We have grown up reading fairy tales since childhood. For girls it was the Cinderella , Peterpan, The little mermaid and the guys loved Superman , He-man, Batman etc .We used to be so fascinated with these fictitious characters that we just couldn’t have enough of it . We would watch them in form of cartoons were there used to be these whole host of shows dedicated around these Super heroes varying from Captain Planet, Chota Bheem, Power Puff girls, Shaktiman etc .Plus there were also stationary, T-shirts , Toys around their theme. We would love to Dress like them in fancy dress competition - girls in the beautiful Cinderella Gown and the guys with the underwear on top of their pants in case of Superman costume.
We loved them.They were our heroes. Any act of theirs would inspire us to do the same. I have seen my cousin stand on top of the bed and scream Im Shaktiman ! We believed in Magic . We believed in Santa Claus irrespective of our religion. We believed that If we eat spinach we could Punch like Popeye. We believed in fairy god mother who would do anything we wish for. From punishing the neighborhood bully chotu , Passing us in the badly performed Maths paper and also get the toy which we spotted last night.
We believed in Miracles. We believed Angels exist.
But what happened to all our beliefs as we grew up?
We stopped believing them .We realised that miracles happen only in books or movies and not in real life . Eating spinach can’t make you punch like Popeye in fact you will break your hand if you try such stunts. It’s your parents who place the gifts below the Christmas tree and not Santa. And no one comes to your rescue all the time , you have to learn to battle it on your own.
But what we failed miserably is to pick up those subtle hints of the angels around us.
We dint realize that angels still exist.
They may be in the form of your friend , your lover , your sibling , your favorite uncle or even your cute little pet they make you feel special.
They will be willing to go that extra mile just to see a smile on your face.
They will watch that annoying chick flick movie with you just because U like it. Or go at 11 in the night and buy DBC (Death by chocolate) just because you are craving for it. They will wake you up in the morning before mom starts scolding why you are sleeping late or wait till you come home and lick and jump all over you in case of a Pet . They might take you out partying just so that you get over the breakup or gift the Calvin Klein jacket which you fell in love with in shopper stop.
And I am saying this because I know one such angel in my life too.He is a sweetheart . He can just understand why I am upset without me explaining things. He willingly sacrifices the chicken leg piece just because this glutton likes it. Listens patiently to the hours and hours of nonsense. Never says a word even though I give a huge sermon every single day on why he should give his Bullet off. Doesn’t mind driving down 450 KM one way just because this idiot had not got ticket in the last minute. (Read my 2 blog- Travel ) He makes me feel special.
He made me believe Angels exist.
He is my Best friend , my chaddi dost.
There are angels. They are amongst us .If we look around carefully we shall find so many of them .
And Become one too..
Note to my Angel: "If people dont believe in Angels ,
Probably they haven't met you :) "
Regards
Hellz angel ;)

ReplyDeleteFirstly, Hell's angel- I think it was about time you thanked this angel...
ReplyDeleteSecondly, Mr Angel- is there like a female version of you that i could get in touch with? ;)..
Overall, a nice piece of writing.. I believe we all need to thank our friends genuinely, atleast once in a while.. They make it so much more happier and worthwhile for us to exist in this mean world...
Cheers!!
