#02 - Second Cup

"Little things make big difference". A usual proverb, that we have heard many times, said many times, felt lot of times and have forgot lot of times too.Read the sentence again, "LITTLE things make BIG difference".The words are opposite to each other but when they come together, they create a meaning that is so perfectly true. Do we really care about little things? Well I care about it only when someone doesn't care about little things for me. And I guess there are so many "I" like me.The things are really little to be taken care, but yet we forget to do so. Is it because, they are so little that we actually can't see them? If they are really that little then, they doesn't matter right? But why do they create such a big difference? Why ? The question I asked many times Why?


I have a friend, who sends me texts all day and night. It starts with "Good Morning" and it goes on like, Have you brushed your teeth? Had breakfast? Did you bathe? . Every two minutes once my mobile beeps on with the texts from that friend. Earlier times I actually replied for every text message, but then I started to feel really irritated. I could not tell frankly, so I started to reply with single word and sometimes no reply at all. I thought, this texting habit of my friend would eventually stop. But it never stopped, I fed up and started to ignore it totally. One day I never got any texts, I was surprised, not even a single one. But instead of feeling happy, I felt kind of worried actually. I was thinking my friend next day, I called, and when my friend picked up
"Hello"
"Hey Rithi"
"Yesterday was a busy day huh?"
"No yaar, I was just chillin with my friends"
"Oh"
"Are You Okay?"
"I am doing good"
"Oh god, Sorry Rithi I couldn't text you, My mobile was at service"
"No problem pal. I gotta go now. Catch you later"
When I kept the call I found that I actually missed my friend whole day. It was just a little thing, just text messages, that too simple one to reply. But I did not look it that way. But when the text message was absent, I got disturbed. I found that I should not ask the question of why now but how. And I found my answer to the how. The little things can change the perception and that can change the whole way of looking anything. It's okay if we can't do little things, but do notice them when it is done for you.Let us ask how but not why.
What is the use of holding a very big love inside you, when you can't able to see the small kisses planted on the way?
Think with a cup of coffee and take a sip of it.

#07 - Cup We had a electrical maintenance in our colony,  unfortunately it was between evening 3 to 6 , or should I say fortunate because it happened during Sunday and almost everyone was out and having tea together. It was like back to my school days times, we used to play in streets with the neighbourhood kids and our mothers would be sitting on the verandas , gossiping something. It was almost nearly same scenario. I was sitting near the staircase, coffee mug in one hand, mobile at the other, reading texts also screening the people simultaneously. I did not see my lawyer friend, has he started again to lock himself in the room again my mind was running with so much questions. Suddenly, a ball rolled down from the terrace to me, and the next door kid came down behind it. He asked me  "Akka give me the ball". I replied him  "Only if you join me in your game"  He became confused and said "Only captain can decide that"  and he pointed his hands towa...

#08 Cup

Sun did not rise. Yet she woke up and wondered why did the morning come so fast, why do I have to start so early the day, she rushed to check the mobile, unlocking the phone by swiping the pattern,  she left a sigh,. Her mind was telling, "No messages no missed calls; everybody is fine in home" Yet the mind did not calm down neither did the heart. "Why is this happening always?"  wondered her mind, and she starred the sky through the window. It is not still morning, not in Mexico. Stars shone, the sky was dark, but it is 5 in the morning. "How much difference can time make? I am having a dark night sky while it is morning and mother in India would have a bright late afternoon sky" her thoughts just went after looking at the sky. She rolled over to get back to sleep, but the heart and mind wouldn't let her. She has never had this feel for a long time. The thumping sound in the heart made her to feel scared. And the thoughts were rushing lik...

#09 Cup

Possessive.  I chose this word, also gave a good amount of time on my decision. The person behind this word will remain a mystery. Although, one can guess it from my article, if you have a keen eye for detail.  Were you possessive at any point in your life? I was, but not if it could kill somebody. I think everybody opened that door at least once and gave an excuse to our behaviour, justified the action with the word love. Love has nothing to do with possessiveness or vice versa. They define it in Oxford, as, demanding someone’s total attention or love, while Wikipedia gives a specific meaning to withhold my perception, i.e., strict ownership. Strict Ownership, the term points to a person’s dominant behaviour. Possessiveness is the word chosen by this dominant predators to wear as blanket since it says, “in too much of love”. I agree, because too much of anything could kill you, and so does possessiveness kills the “love”. It all starts with good intention...
