Thursday

A regular day at school was what that Thursday seemed to be. I was sitting with my friend, gossiping along, when a group of small guys passed us by. A usual habit of mine, I waved up to all of them.

Most felt self-conscious, and embarrassed to gesticulate to a stranger, and worked their way out with awkward glances. Among those, was this small lanky fella- who turned around as I waved. And to my utmost astonishment, and a pleasant disbelief, he blew me a flying-kiss!

We never met again, nor did I pursue his trail to hunt for him in the school. I doubt we shall ever come in contact again. But if we do, I would love to express my happiness to him. He made my day. A simple signal of acquaintance, and a confident relaxed attitude might just breed cheerfulness in the world.

I learnt that day.

I try to make sure that I do not confine this chain of happiness. Maybe I could produce it too.

Be human.
