It was a journey as usual by train, back to the silicon valley of India. It's a one night journey for me, infact for many onboard to reach their work location after spending the weekend with dear and near ones.
I woke up early in the morning(which is a very rare thing). By that time most of my fellow passengers were up and busy sorting out their luggage and stuffs, I cursed myself for not booking a train that would have reached a bit more late. While reaching out for my shoes below the lower birth, I saw a beautiful girl, nice sight to start a day with!!!. She was so beautiful that I quickly(but in a controlled way) got up, had a face wash and even put on my glasses to get a clear vision.
Strands of hair flying in the air, gentle smile on her face, her wheatish brown skin in the morning sun and the shades in her body formed by the moving train . I couldn't take my eyes of her, she was such a beauty!!! From there on artistic and the aesthetic senses took over. I wanted to make her my next subject, to be freezed in to my sketchbook. But somethings cannot be locked up, you have to set them free to enjoy the beauty (dear friend you'll not see her sketch here). I thought n number of reasons to get her attention, she was least interested :(. And was busy with her cellphone tapping as if there was bugs running in the screen, in fact she was composing some message. Why this girl is typing such a long message? why can't she just ring and speak up? whatever, in total she swept me away. Finally the destination reached, as my other hundreds of failed love at first sight, this girl also departed.
part II
(usually I don't drag this much for blog posts. Yes I know it really sucks but the situation here demands it, hence this part).
I hurriedly got in to a bus to reach my home at earliest, there were no window seats vacant as some lucky souls occupied them but I got a normal one(Yes, I do love the window seats). Gradually the bus got crowded, and to my surprise found that same old girl with her backpack, struggling to keep herself stable in an overcrowded bus. She managed to keep her bag below a seat and again started to tap her phone. Man! what is wrong with this girl? why is she doing this kind of stupid things?
The conductor was asking her for the destination point, she simply turned her phone and showed the text she made in it. God! I was frozen seeing that, she was a mute. The next 15mins of my journey, I was simply observing her with some unexplainable thoughts. She got down in a stop before mine and disappeared into the crowd, but she's still there in my memory...
sps.
