Sometimes very small gestures make huge differences!
5 minutes ago I got a phone call from a friend of mine, Rehan, who lives just a building away from me.
Yes, we live on the same campus, just different buildings.
The call was absolutely random but it made me smile. He called me because he read a comment from LOTR and he said he thought about me (well, we had been discussing Sam and Frodo's friendship in the movie earlier)
In our times, where whatsapp is the most convenient way of communication with each other, a small phone call like this gave me immense happiness. The tiny effort made a huge difference and we just ended up talking for the next 20 minutes.
Who would have thought... we don't get that much time in the day to spend together because of our different schedules and different friend circles. But hey! No excuses!
These 20 minutes just happen to be the highlight of my otherwise low day. A quick chat about what's happening in our lives... my longing to go home, his longing to just escape everything and watch a movie instead, my countdown, LOTR, Pokemon, drama and a song he made me listen to.
These may seem the most random things ever to an outsider but these small little things made a difference. A difference enough to bring a huge smile on my face...
I was overwhelmed at a phone call like this, but have I been doing this with my friends too? Have I been making an effort, however small, to make sure my friends know that I am thinking about them?
Well not really.. how will they know that I miss them until I don't tell them I do. How would I have known Rehan thought about me when he read that comment if he hadn't called?
I guess these are the small things that make the huge impact and let our loved ones know that we care for them and we think about them often!
Thanks Rehan :D
