The Barfi Moments!

   

     In our day-to-day hurry-worry life, we often miss the smallest emotional taps,  the “barfi moments” These spur-of-the-moment joys are light, they melt quickly, but their sweetness lingers, just like the taste of a small square of barfi. 

A barfi moment could be as simple as exchanging a glance and a smile at work, acknowledging each other’s presence, or sharing food that a colleague loves. It could be expressing a thoughtful view over tea, noticing the stress lines on someone’s face, or recognising the quiet weight of a low mood. It might be understanding that rules can always be remade, but the fragile state of the mind needs gentle care. Sometimes it is nothing more than a kind word, a compliment, or a line of credit for work done well.

The smaller the gesture, the lighter the mode, and the sweeter the barfi. Often underestimated and dismissed as empty highs, these little sparks are in fact what soothe us, just like a spray of joy across the day. Aren’t they like small, colorful butterflies fluttering around us on a sunny day with a clear sky above?

They actually make up our days. And isn’t life, after all, about the present moment we live? These barfi moments aren’t sold anywhere. They ask only for a little extra mindfulness  to notice, to tap, and to breathe them in.
