The First Time ...

Back in the days when people did not know that there was such a thing called a hug, did they ever realise the magic of touch , accompanied by a touch of magic? History tells us that when the first man discovered that his food tasted better when fire touched it, he broke into a small jig of sorts. Maybe that was happiness calling out to him. Did he ever register that?

Imagine the first person who broke something because he was angry. Think about the first person who wrote down his feelings because he did not know what was messing up his head. When he kept his pen down and exhaled -- that must have felt good!

Imagine the first two people who fell in love -- When they didn't really understand what was happening to them ; when they thought that the butterflies in their stomach was actually because of a bad meal they had or when they broke into silly smiles and thought that was highly unusual -- would they know their hearts would break too?

Imagine the first guy who experienced a heartbreak. Do you think he felt the same physical pain that you and I have felt sometime or the other? When a small drop of water peeped out from his eyes and his vision blurred -- did he worry he was probably losing his eyesight because he lost the person he loved the most? Do you think he felt the urge to cry unless there were no tears left in him to give it to the one who gave it to him in the first place? Do you think he still could not understand why he always felt that someone was kicking him hard in his guts all the time?
