It's not about what you say or do but a lot more about how you make them feel :)

In my past few months of a very high travel adventure stint, I came across lots of people from all over the world. Some mad hatters and adventuresome, few shy and introverted, some loud and simple, and some plain nice and high, basically all kinds!

Looking back I wonder what do I remember vividest, whom do I miss the most, who crosses my mind and heart instantly, which memory makes me really nostalgic and a sudden realization touches me right away. Faces flashed, times relived and the heart wandered.

People ask to stay in touch all the time, they want to be remembered mostly always, but whats the mystery to why only few stay in the heart forever. Sometimes few faces whose names I no longer remember and in no way would ever be able to even know pass my mind, those brief encounters with few souls makes me feel warm in the inside.

It was not just about what they said to me or what they did for me. It's more about how they made me feel. How their words, smiles, glances, embraces and also silence touched me :)

Your words won't last long nor would your actions but only how you treat and make people feel would. Can one can't fake it? Trust me, no!

One learns with time to keep the circle positive and moving for it to be vicious. People be nice, treat people well :)

Humans

Nothing has ever intrigued me more than the way humans do.

We are fascinating creatures, complex yet the most simple of all.

If there is one thing which I have been able to understand about humans and human behavior  is that we all are unique and yet we all are so very similar running on the very same few basic rules of survival.

Few of which I want to compile, these are entirely based upon my observation of people;

Primarily, I see all of us need validation and appreciation for the work we do, how much ever trivial it might be. ALL OF US want to be noticed and acknowledged, it’s a major driving factor towards better output and bigger targets. Yes, even more than money many times. Ever wondered how happy you make your mom just by saying you enjoyed the meal she cooked?

Secondarily, people want to belong to each other. We evolved and formed society for a purpose that was to stay together, to belong to a place, a region, a country, a religion which we could call ours. No one wants to be left alone.

And lastly, we all need love, care and attention without getting judged, be it men or women, old or young, we all crave for people to express their undivided love and care to us. Men many times would shy out from such analogies, but then I see small little boys clinging to their moms for embraces and caresses and understand that as they grow it doesn't dry up, they just learn to camouflage it well.  J

We are divided yet we are all the same. Hungry for validation, love, care, attention and belonging.

Here is my favorite on love, life and hope J Haaeeeeppyy reading!
