The sand people

Always amazed at how there are these few people in life who are just there, effortlessly but willingly. With no compulsions and obligations. They are always quietly present on the whatsapp contact list, facebook feed, gtalk, a few emails in the inbox, wrapped in memories and stored in photographs, sometimes even encrypted in certain words, sometimes as rhythm of that song, sometimes as a doodle in a greeting card, sometimes as names scribbled on the last pages.

With them, it is not about the quantity of hours but quality. It is not about quantity of conversation but quality. Sometimes I find myself greedy for more of this quality time and conversation with them. It is exhilarating! Soon I wish having it always. And at times I know I try too hard. The rationale always is 'who knows. It might work' but it does not.

It is like that sand in palm story. Not everything precious needs to be protected. Sometimes its beauty lies in just letting it be. Just hearing those songs, looking at those pictures, re-reading those emails,smiling at the names :)
