I have this tendency to smile at people around me, I like to see everyone around me happy and I always try my best to make someone smile. It doesn't matter to me if I knew that person or not, and let me be honest, Sometimes I really get some weird looks from the other person as well. Some people has a puzzled look on their faces, where as few people return a smile too. I really feel nice when I get a smile in return, it really makes my day.
As I mentioned that it doesn't matter if I knew that person or if I had never ever talked to that person, I call such persons "SMILE FRIENDS". And I have such 'smile friends' in my society, in my office, in shopping stores.
As a person, I'm a kind of fun loving, happy go lucky person. But when it comes to talk or approach a girl then I'm very shy. Let me write about one such smile friend of mine.
Every afternoon I wait for my pick up cab near my home at a regular pick up point. A girl from some other dept of my company also comes in the same cab. First few days it was all normal, I used to wait alone with my earphones plugged in and listening to music/FM as if I'm not aware of any such creature coming with me in the same cab. Those days I was really feeling low because of my project and location transfer orders from my office. I could not concentrate on any one particular thing and was least interested anything related to office.
Then one day something special happened. at first, it was the same normal day for me, I was depressed because of office environment and pressure. I was feeling very low and was waiting for my cab at the usual spot. Then that girl came, I just looked into her eyes for a moment and I smiled at her. (I was really confused about my smile as it came out of NOWHERE.) To my surprise, the girl returned a smile. somehow I felt nice receiving that smile.
Then it became a kind of routine and everyday we exchanged Smiles at the pick up point. We never spoke to each other even once till date. But the first smile of her gave me the confidence. It actually didn't make any difference to my office environment or my transfer at that time but it made a big difference to me. It gave me new strength and hope to fight even harder. It was only because of this 'SMILE FRIEND' that I'm now back to my original self. The girl still smiles at me at least once everyday and I sometimes wonder if she also believes in 'SMILE FRIENDS' and may be I'm one of her such 'SMILE FRIEND'??
This is just one incident about one of my 'SMILE FRIENDS' and I have plenty of them out there who makes a huge difference in my life everyday. It gives me positive energy and new confidence and hope to face anything that comes across. And I really want to thank all my 'SMILE FRIENDS' for one simple curve on their face which literally costs nothing to them but still means a lot to me.
And with this experience of mine, I would end this blog with a message to everyone - ALWAYS GIVE A SMILE TO OTHERS, because a simple smile from you can make someone's day. THANK YOU ALL MY DEAR SMILE FRIENDS.
