Positive think of the day

There are two members in IL who greatly puzzle me. They are sachitananda and Viswamitra. I've observed that Swots and Viswa gently lend their hand to otherwise orphaned posts. How do they do it ? Unobtrusive yet fond gesture of clicking on "like". When I see them exhibiting this soft i-do-care gesture it reminds me of Ben E King's Stand by me or Bill Wethers Lean on me. How can a token be so magnanimous?

When Klingy and I chat, he abruptly sends embarrased/shy emoji in whatsapp.
I could not decipher in the beginning what that oopsie blush was all about. Later he explained that pudgy emoji was capable of transmitting all unsaid emotions. That emoji is analogous to all-purpose F-word to bundle competing emotions and sentiments in the form of demure and blushing countenance. I don't know what or how to express but that should be prevent me from conveying how I feel.

What is a "like" in IL? I read it, I like it, I favour it, I don't know what to say, so, you go figure. Nevertheless there's immediate connect established through that singular and reductive act by foregrounding awareness of someone who felt something on reading your post and want to display mild emotion stirred. A lot of "likes" are perfunctory but when I see Viswa and Satchi giving a "like" to a desolate post, I hear Benny and Billy humming in the background in that clickety act.

To moot, a freakish kindergartener sends a emoji with a smile that stretches till eyebrows, it shoots my positometer to new heights.

 

@Cimorene,

The word puzzle in your first sentence puzzled me a little bit. I read the whole response carefully more than once to make sure I understood it correctly as appreciation.

There isn't a day pass by without me admiring you. How can a person who has such depth of knowledge and such command over the language yet be so humble? How can she watch simple gestures of an ordinary being and take time to highlight it in such an eloquent way?

In my dictionary, like without any further comment means, "content understood and appreciated with no further value to add".

Positive

A person of great reputation who attracts attention to her foot prints wherever and whenever she posts anything, appreciating an ordinary being's action (i.e. Viswa's and not Satchi's who is another extraordinary being) as extraordinary gesture.

day 44: had a nice chat chat with colleague....and thank god the the first think in morning . made my stand that i like to be silent in cab during traveling or reading. cant talk wnt talk.

 

When Klingy and I step out, I usually carry a handbag the size of a duffel bag that he reckons I can fit into. I'm dense with misplaced self-reliant pride that I don't let him carry my shopping bags. So there's a hangbag the size of army kitbag with other slippery accessories. Moreover these shopping bags are loudly effeminate with pink and neon colors....errh! Cannot they have grey with no schmaltzy motifs when you shop giggly hairclips, eh?

He probes, "Are you okay? Do you want me to help you"?
I bristle. "Can carry boatloads of such weightlessness" (while my feet are hurting, my shoulder is snapped, and a spine hunched like a cantilever.)

He shrugs a flippant huho.

Need a Plan! Swollen pride, cannot flip and say, "I'd love you to carry". One day while watching telly, I text him, "Bab, it is okay for you to carry shopping bags, in few places they do it all the time. Silly me!" He sniffs me like a seasoned hound, "Well they hardly weigh on you right. You swing them like features in zero-gravity. How emasculating if I were lend a finger! My Lady Love will feel uneasy".

"No, no, it is a cultural thingy, customary"

I send him a picture




Positive thought: Never let your pride take over your common sense. If a man offers to carry your bags, dump everything on me, jump on him and bid to carry you home. Now if you excuse me, need to discover a place where girlfriends who wobble in 6-inch squeaky heels are given a piggy-ride home.
