love is simple!

I came rushing to office like usual every day morning and found my good colleague and friend panicking with the landline telephone receiver, shouting at someone for not getting something on time. I interrupted as he was putting down the receiver with dismay “what happened?” I asked. He said “these flower delivery guys are useless people”. I understood the incident when he explained in much detail that he had ordered flowers for his dear wife as she was arriving from her native after a week and I saw that even today after 3 years of being married, he sounded panicked for his gesture of love not being implemented as per plan. I decided to help him and suggested that we will go to the nearby florist and he will delivery almost immediately. We ordered red roses meanwhile he got a call from his wife that she reached home and simultaneously the flower delivery guy also left for delivery.

We had resumed work and just in half an hour my colleague got a call on his mobile and he was all blushing and laughing. No questions asked, I know the reason for all the smiles on both ends of the phone lines. Love is simple, expressing is even simpler. With simple signs of showing love why would anyone not feel happy being together? When u exactly know what makes the other one smile it will not take crossing seven hills and rivers to do that for the other.

I will narrate another incident of such bonding. We usually work late if the work calls for it and in one such cases as we were working past 6 our boss told to one of our colleague that he might need to connect back in the night for a presentation and to my shock my colleague refused, he simple said he and his wife have booked for a movie and he has to be going in there or his wife will feel bad about it. This came as a shock to me as at least if it were me I would have lied as something else, but to my surprise this came as an unexpected excuse to give a boss. My boss could not comment much about that but accept the fact that he needs to go. This colleague of mine who would work if required till anytime and complete his tasks without much a nagging but today said outright on the fact that how important family is and commitments are! I felt happy on this and also thought how many of us actually put family in front of work and dare do it when time calls for it. I am sure if he had told this truth to his wife she would have felt very happy. (Maybe when she reads this too)

Career, money, status, keeping busy all these have pushed relationships far away, love and bonding have almost vanished. But still there are some things that we see around us that make us realize love does exist in all these small things that people around us are doing.

For those of us who think work is everything have forgotten when we said ‘I love you’ and received the same from someone dear. We have completely forgot to give love. Do not stop to receive this magic from somewhere try and give it to someone today, and maybe someday it comes back to you as many flowers, smiles, hugs and love. Plant a seed today called love and who knows when it might knock at your door with flowers.

Life is much shorter than we think it is, so no point in sitting in a fully loaded apartment at the age of 40 with a benz parked outside and no one to share it with. Money can still buy you smiling women but none of it is real love, so make sure you make that precious one at your home happy today because tomorrow even if u don’t have the riches in the world you will still be RICH.
