An invaluable gift

This planet is a beautiful mélange of living and non living things and elements. When we think of human civilization and evolution some elements despite being non-existent in concrete form, have a great value. Many wave these elements away, often disregarding them as non-living, but the ones who make sure to value them are truly wealthy in every sense. One such element in our life is emotion. Emotions are a complex phenomenon. It is about our feelings about a thing, situation or a person. The best thing about emotions is that we can choose how we feel about something and we can spread how we feel across the world.

Positive emotions have a strong impact on a person. And one person is determined to spread happiness and joy among the known and unknown, he/she has the power to share his feelings through gestures. Sharing is a strong gesture. The gesture has the hidden superpower to transport smiles across miles. When we share something out of a good gesture, along with the physically existing commodity, a strong positive vibe travels the distance between two humans to set them on same wavelength. It is the wavelength of feelings, of happiness, of smiles and of positivity.

When I open up a pack of any of the McCain Snacks I strongly feel that the brand, apart from the ingredients have packed something special, something beyond value in the small packet of the frozen snack. It always brought a smile to my face. One fine Sunday, not having much to do, I thought of sharing happiness with others. How would I do it, was still a hurdle for my thoughts.

While focusing on this food for thought, I prepared the easy-to-make Mc Cain Wedges, French Fries and Smiles. The smiles made me smile, and the thought of sharing the same smiles with someone, made me even more excited. I quickly prepared the same, and packed it in a hot case so as to capture its freshness, and set out the foot out of the house. I do not know what made me do so, but as soon as I came out of the house, I had a thought to share these smiles with someone who really cherishes the happiness, with a open heart. And then I thought of Kallu and his friends. Kallu is a young boy, who lives nearby, with his parents, in the slum area adjacent to our colony. Her mother irons the clothes of the locality, and life has always been hard for them. He often delivers the clothes to my flat, and today, I thought of touching his life, with a smile.

Feeling contended and fulfilled, I walked towards his house, only to find him play nearby with his friends. I immediately signaled him to come to me. He is a friendly child always ready to strike a conversation with anyone. But today, I promised more than a delightful conversation. As he and his friends came nearby, I asked them to accompany me to the nearby park for a Sunday picnic. They were overjoyed at the proposal. I took them to the park, where I made them all to sit in a circular shape. Everyone was beaming in high spirits, and I told them I wished to treat them today, for they are good children.

Their eyes lit up with a strange sense of serenity and joy. It seemed as if we were suddenly on the same plain, despite being so different, in age and in lifestyle. As I opened up the boxes in front of them, they were hesitant to take a step forward to grab a bite of the delectable fries, smiles and wedges. I took the initiative and offered to each of them, with a smile on my face. That moment when I was sharing food with them, made me feel as if I am sharing a part of myself, and feeling happy about the same.

I was calmly seeing them eat peacefully, when I saw Kallu came to me with a box in his hand, extending his hand towards me, and said, “Bhaia, aap to lo na!!” The moment made me realize how important is to share, in order to feel the real pleasure of life. the smile which we shared amongst ourselves.. that invaluable gift which I got from my little friends made me learn the lesson of life, and the pleasure of sharing, in order to attain peace.
