When a child is born, everybody loves her. The mother loves her the most.
I am considering, she’s a girl. You can think of her as a boy too. But, there’s a reason why I chose the child to be a girl. The parents carry her in their arms. Shows her the world. Gives her candies and all the love. They think she is learning by seeing the world and will remember what all she sees in her childhood.
But, she seldom remembers because she was a kid after all. The parents were doing all this so that when she grows up and leaves them alone in search of a job or pursue studies or get married, the parents will remember that they did such and such things for her. They will have tears in their eyes and unending love for their child. She will be unaware of all this. She didn’t remember things when she was a kid and she won’t be able to know when she grows up because she won’t be there with them.
But then, this is how it is. A child is born, she’s adored, she grows up, she moves out, parents live with memories. So, the incident when the parents are holding the kid in their arms and showing the moon and the stars and the vehicles on the roads, at that moment, all they want is to see that FANTASTIC smile on the kid’s face. Seldom they realize that those memories will stay with them longer than their kids.
And when the kids are all grown and independent(almost), parents hide their same emotional side fearing that the kids won’t like it and the kids hide because they think their parents won’t like(or sometimes ego issues like WHY SHALL I SAY FIRST?) and just like that one of the awesome relation on Earth is killed.
Stop reading this blog! STOP! Go, call your parent and talk to them, tell them how much you love them, how much you miss them. It’s now! Then come and like/comment here 😉
This post is inspired from the below Quora post –
Q : What is the deepest conversation you’ve ever had with someone?
A : When I was living in a hostel, my mom used to call me daily and we used to have this same 2 minute conversation.
Mom: Beta! How are you?
Me: I’m good.
Mom: Everything’s fine there?
Me: Yes.
Mom: You had your Dinner?
Me: Yes, Mom!
Mom: Anything else?
Me: No! Now, I’ve to go. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
Mom: Good Night!
Me: Good Night!
Short conversation, right? Din’t find anything deep in it, did you? I don’t think most of you would have. But this is what she always meant.
Mom: Beta! How are you?
(I know you must be bored of this question by now, but me and your dad are always worried about you. Just listening to your voice everyday is an assurance for us)
Me: I’m good.
(It’s not easy. Its not exactly like home, but I’m managing somehow. I have my own ups and downs but don’t want to bother you and dad with this stuff)
Mom: Everything’s fine there?
(I know you’ll say yes, but your voice betrays you. I can feel you’re not okay. Something’s bothering you, but I also know that you won’t reveal unless you want to. And If I press it, you might get agitated. We just hope you’ll let us know. We’re always there for you)
Me: Yes, Mom!
(You might have sensed it already, but you know I can’t open up. I hope you don’t force it. I’ll handle it myself)
Mom: You had your Dinner?
(Another stupid question, right? But you don’t realize that even a small stupid detail about you is important for me. I hope you actually ate and won’t just say yes so that I feel good. I know you don’t like your mess food)
Me: Yes, Mom!
(Mess food sucks. I really miss home food. I am tired of eating mess food as well as outside food. Anyways, mess is already closed. I’ll go to canteen today again)
Mom: Anything else?
(Tell me if I can help you out, or atleast make you feel better by listening to you. I’m confident that you’re capable enough to handle any situation, but this is the least I can do for you)
Me: No! Now, I’ve to go. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
(I wish i could tell you. But I need to take care of this myself.
Mom: Good Night!
(I love you beta)
Me: Good Night!
(Love you too, Mom)
Love your parents. Love anyone and everyone. Love without any reason. Love is powerful. So, love yourself first. Love is unequivocal. But still, feel and smile.
P.S.: Yeah! It was powerful. To make you feel better, go listen to Crawling back to you of Backstreet boys! Or, you can go ahead and check this video as a solo-traveler 😉
Ready?*For today? Yes!* Steady?*please don’t make me emotional* Go!*this is what I love the most*
Today marks the 1st day of the A to Z challenge 2016. It’s my first time in the challenge & I am going to learn so many things all together.
“Smiles here & smiles there” has gone 1 level up from today. I have made a YouTube channel in which I will share inspirational thoughts & other random yet relevant thoughts & also some of my personal experiences. You can subscribe to the channel @ Darshith Badiyani.
