We are a big informal organization in existence worldwide. Our commonality is that we have no control over our sobbing and after every cry we feel so much relief like heaven itself. It renews us, motivates us into action and puts us at rest. Through crying we get connected back to the earth journey starting with birth. Thiruvalluvar Think crying is gender neutral. When tears stream from one’s soul it means that person is in love. It can be said nothing prevents spontaneous emotions. It’s always interesting seeing not only T20 winners but their lovers cry too; spouses, families, coaches and fans including even whole nations. Every tear drop represents love.
Impossible is nothing, It is also impossible to cry without the knowledge of love and vice versa. Love’s door has no lock. When a lover sheds tearsThe love in him will be known.
