JOYS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

Close your eyes and recall the moment that held the most joy for you. I am sure one will think of a moment when someone's smallest gesture went straight to your heart. It could be a smile from a stranger when you were lost in the crowd or an old friend calling you from a distinct land calling you just to say-" I miss you." It might be your mother's tender touch on your forehead when you were unable to sleep, a friend asking you what happened when you thought no one noticed your tears or a single hand on your shoulder when you thought the world was against you!

You might not realize the magnitude of joy these little things give you but when time is bad, these are the memories that pull you through. 

A lavish dinner at a five star hotel might not be able to register itself in your list of sweet memories but sharing a ten rupee chocolate with friends becomes an evergreen memory. You may buy a luxurious car for yourself but the moment becomes worth a tear when your father gives you the keys of a bike he bought for you. materialistic things might make you jump with joy for a moment but what gives you long term happiness are the little-little things done by someone just for you. We may not be able to recollect the gift given to us by our friend on our birthday but we can surely recall when he last saves a seat for you, just because he wanted to sit with you. 

  Things like this make us feel special. If we realize the importance of these small moments life will become something to live for! Its time we make life a movie where joys in little jars is the essence to enjoy and make them special so that later on in life we have stories to tell our grandparents with the moral :
