Smile😊😊😊

                     "A simple smile. That's the start of opening your heart and being compassionate to others." 

                  We all were somewhat "jailed" at our homes for around 3-4 months; now, after we all in the process of living the new normal are stepping outside of our houses for some reason or other. 2020 has been worst at it's epitome, showing all the possible worst things which made our minds go havoc, we lost our faith on humanity, our behavior as a human towards a human as well as towards animals has been savage.

     Now it's been around two months I'm writing blogs and I always thought why ain't I getting even one single positive topic or even a thought to write about, not anyone's fault but nothing pragmatic was taking place. As even I was stuck for so many days like all of us, with many pending documentation work; I finally decided to bit the dust and I went out in a supermart at a considerable distance to drive from my place. Now with all the warrior suit viz. a mask, a scarf covering my face and hair, a helmet on top of all these things; and to my worst it started to rain, in a dulge and then there was an addition of a wind cheater jacket topped with a bottle of sanitizer and I left the house, travelled and reached the mart. And till then it was raining cats and dogs. I just went under the shop's shade and in a tenacious try of handling everything over me, which was all easily perceivable on my face.

                    Now there was a middle aged man, from his functioning he seemed as the manager of that particular store; now let's call him "manager uncle". So, this manager uncle saw me struggle with all my stuffs, came forward, sanitised himself first, helped me with my bag and helmet and let me in. Here it definitely wasn't his job to come out of his desk and help me. After I was done with my shopping and billing. We both had a gaze for a second as if he was confused whether to smile or not; even I was in bit of that dilemma but eventually I smiled from inside of my mask and he also gave a big smile. And I don't know why that one smal gesture made me write today.

                    I believe smiling is one of the powerful connections between all humankind. When you smile at someone, you not only make the person welcomed, accepted and respected, but you also share tremendous benefits of smiling with that person.

                   One smile of his made me wanting to believe in us humans again. I believe in the power of smile. I believe this gesture surely awakes the humane in us.

                   Here is a rhetoric for you guys, somewhere, someday maybe someone's smile might have made your day or maybe your smile has made someone's day; so isn't smile that one thing that makes us want to live and not just survive?
