Big hug

Recently I read an article in the news paper which presented the view point of a woman who needed a hug. Hug or an embrace may appear so insignificant but its value can not be undermined. It is an expression of love.. giving love or receiving in reciprocation. It is the feeling of security which silently says we care.
As a child we hugged our parents whatever be the emotion. We hug our friends to share a warm greeting, we hug our pets who understand our affection. We also hug ourselves to escape the cold. Hug is the warmth we all need to be alive... Hug is the primary stage of expressing affection which is most often followed by a kiss. Kiss is having one's heart in his/her mouth.. literally.... We kiss all that we love only the degree of intensity varies with the relationship.

However, in this world that is love-thirsty, there are people obsessed with "I-me-myself" for whom hug or a kiss doesnot come naturally. They expect people around them to be at their service and keep them in good humour. They will give you food and shelter, nothing beyond that, and expect you to remain ever-grateful for maintaining you and you will have to continue to render your services on a happy note, whether you are really happy, is not a matter of their concern... You give them a hug, hope they will realise its worth.. but it fails to make a dent. Slowly a thorny bush grows like a barrier and a hug remains a far fetched dream..
