…..bring a smile on your face

* you are climbing up the stairs at work, behind a guy and a girl who  you know are a couple and recent parents….the girl’s floor comes and the guy is walking a bit away from her but gives his hand a gentle wave, touches her dupatta, she smiles, he smiles, eyes meet and he walks ahead..not a word exchanged but RM is a puddle of mushiness 🙂

* you run and run with baby and bag and all that, only to realise that the bus you are trying it catch is not even the one you have to catch…the driver stops the bus, smiles at you, shrugs apologetically and then drives away…

*’R, teri mama aa gayi, yeh le tera shoes’ your child’s friend calls her and gives her shoes to her…and I melt with the love between them

*you are walking down the market and see a young boy holding the hand of an old lady with a walking stick and telling her ‘baa, tame dheeme chalo, hoon hath pakadu chu ne’ (Grandmom, you walk slowly, I am holding your hand na)

*You see a newly wed couple in the mall holding hands and walking oblivious of the surrounding…and how did I figure out they were newly wed..no no, I didnt go and ask, I didnt want to break the moment, the girl’s hands were full of the marriage bangles which the North Indians wear after marriage for an year or so…(It has a specific name, I cant recall!)

*You are at the fruit seller and one aunty who is obviously a regular is haggling for Rs.20 with the fruit seller…the guy gets bugged and says ‘take it take it’ when the aunty smiles back saying ‘acha theek che, new year aave che ne, etle hoonj extra aapi dau’ (its okie, since the new year is coming, I will only give you extra) and hands him the Rs.20 in question..honestly, I just broke into a smile when I heard the two talk and the fruit seller looking back at her astonished 🙂

*A stunning girl gets into the bus with you and is standing to get off the stop with you and daughter…you ask her if she is getting off while your daughter manages to tug her shawl..she looks down, smiles, gives her a toffee and then walks away..only to meet you again at the bus stop where your child’s school is going to come..as her friend  comes to pick her up in his awesome bike, she sits on it and then your child says ‘bye didi’ and she turns around, gives a super flying kiss and your daughter’s face splits into two with a smile 🙂
