Love and Have a Ice Cream.

For some specific reason felt like revisiting this story. Hence doing so……

Today when I was waiting in the hospital for my tests, I saw a couple, both must be in their 80’s. Wife on stretcher, husband holding her hand and just talking. While talking, the wife was having a sudden burst of pain, but otherwise these two people just went on chatting. Curious as usual, I wondered what they are talking and how much they have to talk even after years of marriage, and also while in hospital with a condition like that. I went near to them and sat on the seat.

Well, it seems she was suffering from some disease which was not quite visible however her condition suggested that she was really ill. So with my curiosity, I started listening to them, wondering what is so important that it can’t wait. Is it that she (the wife) is fearing about the disease, is the husband trying to consol here wife…what it is.

Surprise, surprise….they were debating about the checklist of food items that the wife will be able to have with the medication and with the disease. Above all, in certain case or food items she was trying to convince her husband that it will be a ok to have certain “banned” (by the doctor) things sometime.

Well, they did not had anybody else with them. Both holding each other hands and watching in each others eye and talking about food checklist. Well sometime when people ask me what is love, its really hard for me to define. But today I can say that I saw a living definition of it.

The husband every now and then had tears in his eye and was trying to convince her wife that it is due to cold. But then wife tells him back that “main kithe nahin jandi” (I will not go anywhere) and then quickly coming back to the main topic “food checklist” with a question “Will you let me have an ice cream”?

I am sure my words will not be able to justify what I saw, a definition of love. I hope and wish that one day I may be able to give love a new definition, well may be not I am not the chosen one, but then hope and wish for it.

I am sure this post is nothing near to marketing or technology, but this is near to my heart.

So I really wish for health and happiness for the lady whom I saw, along with someone who is very near to my heart. I request the followers of this blog and if they can grant me a wish that I can use for someone who is very close to my heart. 

So Love and Have a Ice Cream!
