She came and sat next to me in the bus, at Opera House. Her hair was a radiant brown and it gave off a nice and flowery fragrance. She had fixed it atop her head with a nice butterfly clip, but a few stray wisps fell around her small face, framing it nicely. A hint of a smile played on her lips as she swayed slightly to the tune of the music on her Walkman phone. She answered a call in a lilting feminine voice which, for no reason, brought a smile to my face. She accidentally brushed my foot and apologised with so much sincerity in her soft brown eyes that I couldn't get a coherent word out! Suddenly, I was glad I had a big office bag in my lap.
All too soon, VT arrived and she got off. The bus sped along mercilessly, hurrying me to my office two stops ahead!

u didn't talk to her?!? dum dum!!!
take the same route and keep ur fingers crossed - this sounds like the beginning of ur very own romantic comedy!
how have u been? :)
@ Princess : Sigh!!! No, I didnt...u see, I couldnt get a word out! I always take the same route, though not at the same time. 9 am is waaaay too early for me to start for office. And wat kind of hopes can a fat guy like me harbour neway?
Now how on earth did the bag on your lap help??? Was the incident so moving???? :-D
My sympathies Sumo..such incidents are very momentary..but that's what is best about them..the ephemeral nature of it all..
@ Everyman : Erm...let's just say I wasn't in control of all my reactions, and leave it at that!!!
Yeah, I guess wat u r saying is right. But it sure was nice...sigh!!! :-)
dont worry yaar...tera number ayega !!!.....i'll wait for mine too in the mean time....
@ Riaan : We'll drink to THAT!!!
you are very fat buddy, you are a civil engineer, you are telling lie that you work at Vt, and still you think you are the hero of next yash chopra flik
@ Anon : Bright ray of sunshine, aren't u? U got the fat and engineer part spot on. But, methinks u cant read to save ur life!!! Go through the post again and try to figure out where I work. Maybe then ur English will improve, eh? ;-)
hey sumo...who is this idiotic "anonymous"..who by the way shld go back to school i guess....cant even put together sentences....and y is he/she so hell bent on being rude to u???
p
@ p : I have no idea who is the dolt. But this person seems to know me. Neway, I can always take digs at the bad English...he he!!!
sumo remember you are a civil engineer and a civil engineer must work with those labours . you are not like other engineers buddy, you are the lowest rank technoperson, so dont be in heaven, and dont talk too techno and ultramodern. look you stays some sort of chawl/ small house in somewhere congested parts of south mumbai, your father have old maruti 800 and you are basically a maharashtrian, so be within your limits and dont get me into my angre, i know very well hows my english is, next time if you say anyword, then i will put you and your family ______ on the net, you better understand this.
@Anon : Err...u do realise that u just proved me right, don't u? :-D
U know, it's really tempting to simply delete ur comments and forget all abt them. But, naah!!! I wanna see how far u will go, u know.
And BTW, u have TERRIFIED me with ur comments!!! Boo!!! :-D
