Drenchers & Soakers

Have you ever consciously noticed how people you meet in your day-in-day-out life effect you? Without them even saying a word, you connect/inconnect to them.

Have you noticed, when you meet certain people, you immediately like them..instantly feel good...find an easy camaraderie in their company.

Likewise when you meet some other people, something immediately puts you off them, you get a distinctly uncomfortable run down feeling?

I'm sure we all do feel that.
I trust people give out vibes about the kind of individuals they are, & depending upon the matching of these vibes with the DNA of our beliefs, we relate to them accordingly.

Broadly, this can be classified into two main categories.

Drenchers & Soakers.

Drenchers are the people whose presence, whose company makes you feel happy, alive & enriched. You pick up good things from them. They are people with positive encouraging attitudes. Even on their bad days, one still does not feel the rubbing off of negativity from them. Such do they powerfully weave themselves with their constructive character.
They Drench you with comfort & happiness, hence the term Drenchers.

On the other hand,

They are some people who, the moment you meet them, you feel sapped. They seem to drain the energy from you. It could be by the way they even just look at you, to the way they butt into your personal life, asking uncomfortable questions... or by filling you with unnecessary tales of others lives..or again by simply being the discouraging whining types. Rarely anything meaningful comes out of a meeting with them.
They Soak you of all your energies & hence I call them the Soakers.

Whereas the Drenchers always prod you on, the Soakers always pull you down.

Everybody has their share of Drenchers & Soakers in their lives..& goes without saying who is the preferred lot from these two.

When life's happy, Drenchers always double up the joy..& when life's down & queasy too, they're the ones who help you pull up fast.

Either ways, they're the ones one should surround oneself with.

On that note, here's a big bow of acknowledgement to all the fine Drenchers of my life.... Thank you for being there. :)
