Happened to witness a beautiful scene in a suburban train. It was a decently looking couple (from their manners and behavior I’m convinced that they are in love). A typical middle class girl wearing a normal salwar* hugging few notebooks and a hand bag… I’m least interested in defining this guy.... everything revolved around this girl.. (Or at least for me it looked like …) Ok to be fair and to escape diversity issues, he resembles a typical next door boy in a jean and t shirt (That’s the max I can!!). The train was crowded and I was lucky enough to get a comfortable seat next to window. The couple was standing close by facing each other. It was an obvious reaction from my side to keep noticing them every 5 min (every 2 min for the girl alone).
They were talking for some time.. and most of their conversation ended in a laugh/blushing. (Confirmed lovers!!). At a point of time, they were looking at each other, not uttering a single word yet communicating through eyes!! They were serene and I’ve rarely seen such instances (and many a times only in cinemas). Though this recollected me the very famous dialogue “kaeta kannulaye pesikirangalam” from the movie “mouna pesiyadhae” i must agree that it was indeed a beautiful moment!! Worth remembering!!
I’m not an “expert” in reading faces… I still can’t figure out the expression in the girls face. It was of course happy… but coupled with happiness, there was yet another expression hiding in her face... Was it shyness? Was it something else? I honestly don’t know!! But on that moment, I was able to feel the intensity of their love and… and… it was simply wonderful to see them.
Without further delay I turned my sight towards a different direction.. not wanting them to get a intuition that someone is noticing them so as to give a discomfort.
Happy for them!!
