This is such a beautiful topic Tally Ho! 👏
I cry when...
1. I remember India and I miss my parents like a girl going to pre-school for the first time.
2. I don't get good grades.
3. Certain movies definitely make me cry. I remember watching Kal Ho Na Ho with my cousin and silent tears rolled down my cheeks while seeing SRK die and my cousin is just looking at me, totally aghast. I cried when Wahida Rehman cried seeing Madhvan die in RDB. I cry everytime I see Kajol running to her son in K3G after Jana Gana Mana just like you all mentioned. I cry a lot of times in Swades. Even Chak De's ending had me crying in happiness owing to patriotism. I weeped a bit for Harilal too in Gandhi, My Father. When he died, I was really moist-eyed and did not know how to leave the movie hall. Then, there was a movie called Meri Jung, with Anil Kapoor and Nutan as his mother. I watched this movie when I was little, and I have cried innumerable times everytime I watched that movie.
4. Every time I hear about my friends in India enjoying, or going out even for movie or dinner together, I cry like an idiot burning in jealousy 😒and I feel totally left out and I wish to fly back to India just to be a part of the fun.
5. Thinking about missing the 6th Diwali in a row makes me cry.😭
6. Everytime my brother has an exam or he is participating in some competition, I feel very upset because I always wanted him to be able to use the material I did 7 years ago. I fear that since I went away from him when he was only 8, he might lose the bond with me. Just writing this is making me all teary-eyed right now. 😔
7. When I am arguing with my best friend/someone close, I start crying in the midle making a fool out of myself.
8. When I am talking to my mom on the phone, sometimes I just want to jump through the phone and give her one tight hug. Not being able to do that makes me cry like crazy once I hang up the phone. 😭
9. When I hear my parents having some family problems, I feel helpless for not being near my mom since she has neither her mom nor her daughter around her. I cry even if she has a minor backache thinking that I am totally useless since I am sitting miles away.
10. Injustice, gruesome deaths of children for no fault of their own, people laughing at people behind their backs, forgetting to wish someone on his/her birthday (especially if that person remembered mine, that makes me feel very guilty), being proved wrong in some argument -- All these things make me drop a silent tear once in a while. 😳
Again, this is a great topic and I got a little carried away here... but crying definitely could be a great gift. 😊
