'All for this one moment'

This is the caption used in the adv of Lufthanza airways .. I was idly passing time in the guest house at HRI, Allahabad, (where I came three days back for attending a school) after dinner .. in the newspaper area .. all on a sudden I came across this adv. in one of the local mags. The adv portrays a young woman hugging a boy .. she is looking delighted .. and the ad reads over the picture .. from anywehere in world to anywhere .. we fly .. all for this one moment.

I was thinking .. such a truth is being depicted so simply in an advertisement. Boy returing home from boarding/hostel/abroad .. hides his face in the tight hug of his mother .. all for this one moment .. that we queue in the railway counters, airlines agencies .. in the bus staions .. with so much anxiety of being wait-listed in getting the ticket.. and the parents start counting dates in the calender .. they make up their minds .. prepare themselves to welcome their child ..

Not onle this .. a wife waiting for her husband .. a man waiting for his fiancee .. every wait has this soul motivation .. to see the dear ones .. to greet them .. to have one among others .. this wait gives rise to so many dreams .. so many poems/stories have been authored .. songs written .. music composed in saxophone .. all for this one moment.. and after that everything again goes back to routine .. world goes in its own pace .. seasons change .. but this little moments get preserved in the hearts .. silently ..

and I liked the ad so much .. all for this one moment!

A wonderful post Suvadeep. All these small things make our lives. "Chupke se sun, is pal ki dhun...Is pal mein jeevan saara..."

BTW, this also reminds me of one of my comments which I made in the cab after watching THE first show of Veer-Zaara. Do you recall?
