Today I was heading to grocery store next door, on the way a lady asked me if I could drop the shopping cart she was returning to store. I gladly accepted, the smile and gesture she returned is unforgettable. I was any-way going into store, pushing the cart needed least effort but the gain I got out of it is a smile and appreciation from a stranger yet felt it so near to heart.
The other day I was carrying my friend's son he is just nine months old, smart and chubby boy. I just tickled him and swung him around, he started to laugh and enjoy the swing. Most of the kids love to have swing in air but he made it so special that moment is picture perfect in front of me.
My neighbour next door has a daughter who is three years old, one day she just came and knocked the door when I answered, her mother told me it was her daughter who knocked for fun while playing. So I stared at her she gave me an naughty smile and hid behind her mother to defend herself.
I go to library not just to return or get book, to get the warm welcoming smile from my librarian, which makes my day.I like dimples created when some people smile. Some express their smile through their eyes.
So, when I came to United States of America first thing I noticed was smiles flashing from almost everybody. I was puzzled at beginning, in my country India we give smile only if we know the person its gesture of acknowledgement. No free smile for strangers! It's different cultures, no wonder what the frequency of smile is just see to it that its always form heart rather being artificial.
One thing I cann't forget is during my marriage ceremony, smiling for photographs that was artificial one. I had smiled to the extent that I felt dragged at my cheeks and jaws started to ache. Whatever, it did the magic.
