I realise it now...

There u sit in office and the lunch time draws near. You see everyone in office getting together and opening up their lunch boxes. Out comes, not only daal, sabzi and roti, but also love and care. You notice the amount of love, the mothers and wives have poured into those boxes. And there u r sitting, waiting for the peon, to get you something to eat.

Its evening and you leave office. You see everyone so happy and joyful, going back to their loved ones at home. They ring their bell and their come their kids, joyfully and happily greeting them. The hug, the kisses, the love. It makes all life worth living. And there you are riding back home in the auto, knowing very well the only thing waiting at home would be ur TV, ur Laptop and ur Mobile...

Night falls, and dinner time comes by. You know everywhere, there would be the garam roti greeting most people. And here you are, walking off to the local market to buy some roti and sabzi to fill ur hungry stomach.

Guys, its not that I dont have loved ones. I perhaps have the most loving mother and the most loving girlfriend in the world. But its at these moments, that you realise the value of human warmth and touch. When people used to talk abt a warm hug, one never realises it. I do it now.

When things go tough, for example in office. Targets are missed, pressure is immense, all you want is someone to come up to, hold ur hand and say.. Its gonna be ok.. When you come back home, tired and broken, all you want is someone to take you in their arms and say.. Its gonna be ok...

The human touch has that power and I realise it now. When I do get a chance to meet her, maybe once a month or so. I always tell her.. I hold ur hand and I forget all my tensions.. Its not a mushy dialogue from any movie.. It happens and I realise it now...

So all you guys, who are lucky enough to stay with their mom, dad, wife, kids or whoever. Dont forget to go give them a hug today. Dont feel embarrased to go give them a kiss and tell them how much you love them. Dont mind in holding their hands and letting them know you are there for them.

For its this touch that I miss. For its those hugs that I miss. For its that warmth that I miss. And I realise it now...
