First, let me apologize for my long silence. Yes, my month of training for the exams is over. And the dreaded exam is tomorrow. And after that, my holidays unofficially begin. Note the word unofficially, because after that, there is one more exam a fortnight later, which I have no chance of passing. Which calls for celebration, ofcourse. Don't worry, what I'm saying is less morbid than it sounds. In a country like mine, being a typical citizen(meaning you most probably end up learning something that you don't like, and which is unconnected to the job you'll end up in), you get used to stuff like this.
Secondly, (one of my friends pinpointed that this habit of mine to organize my sentences this way is annoying. Especially because I'm a debater, and it sounds weirdly like I'm debating even in normal conversation. And also, this is unhelpful during debating, when I don't have any points to talk about, and my speech fizzles out after 'secondly'). Where was I? Oh, yeah, secondly..
Secondly, I am thoroughly excited about my new followers. Thanks!!! It's encouraging to know there's someone out there interested in what I say, taking time to read what I think of everything under the sun.
Finally, I get around to what I wanted to post about. If you have been reading my posts for a long time, you'll know that I have already blogged about some incidents in my life, where little kids do something small nevertheless unforgettable, consequently making my day sunnier. You might think there seem to be one too many incidents like this for all of them to true. I agree. Because the same thought struck me one day. And I realized, that if I hadn't blogged about them, they would have faded from my memory. But in jotting them down, and thinking about them every now and then, I can see that these things happen to everybody, everyday. Some notice it, and some don't. And there lies the window to the sunshine in your world.
This incident happened long ago...
One evening, I was walking home from the bus-stop, and I picked a different route so I could walk under the trees. I was walking past a house, when I heard someone call from a terrace. I looked up, and there were two tiny(yes, tiny) girls practically hanging over the wall of the terrace, trying to catch my attention. They waved at me, and I waved back. Then one of them yelled down to me, "What's your name?" I answered. Then the other girl said, "Why are you looking so sad?" And I was stunned. Yeah, you know how it is. When we're walking alone, we all tend to have a blank face to the world. More often than not, you look like you're frowning. Have you noticed it, ever? That must have been what happened that day, and there was just one tiny girl who bothered to ask me why I looked unhappy.
No, it didn't make my day. No, I don't know who that girl was. And no, I never walked by that way again. But the rest of the way, I wasn't frowning. It was one of those unplanned moments of kindness by a little girl bored enough to watch the road one sunny afternoon. She may forget me. I may not know her. But I shall not forget her comradely smile, and her waving me to go on.
Walking in the shade,
