The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand


Hmm...what to say about this chap..Moon is my best friend..has always been there for me...it's a patient listener, silent observer. It pacifies me when ever I am sad or stressed and cheers me up.
I wrote these lines for my dear friend some time back.

Jo karta hai mujhse bahot saari baaten

Jiske saath ho jati hain meethi raaten

Hai yeh mera bahot purana saathi

Iski har chandni mujhe dheeme se hai chhoo jati


Iske sath guzara har lamha khaas hai

Jab bhi chahoon yeh mere paas hai

Lekin jab chhupta hai baadlon ke peechhe

Lagta hai yeh mujhse naraaz hai


jab iska sath deti hain barsaat

aur bhi khoobsurat ho jati hai raat

padti hai jab chandni boondon par

aisa lagta hai ki mil gaya ho har manzar


log kehte hain chand mein daag hai

uski chandni sooraj ki aag hai

humara rishta kaise samjhaoon main

mere liye to mere har geet ka raag hai

To catch a smile

A smile is a facial expression with the upward contours at the ends of your mouth :-)Sometimes, it may not be mouth that is telling of a smile; it may just be that sparkle in your eyes!

Ok starting with the title of my blog. I really like this phrase ' To catch a smile'. There is so much around us in this world. Infinite opportunities to smile and even more to frown at. Now it depends on us what we chose. Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. I heard this line in the movie PS. I love you. Though I cried like hell watching the movie. But realized how true it is. Smile not only brightens our day but also of many others we meet and that little smile makes them remember us forever. Smiles can be of various types. It can be a cute smile, Contended smile, Confident smile, Beautiful smile, Naughty smile et al. Whichever it is, smile is the best way to de-stress. It takes out all worries of work, personal life and social life.

There are myriad reasons to smile. If I list down the things which make me smile; the first one that comes to my mind is a naughty smiling baby. God that’s the most innocent smile. It captivates you with it’s charm and mischief. Another thing which brings a smile on my face is Rain. Rains give smile of hope to farmers. It invigorates the birds, trees, flowers and everything around us. Makes everything look so beautiful and pure. I love eating Bhutta and sipping chai ‘On the roof, in the rain’.

“There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.”- Vicki Baum

This is one activity which unites all senses; it makes me feel I am in a complete different world.

Watching a nice comedy movie is an easiest way to smile (laugh). Though not a comedy movie Jab we met is one movie which brings smile to my face whenever I watch it. It’s simplicity and naughtiness leaves with no option then to smile.

Spending time with friends and family is always full of smiles and banters. Recently I have got one more reason to smile, our yearbook. Reading the funniest moments, nicknames, and Arvind Sir’s message makes me smile.

I think I have given good number of reasons which make me smile. What I request everyone is to make their own list of things which make them smile. Trust me its fun. With this I wrap up my first post. I hope you don’t forget to smile !! [:)]
