GESTURES THAT TOUCH THE HEART...

GESTURES THAT TOUCH THE HEART...

                                                        The sign of a true gentleman.

“Wow feeling” is what I feel one has to be privileged in order to experience.

      As the Marathi saying goes.. “Aplya war Prem karnara Manus bhetayala Bhagya lagta”... It's so very true, I am sooo Thankful to God, for having given me the opportunity to experience the “Wow feeling” through one of my beloved friends..

      Though I had only a few chances to be with Him, I feel privileged to have had those few! In such a short while He's made such an impact, that I now realize spending a life time with him must be sooo awesome, He is really a true gentleman he has proved!!

To tell some of my cherished experiences of the “Wow feeling” here I go...

· Opening the door of the car...

When we were supposed to go on a trip, via a hired vehicle, He made me feel special by opening the door and telling me to get in 1^st!! :)

· Offering a hand to help when seated...

There were many times when I got late and He was already seated in the vehicle...and to my surprise, when I opened the door, He offered His hand to help me sit... :)  This was another special feeling...

· Walking on the traffic side of the road...

     

Almost all the times that we walked in different places, Bombay, Belgaum, Kolhapur, Udapi, He always showed this gesture.. As we know on the road there are two sides, one side is facing the traffic, another non-traffic side, so whenever we walked together, by default I used to be on the traffic side, and He gently put me on the non-traffic side, and Himself walked on the traffic side, now that was a “super wow feeling”!! :)

·  Opening the door of the shop...

While on one of our trips, we did visit a few stores which had transparent push/pull doors, So He always made it a point to open them for me, saying “You go in 1st”... Another gesture making me feel special... :)

· Excusing before leaving...

When we two had been to shop, he wanted to get down while I had to be seated in the car till He returns, At that time, He got down, I expected Him to go directly and finish His tasks and come back, But to my pleasant surprise He came to the window seat where I was seated, and said “I'll be back soon, be there...” OMG, now that was sooo sweet of Him to say, making me feel special one more time... :)

· Cutting the call and calling back...

This He's being doing from the time I know Him... 1^st of all He was the only one to keep in touch via calls from overseas... And in recent days, whenever he came, He had a Maharashtra sim as his home town is Bombay, which meant He was on roaming in Belgaum, Udapi, Karnataka..., so whenever I called Him from these places, He used to cut the call and call back and on asking why He didn't pick when I called, He said, “any way roaming is getting charged for me, then why should you also pay?? ” and on my further argument on the topic He would ask me, “Is Incoming charging for You?? ”But when in Local also, where there are no roaming charges, when I used to call, He never picks, He cuts it and calls back... Basic intention that I must not be charged!! J

· When my hair flew due to the opening of the window in the vehicle, He closed it for my convenience...

Now how sweet can that be, He opened the window for some fresh air and then it so happened that breeze was sooo much that my hair started flying with the breeze, and I was trying hard to prevent them from entangling and flying, soon He noticed that and by Himself closed the window, without me having to tell, like he read my mind... I was once again surprised! How can a person get so so sweet! Another wow feeling... J

· Offering handkerchief when I could not fetch mine soon...

It once so happened that after eating “paan”, some of it touched my palm, as gulkhand paan is sweet, my hand became sticky with the sugar content of it, and I tried to fetch my handkerchief which was in my pocket... But was unable to fetch it soon as I had to be careful it didn’t touch elsewhere while I tried to take it out, so then looking at my unsuccessful try, He offered me His... aha... that was another wow feeling...  J

Frankly speaking, I have seen such gestures only when I watched movies, read novels, In T.V. serials, but but He gave me a chance to encounter them all and genuinely have a lovely experience of them all...!

On experiencing soo many sweet gestures from my beloved friend, I once asked him, “Do you read novels??” his reply was “no”... Then the inquisitive me asked Him, “Then who taught you all these??”, and to this He replied “LOVE”...and I had no words... J
