Little Things are no Small Wonders

Goooooooood morning!
Mine really happened on the note of good so here I reflect the same...
Last night we returned home late from a get together....and hubby dearest had a train to catch at 6 in the morning...Like always, I had to drop him at the station...yup even if it’s at 4 am...I hate to see him go with the driver... we call him only for the late night trains...

Anyways, it was a dumb train this time...the ones that usually get late...even if they have to reach up to Delhi only....I asked him if I should pack something to eat for the way because the train might get late...And he said no, it’s 3.30 now...just go to sleep while I get ready....
He always picks up something on the way if need be...so while at 3.30 in the morning, he went to the loo to freshen n bathe n all....now don’t ask me to describe the ‘all’ here...I got down to my kitchen skills...

Prepared some neat kneaded in milk parathas of onions, coriander n ajwain.... wrapped in nice foil, with a spoonful of sabzi ka achaar and a dash of homemade makkhan...yup, maine he banaya yaar sab...early morning while the birds were still wrapped tight in the arms of Mr. Sleep...
Aaj koi romantic aatma ne shareer mein pravesh kar liya tha it seems....!

So then with a sweet piece of mithai n napkins I packed it all up with a note...
“Something of a breakfast...don’t know how good it is...but is for the good-est man I know
...n made with loads of love”
Waise, some wise guy has said this...I think it was a dear friend again... that adrenalin levels are at their peak early morning...but thankfully I was peaking at some other levels here for a change...
Tugging my saree in the folds of my petticoat, wiping the beads of perspiration off my face, drawing aside the lock of hair that dropped playfully before my eyes, with my flour soaked hands...
Haha...all nautanki this is....there’s no saree there...woh bhi early morning????????? Just mentioned it here remembering that scene from the flick Bobby....

So back to the real scene at hand....Then, I packed it up n kept it in the mithai packet that hubby was taking to Delhi...for his company people...
And just as he got down from the car at the station...after that warm hug...I told him.... Whenever you feel hungry take a peek into the packet....!

Then i forgot about it but a couple of hours later ek bilkul mush sms came from him.... “The excellent breakfast n the note has got me feeling out of this world...so glad and thankful that YOU are my wife....!”

So right now I am on cloud 9....!
This is not a self promotional ad...
Though I wouldn’t mind if I get promoted by it too...
It’s just to bring across.... that small words, little thoughts, minute gestures and just a bit of warmth go soooooooooo longggggggggg a way in maintaining n strengthening relations...
Also that marriage is beautiful...! Period!
Nothing warmer than this....yup I tried sitting in the furnace too...just to make sure...
Marriage works hands down....
It’s up to us to take the first step often...feel the need to do these small things to keep the magic alive....!

Bas just wanted to share this...n say let’s not cocoon ourselves in the feeling that after a while there is no need to express how we feel...It’s always required....always meant to be shown...in every relation that makes our fabric. Also the fact that reciprocating is equally important as acting and reacting.
Let’s not take people around us for granted...let’s release ourselves of all limitations to reach out...in whatever small way and begin to care....!
