Hands that comfort

I hate to leave my blogs on sad note, so this is something that I just read somewhere and thought it was the nicest things, I have heard in a long time! "Do u know y GOD created gaps between our fingers? so that somebody can hold our hands, fill the gaps AND be with us FOREVER!!" Jagjit Singh, immortalizes the thought by these words "Haath chute bhi to rishte nahin chora karte waqt ki shaakh se lamhe nahin tora karte" Which means "It does not matter if physical bonds break, the memories are everlasting" When I first came to this Country , no wonder there was a culture shock. And one amongst that was seeing couples kiss openly. Of course! I did see quite a lot of things in Bombay but also saw policemen chasing away those poor lovers cuddled up on the beach. Sorry for the digression:P But, on of the ocassions, me and one of my Amroo friends were walking and we saw a couple holding hands casually and walking. Though, it was a normal sight to see, but there was something really special about that. Thats when she said " Americans dont mind kissing, we do it all the time, but when you see a guy holding his girl's hands in that manner, it surely means that it is not just one of those transient affairs" I was amazed at that revelation. And it only made sense after that. Many a times, it is not even the remarkable chemistry that is evident amongst the couple, but you can tell a lot about the relationship just the way they hold each other. A kiss can be misleading, and might signify passion and sometimes people do it without thinking much. But, when was the last time you actually held hands like that?? It signifies a bonding. An invisible thread that binds two people. It is not just between lovers but even amongst friends. We all never receive Oscars everyday, but everyone of us deserves an award in form a a friendly hug or a peck:) I do not recollect a time in a long time now when someone has held my hands saying "Its all going to be OK":) Guess thats what makes it so precious, coz you dont get it everyday! Yet again, a short post! '
