MoMeNtS...the silent memorandum

Moments, not for capturing but for remembering, for propagating.............
Moments, that you witness once in a lifetime...moments which on sharing touches your heart and hits a music of its own your chords....
Yes, they can be emotional, sweet or sour.....
But what I am going to narrate is the sweetest moment of someone's life....
A moment which neither she would forget nor her mother.
Its about a four year old girl. Her mother was doing B.A. from some college and so was unable to look after her, as her father used to work for the whole day....so she kept her daughter at her mama's house. For one whole month the girl lived there. She did as directed, didn't disturb anyone, nor did she ask anyone why was she left here, or questioned about her parents. Yes, the girl never smiled nor laughed....she was in kg1 and used to go to school with her cousins in a rickshaw and come back with them. One day when she got down from her rickshaw and turned to her house, she started laughing like some mad person.....laughed, laughed, laughed and laughed for minutes non-stop. She brought her hands to her mouth, but was still laughing; sat down at the place where she was standing, in middle of the road. Everyone that was passing by stopped to see what had happened. The girl seemed to loose her control. Why was she laughing so much???
Well, she had seen her mother standing at the door. The mother almost in tears, couldn't control her. Her voice had choked. She was even unable to call out the name of her daughter, her legs seemed to have frozen. But she almost ran to her daughter and hugged her the tightest she could.

Was this a very big incident??? No, it may not be the most fascinating thing you would read but it was the most precious moment that the mother and the girl shared together, something they would never ever forget, something that they would cherish forever.....
Its very rare that you find such moments......So relish them if you find one...
