Magic Moments

Posted on 11 Jul 2010 under Random

The difference between a “fancy” restaurant and a “not-so-fancy” one is frequently not so much the quality of the food, but the quality of the ambience, atmosphere if you will. I remember in some marketing class some time back, the professor had told us that when we pay exorbitantly at 5-star hotels, we are paying not only for the renting a bedroom, but also for the quality of their service, etc.

What does this have to do with my post? I don’t know. The point I was trying to make is that as humans, and pretty much as animals of any kind, our surroundings tend to affect us a lot, and in humans, that manifests in the form of a mood.

It’s been a hot couple of days, but it rained in the evening, the temperature is nice and cool. I’ve turned on only the 8W CFL bulb instead of the tube-light, casting my room with a soft glow rather than brightening it up. There’s Scorpions’ “Wind of Change” playing. And it all just blends so perfectly to create that perfect mood that I want to share with someone, anyone, with people I know and maybe with some that I don’t. This moment here is magical and full of life, full of a special kind of feeling that should be felt rather than described or written about.

I had (have) a few chat windows open, with friends I’ve never met, people across the country and some across the globe. And here in this moment, when I feel connected to the world, I feel connected to you all. I feel like I love you without having ever met any of you. It’s an awesome feeling. Thank you. :)

    such a beautiful sentiment…. in so few words :( i know good things come in small packages but sometimes u want the entire deal which in this case is a longer article that allows the reader to stay in the magical evening for a while before he/she realizes he’s reached the comments section :)

    If I made it longer, I would have lost it and ended up rambling. :)

    That’s great my friend, I think I am not alone and I have had the same feelings, for people I have never met and I agree this is possible.
