Was returning.....was thinking as I always do when I walk...that's why I am prone to accidents......
Suddenly this 60+ man drew my attention with strange gesture to me. I cudn't understand as he came close, I thought he was asking for a pen. So my hand went to my pocket( to take out pen).
"No No No, Don't worry I am not a thief or anything" He said in fluent english.
I smiled in reply, though this smile wasn't real, It was to show that I appreciated his comment. I was literally flummoxed and was sort of avoiding the unknown disturbance by the old man.
"Great, the way you are walking, the smile, the thought on your face." He continued.
It stroke me real bad, coz i realized that i really was thinking something.....How did he looked so deep?
"No, don't get surprised , Don't get shocked" He almost ordered me.
there i was broke, this man saw me through my shell, There is no point in hiding myself coz I can't.
He moved his hand forward to have a hand-shake, I shook it, He was looking at me, But i still wasn't properly. But he kept my hand in his hand.
And atlast i looked into his eyes, clearly for the first time, and then he smiled, i guess all my hesitation was gone.
"God bless you" He said with an affection as he moved forward.
"thank you" my only reply to him in the end.......i guess by that time i was eased up, I was willing.
In seconds he assessed me and in minutes he got me out of my shell, i was thinking while I returned with feeling better about myself and feeling bit closer to the world.
