Hugs are probably the deepest and the warmest form of intimacy one can have. A hug to an achiever, to a mourner, to a best friend, to a lover, to a looser, to a kid, to an oldie, to your bestie, to a birthday boy, to a fresh mother, to a newlywed, to a grieving widow, to welcome, to say bye and what not. Who doesn’t like it? I mean yes I can come up with "n" number of people who’d tell me that they hate it, but I really doubt it.
A hug can mean so many things. “I am always there for you”, “I got it from here buddy”, “ I love you like no other can”, “I will help you come out of it”, “you are great”, “all the best”, “sorry”, “hey long time I missed you”, “please save me the horror of saying out loud that I love you a lot, give me a hug instead “, “sorry for this fight and innumerous ones after this one ;)” and way more...
I mean sometimes the mere use of words feels to be so lame when you can communicate with your gestures. Like everyone, even I have my hug moments. Moments I can never forget, moments that fill me with nostalgia and a love so sincere that cannot be described. As some wise person had once put it, sometimes, a hug is all we need!
A hug by an elder with their hands perfectly circling you, making you feel protected, a hug by a child to his mom with his small arms not even able to reach her implying that his small arm size or for that matter nothing can stop him from loving her, a hug can define the most special moments of a person’s life.
I love it. So much so, that whenever I am low, I think of my most memorable hug moments and it sure shot helps, much more effective than any other drug in the whole world.
And hey it is just not me. There was a social campaign called the “free hugs campaign” which was hugging random street people which rather became huge by an Australian Juan Mann. Must read about it at“freehugscampaign.org” and people in our aamchi Mumbai also took the initiative to do it here :) hence i wanted to share these two videos..
I really cried out of the genuiness of the videos
Kudos Juan Mann
You see ..
When zindagi is khappi
The most effective is just one jaadu ki jhappi ;)
i nvr had such hug moments which i can remember ,,except one similar situation when once somebody sitting thr was so scared of something tht held my arms very tightly,, tht was when i gave a hug real dil se ,, otherwise i m nt a typical punjabi who will give 10 hugs everyday ,, but at some moments hugs can do magic :)

I remember it all too clearly :).These little things really give meaning to my life.Those genuine wishes, those tight hugs, those times with my loved ones,those sleepless nights with friends,all saved in my memories with no delete/flush buttons.It's for those times that i still am a little patient (for what u accused me of last night :P if u know what i am saying :P) ;)
