Who forces time is pushed back by time; who yields to time finds time on his side. ~The Talmud
I saw her from the bus window. I had just walked in front of her, without any expression at seeing her. The bus was to leave in five minutes. I guess, she was waiting for another bus no. 35. (She was standing where 35 comes.) She looked as if she is from Gujarat but I cannot be sure. You won't find such a person in Tamil Nadu for sure. Had the looks of a journalist but seemed to be in her teens. Short hair. Salwar kameez. No dupatta. A handbag (journalist style). And a amazingly composed look in the bright face. She saw me, I knew. When you want someone to look at you, you should look some other way. I knew when she looked. I was looking at the little girl selling jasmine flowers on the pavement. After some seconds I looked back at her. I was sure she would be looking at the jasmine flowers. And she was!
The bus started and I moved. For a moment we both looked at each other. We smiled. The bus moved on.
I do not know if I would see her again. Its okay. :))
