but indeed she was in best of her moods and this was her way of humoring me. I could have gone on and on with this conversation but somewhere I felt myself sinking into a state of despair. this misunderstanding, the sudden breaking of thoughts left me clueless, searching for words. in the end I took my leave with a promise of writing something. now I am again confused about what would the topic be. should I write about a snowflake as I wondered about it or should I elobrate on cornflakes and how they have changed the breakfast table.
anyways it is a futile excercise. the time has long passed when I used to impress her with my words. she has always been a catch for me. someone I have always wanted but never could have - en enigma, elusive and unknown.
I still remember the day I first met her. It was after persuading for many days that she finally agreed to see me, that too just for a while as she was passing through. She said I could have all the time while she waits for the train to come at the platform. so, there I was on the platform before my time eagerly waiting for her filled with excitment.
I scanned through each pretty face coming down the bridge. it was not long before I caught glimps of her. She was running down in a hurry. At the same time a train was pulling in, my heart skipped. did she forget me ? but I was chatting with her all this while. how could she not know that I am waiting here for her. halfway down she also noticed me. I really don't remember if she caught me gwaking at her, but she said something and broke my trance. we moved aside as the train came in, I was still wondering if she is going to get on it. at the very moment she said "bye, my train has arrived". I couldn't help myself but give her a dumb look. she just broke out laughing, she was more considerste of me than I thought. she stayed back for the next train and spared some time for me.
that was my brief zing moment. its odd to be included in a post about cornflakes. but then again, that is life - unfair as it is fair.
