A few good words :)

This blog is more of a 'thank u' note,than just expression of thoughts and feelings.
Today I am a lot because of the few good words that people around me spoke.A few good words,is all it takes,to make someone's life. Believe me,it's true.
When I was a kid,about 3 years old. I used to sing all the usual songs kids would sing,Rhymes and some music I used to hear on tv. But the people around me felt that I sang exceptionally well and they said so,to my parents and to me too. Those few good words that they spoke that day,is the important reason,why I am a successful singer today.
When I learnt and wrote my first alphabets,my teacher took time to tell me,individually,that I was quick,a fast learner. I still do not know,till today whether she said that to all the kids . But I am glad,she told me,coz she made me feel good and proud of myself that day. I learnt to expect more and more from myself,and got better,every time.
When I was asked to teach music at a small orphanage when I was about 14 years old,I did that gladly. The lady in charge of the orphanage,took time,amongst all her responsibilities to tell me she was glad for my help and thanked me for all the patience and care. I do not remember your name aunty,sorry,but I thank u,coz my heart still cares and beats the same way,it used to,that day.Because today,I know it matters,I know it mattered that day to u.
To the kid,Manjula,in the orphanage,a wonderful listener and a learner,a few words. 'I don't know where you are today. I later learnt that you got adopted by a good family. I am glad for you,and I hope you're happy.You must be in high school by now.But,I want to tell u,that the interest you showed in my singing,and the look of admiration in your eyes,did wonders to my self-confidence,that day.'
And referring to my previous blog,i have now lost totally around 14 kilos. I am happy and thankful. A few good words by the precious gems around me is the reason why I feel so good today. Thanks again,Pavan,for every word you have ever said to me. and Malloo,you are an exceptional friend. I have no words to tell u how much u matter to me,actually. Every word u ever said,every good thing u ever said about me,will stay fresh in my heart,forever. I am a lot due to you,your selfless words.
And also thanks to all the people around me who are playing a key role,in restoring my faith in 'magic'. ;)
This is not just about me.Take time to think what I am actually talking about. A few good words. Next time,You feel like giving someone a compliment,just go and do it. A few good words,never hurt. The face that lights up with the smile,after hearing the compliment that you give him/her,will make everything worth it. By saying a few good words,You might just make someone's day.
