It’s The Little Moments That Make Life Big

He:  Babey… Get all your work done before I leave for work.
Me: Ok!! Something important to discuss about?
He: No. It’s just that I get frustrated if I don’t speak to you before starting my day at work.
   (That just sparked a firework of happiness in my heart and made me grasp, “smallest things acquire the largest space in our hearts”)

The social networking fling has spoilt the charm of small things. Being able to easily express the feeling of happiness or sadness or frustration through status updates have brutally killed the lighter moments. It have only made us over exaggerate minor happenings into breaking news flair. We have by time forgotten that smaller means of happiness tend to linger in our mind which we need in our stressed lives than the extreme happiness that gushes in our nerves and is flown out with the same speed.

A passionate kiss or a bed breaking sexual stand would give happiness but only for that period of time. The effect of it withers after its repeated grace. What dawdle through your mind is his staring at you in the mirror image while you dress up beautifully, during an important score against FCB that he didn't wanted to miss. Showing you off as a trophy wife/girlfriend in a high-end party doesn't hold on to our emotion so firm but his angst for you while he makes you cross the crowded junction by gripping your hand tightly does.

Violence or abuse during a fight cannot be ever forgiven but accidently meeting of eyes after the fight and his agony of remorse makes you hold on to him. Considering you as his angel and placing a gentle kiss on your forehead after a long tiring day is an instant relaxant.

Your hormones may take you on an emotional roller coaster ride but his attempt at making you laugh with his quirky jokes during your mood swings make you sprawl with relief.

Life may toss bad, worse and worst instants at you and you may try to cope up with the rainy days but a comforting hand placed on your shoulder during tough times to make sure he is there for you increase your determination.

In middle of the movie scene his looking at you and smiling maybe to resemble you to the character cannot stop you blush and reminisce. Saving you a bigger piece of your favourite cheese pizza is much relishing.

His concern for you evidently drips of his face when he waits to wave goodbye until you get disappeared to a tiny self in the crowd. Waiting restlessly to get your attention over the road until you finish speaking to a lost friend you met incidentally reflects your importance in his life.

Nothing can be more romantic than him fiddling with your hair strand that flew on to his face during a light moment at the beach. Noticing your smudge kohl during a dinner date and wiping it out for you makes you feel more elegant while your heart swells with pride to have him by your side. Magic of the adorable moments of calling you out with weird names that you haven’t even heard of to sound cute will never be a passé.  Tirelessly nodding in agreement for the 10th yellow kurta you tried on at a fashion outlet for the sake of your happiness and your love for the colour can only be understood by him. The quite conversations in a candlelit room, caressing your palms inattentively sitting at the beach are the velvety moments that nurture your relationship stronger at each step of life. 

Planning a surprise for you in his own special ways to see the astonishment on your face remains fresh in your treasure-trove of memories forever.
His waking up in middle of the sleep and calling you up after he had a bad dream shows how much your presence mean to him. A compliment pierced for you to smile in middle of a serious conversation though how minute but changes your mood promptly.
Holding you as close as possible to protect you in a crowded train; its love, compassion, care and passion in these small moments that counts.

The social network can only do so much. It may display the glossiest image of him holding you in his arms along with a flashy love quote from the bestselling novel as a caption but the fear in his eyes and the emotional preparation he had to go through before the proposal was well worn out through the finest editing app. You really need to know the priceless emotion behind his striking smile and the value of the tear that dripped off silently from the corner of his eye while he was consoling to have hurt you. Ongoing small gestures can mean so much more than one grand display of love. These smaller gestures that went unnoticed while you were expecting the bigger surprises from life are worth a million dollar; cherish them for life because once the time flies these small gestures can never be regained.
