Its always the least significant things that make the biggest impact, every time its the little gestures that make a huge difference in someone's life. It is and will always be the trivial events that change course of a day and sometimes of a life. These teenie-tiny things are what make life livable and treasureable. 


     Imagine having a rough day! Its not so tough for any of us, is it? Your boss shouted at you because she is menopausal. You were late for your appointment because you had a flat tire right right during peak hour. Your most awaited client deal went to your competitor because she has a double D. Your spouse is angry and against you because you don't succumb to the authoritative nature of your in-laws who luckily call up to inform that they are visiting for an extended period of time. You get 3 pimples right on your nostrils. There is pile load of laundry, dishes and dirty carpet to be cleaned before weekend. You get the worst headache of your life right when you had to change into 'superman'. Seems familiar? 


     Well, you are sitting on the sidewalk in the middle of the night, staring into the black sky hoping to see a ray of hope. There is no one whom you could talk without being judged and criticized. You don't know what to do o make everyone love you and admire you for all your sacrifices. You long for the comfort of a cozy embrace but hello? Its possible when you are in college, bonding over beer and dates. This is the real world and in real world, everyone is looking out to hurt you and steal from you. Competition is rampant and you are surrounded like Abhimanyu. 


     Suddenly, a car screeches by and a cute person looks down at your face. He takes a U-turn and stops right in the middle of the road across you and asks, "Are you okay? Do you need some help? Can I do anything for you?". You are startled by this intrusion but at the same time thrilled to see someone care about you. You feebly reply back: "Yup, I am okay. Thanks!". And he asks again:"Are you sure? Would you be fine after I leave? Why don't you just go home and rest? You will definitely feel better. Please.". You smile at him and tell him that your are grateful for his chivalry and you are absolutely fine, there is nothing to worry about. He looks at your face, just to double check, smiles, waves and leaves. And you feel ecstatic because someone bothered to ask about you. Someone took out a minute for you, even if that someone was a total stranger. It feels good to know that you matter to someone, you are more important than anything else, you are wanted. This single little gesture brings back the smile on your face, you bless that stranger in your heart and head towards your home. Happily after all, and when you lie down on your fluffy white pillow you quietly say: "Thank You, Stranger !"
