The Special in the Ordinary...

It is about a few unspoken words in all that you speak and hear
It is about a few unexpressed desires that you seek in your daily life  
Those shy dreams behind your eyelids hiding from everyone out there

It is about the walk you take all by yourself on a lovely evening
It is about seeing a kid with his dad, wobbling around playfully
Those feelings of being complete but yet not whole in a single moment

It is about the unexpected drizzles making you feel refreshed and happy
It is about the strong, energetic wind that gushes through your hair
Those childlike feelings behind the responsible person that you are

It is about the unexpectedly sweet encounter with a stranger in the new city
It is about smiling at the unknown yet known person in your travel to work
Those feelings of being good and grown up as you make your way in the crowd

It is about missing the luscious mangoes you enjoyed with your cousins as kids
It is about recreating those moments with new friends and new roommates.
Those moments of laughter and fun in sharing and teasing in this different phase

It is about that long chat with your best friend over the phone after many months
It is about reliving and cherishing the past days, yet being happy about the present
Those intense feelings of holding to everything that you have ever had and known

It is about achieving certain things that you had dreamed of since long
It is about knowing few things that have faded into the background of life
Those emotions of not being sure what has been gained or lost, but being content

It is like sweet music humming in your ears and in your heart
It is like your own rhythm to the chords of life

No special occasion, no grand event, no splendid date... it’s all in the mind
