Day 6 :) ARRIVALS!!!

-

I started my day early today, and was at the airport way before my mom's plane could land and the flight was delayed! So,I just sat around watching the display board and everyone coming and going.
I love ARRIVALS :) I just love to watch people meeting after a gap, and you can even gauge the possible duration of separation and the intimacy between the person arriving and the receiving party.
You may have noticed that a fair share of people are so shy to display their emotions and yet something as small as the lighting up of their faces gives them away in an instant:)Its sweet! I sat there watching and smiling, and smiling some more :D Who ever said distance makes the heart grow fonder knew what he was talking about!
So there was this particular man who was really restless in the waiting area with me, he kept peeping through the glass, looking at his watch and the display TV so frequently I was starting to get a little nervous! I thought something must be wrong!
After a good twenty minutes, I saw his face transform into a light bulb! There were two small girls waving out! And he was bobbing up and down to see them clearly and he just couldn't contain himself any longer, and started blowing them kisses! Hehe :)
The kids went back in, (there are automatic doors so they keep closing)he got restless again! This time I was just grinning :D
Finally the kids come running out like balls from a cannon! There was a loud "Baba" in unison and they were both in his arms :) After showering them with kisses, he looks up and there!! The trolley with a zillion bags yes! But what shocked me more were there were three other kids and the wife!! :) He ran up and there were hugs :) and then it was just him and his wife, and he shook hands with her! Yes a HANDSHAKE!! The longest handshake that had a sort of sweet lingering to it, and they were just looking at each other and smiling, and he gave her a peck on her wrist! It was really the most romantic handshake I have ever seen !
I think I will be smiling the rest of the day today:)
Its so strange, I mean I have seen people kissing, holding hands,making out (absurdly sometimes if I may say so :P) many times before, but none of them made me smile that smile :)
I guess special things just have a way of standing out, and emotions are tricky things, the harder we try subduing them, the louder they speak :)

RELATIONSHIPS ?!!?%#%&^*^%%

What do relationships mean to different people? How different is one relationship from the next or how similar?? For some people, its so important what other people think of them.. to the extent that they live their whole lives trying to impress the world..! Most of the time we don't realize that we really are not answerable to anyone! (Except on judgment day of course;)) But then again, can you live your life without caring about what the world thinks? I mean ultimately, come on, let's be honest, we all wanna be universally loved ;) But then, of the 100's of people we interact with.. Why is it that some people have such a huge impact on our lives? For no reason at all? And it hurts when you don't have the same impact on them? I think its more of what importance we give the other person that lets them have that impact on us in the first place! So it all then comes to why we give some people so much more importance.And do they really deserve all that extra attention in a

On love, dreams and loss

I think the worst part of young romance is that; yes, they fade away because of a simple cause like age, but unfortunate still is that you lose a friend. Probably one that you could have had for life. That is the worst part really, the departure of a true friend. On losing friends, The loss of a friend. By death or as bad when you are both alive and not willing to kick ball together. I have lost more than one friend not because of death. Fortunately, I have lost none to death ; so I cannot truly say which is worse by experience. What I have experienced is that we allow different parts of our personality to come alive with different friends and when the friendship dies; sadly, that part of us does too. On Dreams, Dreams are a mystery. Are they in some strange way reality? Are they even connected to reality? Or are they just an interpretation of what we really want? For all we know they could just be random thoughts the mind brings together when it gets bored of the sleeping

My grandmother was a top ranking student until grade 9, after which her studies were abruptly discontinued & she was married to my grandfather at age 16.  She loved to talk about her keen interest to study, her father and her hometown of Coonoor. Her stories were of a carefree childhood turned into rushed adulthood, when she had to figure out cooking and managing a family. She stayed up a whole night sowing just so she could stitch a dress for my mother (a 2yr old) that she couldn't afford to buy & prove a point. She was a very determined person.  Most of my favourite memories are from when she was still young and able (or should I say extremely capable). She was a very lively person. She loved dogs, and some rather strange pets she had (including a rooster).. she would get her dogs dressed up with sunglasses and a potu at times. She was intelligent, hardworking and did a lot for all of us when she could. She was an amazing host, a great cook and she loved to teach biology
