अपनों का साथ : You Make Me Smile

At first I thought it would be an easy one but it is actually a toilsome task to pick one person who can light me up in the darkest of times. It is arduous because if I have to make a list, I may run out of time but not names. But I would love to pay my tribute to each one of these lovely people who holds a special place in my heart. 

कहते हैं अच्छे दोस्त यूँ ही नही मिला करते ,

के उसने ये दामन कुछ इस तरह सजाया है ;

के हर मोड़ पर मिले नायाब लोग ,

और हर एक में वो ख़ुद  ही समाया है ;

कभी थामे ये लड़खड़ाते हाथ ,

तो कभी ग़म में भी हंसाया है ;

दिन हो चाहे या हो अंधेरी रात,

इनकी मुस्कान ने हर पल साथ निभाया है ||

• The love of my life and my soulmate, the lady with a beautiful smile: my beloved wife would definitely be the one person whose smile can cheer me up anytime. 

• My strength, my zeal, the best mother in the world - my mom. All I have is her memories but a glimpse of her smile pumps me up even today. 

• My inspiration, my catalyst, the ideal man and a role model – my father. He smiles less often but that just adds even more flair to it. 

• The sweet, the chirpy, the pranksters and the rainbow of my life...my sisters.

• The crazy and funny bubbles of laughter...my kids...all my niece and nephew.

• The coolest buddies, partners in all my crimes, the ones who always stand by me, the stupid and the wise...my best buddies. The roughest of times don’t stand a chance against their smile.

 

• The most of all, the fact that I have so many people who will do anything to make me smile in tough times’ actually puts a teary smile on my face. Hope they stick with me forever.

The one's I failed to mention also come shining as the saviors of my smile sometimes.
