Eyes Talk
This time the journey from Delhi to Pilani was one of my worst journeys, I guess. Seven and a half hours to travel the 209 kilometers. Top that with no one around whom you know. Top that with no network because of a sim problem. The cherry being the guy in front continuously smoking, paying no heed whatsoever to people around him.
The only time pass being noticing people around. Just look around and try to guess what the person might be thinking. It’s just then that I realized that if you were to guess, the first thing you notice are the eyes. Hope, despair, love, care, irritation, boredom, so many emotions!
There’s this lady with a baby and the way she looks at him while he is sleeping…
This very old man gazing at this young boy who’s all dressed funky…
The man who looks so anxious and nervous checking his wristwatch again and again..
2 girls who’ve forgotten everything around, busy with themselves, chatting their minds out…
The driver who looks so plainly at everything as if he is tired of it all..
The uncle who gets down at every small stop as if searching for something…only to run back to catch the bus each time..
The guy behind me totally drained out by the journey…
Me, just staring stupidly at everyone around..thinking what would they be thinking..
So ‘bollywood’ish right? Different people, different lives, so many stories..
They say that an empty mind is a devil’s workshop. Is it?
