Joie-de-vivre

There are certain times in your life when everthing seems picture perfect. When it feels that all the sacrifices that you have made was worth this moment. Moments which reinstill your faith in the old saying that all good things are worth waiting for. It is your hope and the joi-de-vivre which keeps you ignited. You again think about Morgan Freeman uttering those special words "that hope is a good thing, maybe the best things and all good things never die". Yor are right sir, human spirit is indomitable.

Life is a wonderful myriad of relationships and bondings which makes it worth living for. Everyone has some pillar on which his enitre cosmos is supported. For me it is my parents. Very few people have come any close to the amount of respect and adulation that they command. Whether it is my father's never say die attitude or my mother's philosophy that every indivual is nice in this world, these thoughts have always been the two primary notions on which i have judged people around me.Whatever i am or will achive in future, the two thoughts would always stay my primary building blocks

I have always tried my best to be a good son and bring them happiness in whatever small way that i can. Now finally i can sense that they are very happy. I can sense happiness exuding out of my father, although he tries to hide his emotions, an art which he has perfected.It takes a lot to make my parents think on similar lines, but finally i have succeded.Now that both of them are coming to meet me on my 26th birthday, i could not have asked for anything better.My not so perfect life, seems it just got better.Since last 7 years i have craved to spend quality time with them. With my family spread over in corners of the country, i wish how once more we could spend time together.I will miss my brother, his presence would have made the occasion absolutely perfect for me.

The night is going to be a long night for me.The mere thought of embracing my mom, once when she arrives sends goosebumps. At the stroke of the midnight hour tomorrow, the kid will rise again.....:)
