All smiles! :D

So it’s your regular Sunday afternoon and I was back from the Sunday class.
It had been quite an inactive week.
The usual: Less talking, more sleeping, feeling guilty for not talking and sleeping more.
Today’s day was particularly sad L Amidst the less niceness and more rudeness I faced today, the only thing I started craving for after unlocking my door, slamming it behind me after coming back was: to see a beautiful smile.
And the search began. 

Smile! I need to see someone smile! 
Where can I find a beautiful smile?
DAMN! All the doors in my corridor are locked!
Let me explore foreign territory (Other floors) ..
“Hey! How are.. ”
“Oh Hi! I’m glad you came! You know this thing happened yesterday and it led to this thing today and then….”
“Yaar I’m bored”
“Hello Tikkis! What’s up”
I got very interesting discussions on topics from GATE to interviews to GRE to things happening within the campus (final semester, what can you say!). But didn’t get any smile. I guess my timing was wrong. L
So with heavy head hanging down, I came back and lay down and tried to remember all the smiles I had ever seen. Fortunately I recalled few smiles that I liked to remember. I could count them on my fingers. A true, genuine smile has more healing power than we think. We'll see what it does to you in some time.

When life gifts me days filled with abject misery or I’m feeling hopeless or downtrodden, I don’t require a consoling discussion dripping with pragmatism and logic right away. Being a petulant person, I can guarantee you my mind would wander on its own journey after some three minutes. If you dare continue, I might ruin your day as well!
What I’m trying to say is that the mind is not receptive for logic just for the moment. So however correct the other person might be, their efforts are futile. I would be able to properly understand and work upon the suggestions given to me once I get composed and the mind is placated.
And for that, we don’t need to bother with any lengthy procedures, when just a simple genuine smile would do! I am amenable to that extent that a nakli wala ‘It’s going to be all right’ is an added bonus! J

Coming back to the main point! I would like to describe the most beautiful smile like Joey describes the best sandwich which he could take a bullet for, in F.R.I.E.N.D.S 

So imagine a day when you are at your lowest. One of those days that come once maybe in two months. You have had a rough day, none of your jobs have been done properly and in the evening you are there sitting like a fat lump (or in cases like me, a twig! :P ), sulking, brooding, annoyed by everything coming in your way.

May be your day started off badly and by the time of the sunset, you are infuriated! The mind is occupied and an ugly frown adorns your face. You take quick steps, you are stomping your way till the home and you're determined to rant it out on the next person you see. 

You press the doorbell three times quickly. No one responds for 10 seconds. You do it a couple of times more.

THE DOOR OPENS

And before you say something, the face of the person lights up on seeing you back home. And the smile is so beautiful that it goes right through you. It somehow seizes the permission to remain angry anymore. It makes your insides tingle. And flowers start blossoming inside you like they showed in the advertisement of Strepsils. The volcano, which was on the verge of bursting now quickly becomes dormant. Your breathing slows down, the mercury dips, and as you enter your home, you forget 80% of the reason of your earlier state of vexation and the rest 20% becomes insignificant as the monster deflates slowly. All the irritation, anger was self-created. Why was I angry, again? It's not required anymore. You have found better things to do now!
All the endorphins have been released, the bad mood is gone. At least two hours of being grumpy are saved, you lips are stretched and the eyes are sparkling.

This kind of thing that I was craving for today. 

Isn't it amazing that eyes can convey better and a simple genuine smile can heal quicker and better than hackneyed statements!

The simple joys in life are so inexpensive and therefore should be abundantly scattered yet somehow I found so much difficulty in finding one today.

Anyway the grumpiness ended today when they announced, "A monkey has come inside the hostel. Please get inside the rooms" and the mood flipped instantly.
Blahaha! What is the poor guy doing here?!

So we now come to the end of what I had in mind.

I'm not very sure if I conveyed what I had in mind properly so that you construe it in the way I intended to, but  I'll be sad if this long blog post didn't make you smile even once.
So, here are twins who are happy for the fact that this long post is over now! :D
Tada!
