Do you love yourself?
Someone asked Mimmi
Yes, I love myself Said Mimmi.
But how?
When I see the warm sunlit amidst the exhausting summer morning I feel happy.
When I see the twinkling stars of the night after a stressful day, I feel happy.
When I see the garden is in full bloom with marigold lilies and whatnot. I feel happy.
When I go to Uncle Tom’s chip shop to eat his crunchy delight, I know what I like and what I don’t.
Oh yes!
I like the karela one.
Mimmi answered in full flow in a hurry.
And said in a slow voice
With a ponder
And these things had special implications when I found someone who values these. Who finds happiness when I smile and drive the extra mile after a tiring day at the office to buy a karela chips packet and when he doesn’t find one buys a pani puri packet because mimmi finds pani puri tasty.
Mimmi got married and that person is none other than her husband and now she knows their materialistic world cannot prove how much they love each other.
And that love which even the family knows that they are inseparable from each other.
But only they know they are lucky they found to love most unexpectedly and they knew together they can do anything just like the big bear and tiny Dragon.
Mimmi smiled with tears at the corner of her eyes as she remembered her experience with love.
