Are you attracted to someone?

Its insane, attraction I mean, how do two people get attracted to one another? Whats the science behind it? Is it the looks, the attitude, the aptitude, or just an amalgamation of all of those?

People ask me about my husband and me, how did we land up getting married to each other, its simple, we are opposites, I think of him as a Monk, calm, quiet, peaceful, not that impulsive, takes a lot to make him jump off his seat. He is like a rock, solid, like an anchor - unmoved by any strong currents.

Look at me, I am impulsive, dreamer, live each day at the time, there is nothing constant about anything I do, routine sucks for me, I laugh easily, cry with equal ease, I am self admitted Drama Queen..

So what brought us together? I wont call it fate, it was more than that, its that feeling which tells you that yes you can spend the rest of your life with the person, being yourself.

Well.. on a closing note, I hope there were a formula for this phenomenon called Attraction, but until some genius figures that one out, lets just say its magic, no one knows why, but yes, it very much exists!

Adios!

Happy faces

Something made me google for 'Happy Faces', checked the image results and you know what, the results were pretty surprising.

Most of the images were the Smiley yellow faces, the emoticons which have become an enternal part of our cyber lives, the other pics were of kids or dogs.

Its not surprising to see kids smiling, what amused me is the fact that there were no pics of adults smiling out there, weird, why do we become so serious?

It reminds me of an incident few years ago, I was supposed to meet my friends near a certain Petrol station in Bangalore, we were heading out for a day at the amusement park, and though I had stayed in B'lore for more than 6 yrs then, I landed up at the wrong place, so stuck there, while I called my friends and let them identify where I was, cursing myself all the time, a lady sitting her big car called out to me, my immediate thought was that if she was asking about directions, then she reached out to the wrong person, how can someone lost guide anyone else?

Thinking and smiling, ready to tell her that I am lost and can't help her, I moved close to rolled down car window, when this lady smiles at me and says, "you looked so happy, I just wanted to say Hi" , shocked, amused, I smiled even more, wished her a nice day and then moved back to the spot where I was standing awaiting my friends..

This little episode is very close to my heart, whenever I am a bit sad or low, I just relive the moment.. It never fails to bring back a smile onto my face, boy if I can look happy while lost, I can be happy period.

Maybe thats what missing in so many adult's lives, this little bit of happiness, we are looking out for bills, needs, wants, money, that we forget about the little things that count.

Here is to making them count and looking forward to more happy faces..

Cheers!
