The Little Things..

Life,they say is beautiful...

It pitter-pattered on my window-pane.Craning my neck,I tried to look out.Rain drops on my cheeks.Gently caressing a rain drop,I look up at the grey sky.Pathos.The sky,as if it was a mother;longing to see her baby,just once.She can hold herself back no more.
What is it with the rain....I wonder.

A sultry afternoon.Uncomfortable but not unwanted.Yet,not invited.
Staring at the clock which vehemently refuses to deviate from its tedious pace,I wonder if the wait would be worthwhile.I wonder if I should fainly let it go..
Little had I realised that it had slipped off my hands already....gone forever.
Time.... is that what you call it?

The first silent prayer.Asking Him for the first time to help someone else.To take care of someone.And hoping He listens.....silently.

The first school-speech.Nervously clutching the microphone.Uttering those innumerable-times-practiced words.Avoiding those darting stares.Unnecessarily,tucking that shirt in or pulling that skirt down or straightening that tie up.School life.....

Hurrying home.Its late.An angry dad.That frosty stare.That numb reticence.Saying it all....
And then the next morning sitting you down and explaining the already-explained morals.Something that'll live with you all your life.....those words.

The Sundays.The lazy winter mornings.The fights.The birthday bumps.The coffee.The secrets....the little things.

Those little things that fill up every tiny space within you.Telling you that its not all about success,failure or the hyped achievements.
Theres something about that first dew-drop twinkling outside your window.
Theres something about gazing at the sky,at those stars and making a small little promise to yourself.
Theres something about staying up late at night doing nothing.
Theres something about that smile which makes you forget everything else.
Theres somthing about those little things.....

Life,they say is beautiful...