For today’s alphabet ‘A’, I had many words to talk about like Amplify, Ascend, Attitude, Accept, Artificial, Aim but I didn’t on any of those. To check out the word on which I share my thoughts is in the below video.
I would be grateful to you all if you like, comment, share & subscribe to my new channel so that maximum people can connect to my words. Help spreading the positivity and spreading smiles.
With this new channel, I hope to spread smiles here & smiles there & smiles everywhere 😀
P.S.: Today’s song pick is also on ‘A’. It’s As long as you love me of Backstreet boys. And, I follow many people in WP but there are some special souls out there and three of them are Allison, Aadhira & Aditi. Their names also start with ‘A’. So you know what all is coming in the future A to Z challenge posts. But do you really know what’s coming? 😉 Have a great day & see you in YouTube ❤
Our mind is like a history book. It keeps tracks of the good, the bad, and the ugly memories of our life. It’s said that when we are on the verge of being free from this world or have a near death experience(NDE), we see flashes of good times of ours in front of us.
How true is the above, I do not know because I haven’t had any NDE but I’d like to believe that it’s true. And for that, if I put myself in that situation I can say I will have some series of good memories flashing in front of me.
My beautiful memories would include falling from my bicycle in 1st standard(I was 6-7years old). It was a hot day and I was back from school. That day I was gifted a cycle by my parents. I was on cloud nine. My happiness knew no bounds. I didn’t even care to change my school dress after returning home. I saw the cycle with the key unlocked when I got down from my father’s bike. He said to me, “Son, this is your gift for getting good marks and also because you are of age to learn to ride a bicycle. Your sister has one & now it’s time for you to learn it too. Don’t try stunts & don’t ride alone. And one more thing, don’t compare yourself with your friends and all the things they have & you don’t because you don’t mention the things which you have & they don’t. And now, please smile, give me a hug, and go inside home and have some food.”
My father left for work and behind him, I also took my new red colored Neon cycle and sat on it with my left leg on the paddle & my right leg on the ground. My mother came shouting my name because I didn’t even keep my bag in the home. She knew it was going to be more trouble with this new cycle. She knew I was naughty and my naughtiness is going to increase with my new partner in crime being gifted to me. I called out to my sister but she didn’t respond. Maybe she was sleeping as she was sick and didn’t go to the school that day. I was getting impatient to ride my new cycle. I owned a tricycle and had ridden it numerous times in our lane and also on the street. But this new cycle was bigger than that. I was a dwarf then and hence it was difficult for me to reach the ground after applying brakes and prevent any mishap. I decided that I won’t ride sitting on the seat because my legs won’t reach the ground. I was not afraid of any injuries(I will get some days off from school & tuitions) but I was scared that my parents will take away my new cycle because I can’t ride properly & so I thought of riding it slowly & cautiously.
My mother asked me to come home & have some food but I was stern and lifted my right leg from the ground onto the paddle and off it went. I was finally riding my new cycle. The bell was also sounding melodious to me with its TIN-TIN sound. I was happy and frightened at the same moment. My mother had the same frightened expression on her face. She was surprised that I was able to ride it. I was smiling. I paddled it and it went smoothly. I had a dream of riding my cycle without holding its handle but I thought of performing that majestic stunt when my mother was not watching or else my father would definitely snatch away my precious gift. I kept paddling & I looked back to make sure that my mother was looking at me riding the cycle. I gave her a grin and waved my right hand in full swing. Her expression changed from frightening to fear and THUD!!
I groaned & shouted, “Moommmmmmm!!” and there she was, holding my head on her lap. I was crying because I had injured my knees(due to my school half pant). I accidentally rode over the bricks at the roadside and fell off. This is what happens when we are over excited. My mother caressed me and wiped my tears and kissed my forehead. She asked me to stop crying and also said that she was happy that I could ride my new cycle in the first attempt and she also promised that she won’t tell father anything about this incident. I didn’t believe her & she double promised me that she won’t. I took my cycle & thankfully there were no major scratches on it. We three walked to our home. I changed my clothes and freshened up and ate some food. My mother applied ointment on my injury too.
