THE MOST ROMANTIC MAN

The most wonderful words a man can say is not “I love you”. 


Once I met this guy at the place I used to volunteer every week, we worked in the same team for a while.
During the long hours of scuffle with the targets when we went for lunch, he kept looking at me. Becoming conscious I asked him, “is there something stuck in my teeth?”
To which he responded looking deep into my eyes, “I love to watch you eat”.


Since, he had worked for the child rights for more than 5 years; he was heading our 30 member team. And after work at times we would gather and play silly games of questions and answers. When he was quizzed that what has been the happiest moment of his life and he replied, “When 4 year old daughter of my sister whom I was helping to bring up after her divorce called me ‘Papa’!”


After a month we had a party for successful completion of our project. Everybody was dressed up and god knows why I thought of putting up make-up.
And surprisingly everybody complimented! 
After the party he walked up to me and again he looked deep into my eyes and said, “Babe, you look prettiest without make-up”.

That was the last time I saw him but I know right now somewhere he must be making someone ‘The happiest person on Earth’. :)






THANK YOU

There I stood under the hot sun and so did she...

carrying the weight, more than the heavy soul she was..

counting her age lost in the wrinkles on her face...

observed her for minutes, and was drawn to her..

offered to carry some weight that I could..

lost in the crowd, she was like me,

looked as if she found both the desert and the sea..

when I asked where her destination was..

she responded in a number...

and as I helped put her load in the bus,

all she mumbled was a THANK YOU..

the time I realized 

all that she was... just a vagrant...

of my own race ~~
