Today something really amazing happened...
I was at my neighbourhood chip shop waiting for my food when I saw this sign advertising fresh milkshakes. I decided, on an impulse, to go and get a chocolate milkshake.
As I was waiting at the counter for the shake I saw a small baby girl (could make out from the colour of her clothes) lying in a pram. After a quick glance I went back to waiting for the shake. As I started looking around I noticed that she was looking at me. No wait. Not just looking but staring at me. As I started back with a stupid smile on my face (I am never really sure what to do when facing a baby) she slowly started to smile. It was like watching a flower bloom.
She game me the most amazing smile I have ever seen. Her eyes seemed so gentle. It was as if she was saying 'I know you!'
And whenever I would look back and smile she would again give me that same slow smile.
I guess anyone who has experienced something like this before (or experience it regularly) will know what I am talking about. It was the first experience of this kind that I have had.
I am usually not a morning person. So getting up is difficult for me! :D I love my sleep and my BED!
Therefore I started thinking what are the different kinds of mornings that one can have (in my experience).
1) Scratchy Lazy Morning: These are the kind of mornings when you are content to just sit in your bed (after waking up) and scratch yourself all over the place (like an ape) for the whole day if necessary. Such mornings usually happen over the weekend or after a very good nights sleep. It takes a while for your brain to kick into action.
2) Groaning Morning: Mornings that you wake up with a painful groan. The kind of groan which, as a kid, would have compelled your mother to check you for fever or ask you if you have a stomach ache. These mornings happen when you don't really want to wake up (usually during a working week!) or after a night of heavy drinking. On days like these you just want the world to leave you alone!
3) Screaming Morning: Mornings that you wake up screaming because you have a big day ahead, you slept for just 2 hours last night, your head is fuzzy, you feel like shit and you feel as confident as an earthworm.
4) Master Chief Morning: These are the mornings you feel full of confidence. You feel like you can cut through a million strong army of aliens (like in Halo) all on your own. You LEAP out of bed and go charging out into the world like a one man army!
5) In-bed Morning: This kind of morning is spent in bed (in an awake state) doing stuff. This is only possible if your desk and PC are right next to your bed and you have nothing major planned for the day (which includes everything that requires getting out of bed). These morning are quite common in winters especially when the room is as cold as a crypt and you are snug-as-a-bug in your bed. Such morning only end around 4-5pm when the sun sets and you start feeling hungry!
6) Nuclear Bomb Morning: These are the morning when your cell phone goes off next to your ear like a nuclear bomb, waking you from that amazing dream. Depending on the person who called, either you want them to call you like this every day (so that you can wake up with a smile!) or you pray to God that next time you will have enough sense to keep your cell on silent mode (no vibrations also!) before you sleep!
