That feeling you get when you say "Thank you" to a person for doing something, which may be actually their job to do, and the person gets genuinely surprised and rewards us with a smile..
That feeling you get when someone says "Thank you" to you, from the bottom of their heart (according to me, there's a difference in this you know..), just for encouraging them and wishing them well..
That feeling you get when someone says you are beautiful(!) instead of the "cute" compliment you always get..
That feeling you get when someones really enjoys the gift you gave them, even if it's a hand-made one and not so perfect..
And that feeling you get when that someone keeps your gift safe and sound and close to their heart..
That feeling explained...
I had just completed my JEE MAIN online exam, which is a big deal here and one of the "prestigious and future determining" exam and was glad to get finally over with it. And finally she came to me, checked if everything was okay with the system and me, and said I can leave now. I was exhausted from sitting in the same spot for 3 hrs and guessing all the answers, so I was happy that I could finally go.
I said a "Thank you" and turned to leave, when I noticed she was kinda staring at me, as if I said something unusual. Slowly a smile came up on her lips and she welcomed me. It was her surprised look that surprised me and I felt like a warm glow inside me. Really! I got this warm feeling in me that I did something good for someone, in this case making her just smile..
I guess people often forget to acknowledge the things others do for them, just because it was their duty. You would be surprised what a simple "Thank you" can do to others!
The next time I got that feeling was when I wished my friend, who was worrying he would never get the call from the company, and then they called him within a few weeks. I wished him well, and that cheered him a lot, as I myself was waiting for a call from the company I got recruited. He seemed so happy that I forgot about my worry's!
The one and only time someone told me I was beautiful.. was when my braces got removed. My friend, he just looked at me for a while, and came close and said, "You are really beautiful AJ..". And I got overwhelmed and just stood there smiling stupidly.
And finally that feeling you get when you know that someone is happy because of you, because of the gift you made for them, because of that compliment you gave them, because of that stupid joke that made them laugh so hard....
That feeling...
It's priceless..
It's really something else..