She made me promise that I won’t be this irresponsible again while riding my new bicycle and I gladly agreed. I loved the love I received from my mother. It was special and beautiful for me. My sister woke up from her nap and started laughing on seeing my injury but I had a feeling of pride on my face because of my valiant first attempt at cycle riding.
Now, I have seen my mother & father make so many sacrifices for our family but they have never let their children feel any different from the rest. They have done their best to impart good behavior and sane thinking in us. If we(my siblings & I) turn out to be bad/evil then it’s definitely our own fault 😀
There are many more beautiful memories but this will one of the top-rated stories for me and I will always remember the love in my mother’s eyes while wiping my tears. She had tears in her eyes. She was crying because I was crying. She was trying to stop me from crying while crying herself. This is why I love her the most and this is why this memory is my best beautiful memory. So, if ever I am in an NDE state, I will remember this good memory. It made me smile now too.

P.S.: Today’s pick is Shape of my heart by Backstreet boys(this is my favorite band) ❤ Today is the 3rd anniversary of Smiles here & smiles there 🙂 And this site exists because of my cousin Chinks. It’s her birthday today and she has always been a constant inspiration to me since my kiddo days ❤
Moustache: A person is a dude if he has a moustache. I am the sign of his manliness.
Beard: Don’t over think, Mr Moustache. A normal person can have a moustache and still won’t be a dude. For being a dude, he needs to have a beard. Trimmed, well-maintained beard. I magnify the aura of the dude multiple times & I can survive without you too.
Moustache: I agree with you surviving without me but if a person, who wants to be a dude and wants to grow a beard, has to have a moustache first. I am mandatory. I am the foundation and the base. You matter because I matter.
Beard: Now I don’t agree with you there. Seriously? You think that. You, of all people. That’s the lousiest thing I have heard from you and remember, we have been partners since the beginning of time. We used to get much time with each other in the beginning during stone age and when then the evolution started.
Moustache *being emotional*: Yes, I agree. Those were the golden days. We used to be important and mattered to the people. Nowadays we’re just there for style. There is no stability too. One day I am there and girls are wanting to smell me & dwell with me and the next day I am gone. Silly people.
Beard *joining the party*: I have to agree with you. These people are just so unstable. Sometimes they shave me all, sometimes they trim me, sometimes make me a goatee or a french cut. They play with me as if I am a toy. Such a nuisance cannot be tolerated anymore.
Moustache: I feel you, man. Let’s make sure that we won’t tolerate such torture from these people and grow uneven and crazily no matter how much they try to make it even or pay bucks to hair specialist to keep us within boundaries. We are the ones who are awesome and it’s us who help guys look awesome.
Some of the many styles
P.S.: Today’s pick is I want it that way of Backstreet boys(my favorite band) in acoustic version sung by Boyce Avenue ❤
Remember those days
Wonderful days
When we used to talk
And share everything
Almost everything
Each day was a bead
Added to the necklace
To make it look magnificent
The most beautiful necklace
Was being made for you
With both of us involved
And suddenly
The necklace broke
The beads scattered
Running to the farthest corner
Of the room
Making sure they won’t be found
And if ever they do
They can’t be put together
To be the same magnificent
Necklace for you
Now, I am dreadful
Thinking how my reality
Differs vastly from my imagination
But in my mind
That magnificent necklace
Still persists
And you’re it’s
Sole owner 🙂
P.S.:10000 promises of Backstreet boys 😀 Christmas is almost here.. And tonight is Winter Solstice 🙂 Longest night of the year so have fun & do whatever makes you excited and crazy ❤
I knowingly gave the title “Love is God” and in the image added “God is Love” because I sincerely believe that both are synonyms. Some may believe in idol worship and other stuff. I believe in a super power that guides us all. I have named it “Sir” and he guides me always ❤ Do you interact with this super power? Any particular sentence or phrase is common between you both? 😉 Comment whatever you think about Love or God or anything and we can discuss 🙂 This week is almost half done 😛 Hope the remaining half also flies 😉
P.S. : Today’s song is Drowning of Backstreet Boys. This band has really helped me through my happy/bad times and I love them to the core ❤ This IS my FAVORITE BAND, hands sown 😉 Which is yours?
Smiles here & Smiles there
