A touch…A look… A smile…That’s all it takes …!!

“Itna sannata kyun hai bhai” was the famous dialogue mouthed by Mr Hangal in Sholay ..But even in that heart-stopping silence, the blind man could sense something inauspicious has happened….Be it shown in a fiction or proven as a fact…Silence does speak..It speaks in an unspoken language which can only be felt & never be expressed in words..
Have you noticed:

 The silence shared by 2 lovers holding hands dreaming about a beautiful future together
 The unspoken trust in the eyes of a child walking for the 1st time towards his mom knowing she would never let him fall
 The protective hand of a father around his child when he is trying to ride a cycle for the 1st time
 The silent tears shed by 2 lovers biding final goodbye and choosing a path in opposite directions never to look back again
 The pride reflected in the eyes of proud parents over the achievement of their children
 The comforting hand kept on the head of the child by his parent when he hasn’t fared well in the academics, communicating to him silently the faith and expectations they have in him
 The admiration shining in the eyes of the hundreds of fans when they see their favorite idol in front of them
 The look of anticipation in the face of to-be dad waiting outside the labor room waiting for the news of wellbeing of his beloved and for the arrival of new treasure of love
 The ecstatic look in the eyes of 1st time parents when looking at their new bundle of joy for the 1st time
 The look of nervousness in the eyes of the guy who is about to propose or who is about to lose his single status
 The heart wrenching silence before the answer for the declaration of love
 The look of anxiety in the eyes of thousands or lakhs of watchers watching a nail biting finish of a cricket match
 The look of contentment in the eyes of the older generation when they see the family photograph remembering their long eventful journey through life.
 The flirtatious look passed between through strangers in a local transport
 The secret messages communicated between the eyes of a couple in a get-together
 A bear hug or a comforting hand on the shoulder at times of tragedy or trouble showing the unspoken support of our loved and cared ones around us
 Daily missed call from our loved ones letting us know we are always remembered and loved for who we are
 The hidden smiles shared by our friends over a secret joke which cannot be understood by an outsider
 Hands folded in front of the Almighty as an act of surrendering our soul in his presence
 The fluffy head of our pet on our lap as a comfort sensing our loneliness or sorrow or the furious wagging of tail or drooling of saliva all over our body as a sign of pleasure seeing us.
 Last but not the least …how can we forget the famous phenomena of LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! ;)

These and many more minute gestures are a part of our day to day activities but being so busy and lost in the commotion around us we hardly tend to notice them..So we many times forget to acknowledge the impact of this powerful language which is inbuilt in us.. Best example would be the classic film ‘Pushpak’ where in a silent film was able to reach the audience more than any film with lengthy dialogues and numerous songs could. A single gesture like this can express itself more than any words could..A language which is never taught to us but understood by all who may be 2-legged or four…So why not appreciate it a bit more ..Its high time we did…

A touch… A look… A smile… That’s all it takes to win a Heart 

Love..
