A hug says it all




I was watching IPL, Royal Challengers Banglore (RCB) v/s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Kolkata batted well setting a good target against RCB. Chris Gayle started the innings and started showering the ground with runs. It was sure that RCB is going to win. The game reached a interesting turn when only only 2 runs was required to win and also 2 runs was needed for Gayle to score his century. Unfortunately Gayle was at the non strikers end. Me and my mom were discussing how Gayle is going to get his century. After an over of drama Gayle comes on strike with a run to win the match. The bowler bowls the ball and Gayle hits a four to get his century and also winning the game for RCB. We all were happy. We saw Gayle happy. Virat Kohli went and hugged Gayle to appreciate his batting. At that time, suddenly the waves of my brain started waving, giving me a thought.

I was thinking, people speak different languages, people follow different cultures, people are different. But, just imagine there is one thing which is similar everywhere. The way to express your love to others. A simple physical gesture called a hug. One universal way to express your feelings to others. Isn't that amazing to know how people from different places have one common practise of expressing yourself to your loved ones. Guess that's why we are considered supreme than all other biological species.

Must be wondering what am I trying to say. Well, one little thing, there is racism everywhere, people hate each other. And let me tell you my friend, there are different ways of showing your hatred. That may vary from one clan to another. But, there is only one universal way to express your love, A simple hug. No subtitles required, no knowledge needed. Just a simple hug is enough to say it all.

Thank you for your time!
