Relief !!!

Relief when we feel the cool air of our homes along with the soft ticking of the ceiling fan after we have escaped from the scorching sun.... relief when we finally get our exam results after the excruciatingly long wait and find out that we didn't do that badly after all.... relief when we ultimately make it for an interview after a particularly late morning and series of traffic jams.... whooffff !!!

Relief as a feeling is so very under-rated... you may feel sad or happy, angry or mischievous, frightened or embarassed... but people seldom say "I am relieved".... we might be using some manifestations of the word though, I cannot seem to think of any at the moment :)

What is relief by the way.... the feeling of the unbearable knot in your stomach dissolving instantly or your taut facial expressions loosening almost like at will or you not feeling like all arms and legs.... May be relief is the feeling of knowing that everyone around you is safe and sound.... that you are together to face any uncertainities of life...
