Ahoy to the other end,
Hope you wonderfully smiled yesterday. Yes, you read it right.
For how long have you been hanging on to laugh out like once you did while you were with your friends before social distancing, that cunning laugh when you are with your parents when they still think you are the most innocent kid ever brought up, that heartfelt laugh when you troubled your troublemaker, what a satisfaction right?
Hey, how about that smile you gave long ago when the ice-gola gaadi uncle served you some extra flavour with little love, you were always ready to buy one more with that monster coloured smiling face. How can we forget the day when you completed your classwork and also your friend’s notes when he was sick? those shared smiles were truly invaluable.
That worse part of your life was when someone stole your spoon during the high school and you had to eat your lunch with hands and all your friends laughing at what you were doing, and you ended up laughing along with them because your kind heart didn’t want to hurt anyone and yeah that was a worse part which was enjoyed thoroughly.
How about those days in the summer vacation when you were waiting for the entire day to get yourself a batting chance. Alas! you barely got a chance but still enjoyed every moment of the match, cheered your cold rival in the team to score more to pull out a victory. That was indeed a moment of victory with exhausted smiles and endless jokes on the opposition team, invaluable those days were.
Then the most insane behaviour you observed with your friend in a movie theatre while watching a horror movie, you were jerked with pure laughter and satisfaction because you knew your friend didn’t like such movies but you intensionally dragged him to the theatre but with an intent to make your friend feel comfortable from the next horror movie at least. Smile again for those days of true friendship.
And the jokes you cracked that day on your manager with your colleagues’ gang in a weekend party, the smile during the pain after your breakup when you realized how beautiful those days were
seems like you are pretty grown up by now. But how many times are you smiling to set your flat curve and making it a trajectory these days, you know it.
All you need to remind yourself is you have already lived a beautiful life all this way and a smile will make it more blissful, not just for you but anyone around. Keep smiling, spread sharing smiles like every time. You are an amazing person.
We hope our virtual hug makes you smile every day.
Regards,
Your Quarantine 2.0 Companions
