Melodious eh???
Well, this has something to do with the events of today evening. The was cloudy since morning, and I LOVE that. Impending rain was stamped on every shadow that the clouds cast on Pune. And it did rain, in the afternoon, and I wasn't there to see it (Not like I'm supposed to, nevertheless).
As I stepped out of office at about 6PM, the weather was PERFECT. It was mildly drizzling, a balmy breeze was blowing, and the exterior of the office made for a perfect setting for all this. So as such, I was in a rare good mood :)
The bus ride back home was uneventful, me stuck to i-pod, and the bus stuck in the jam. As I was to get off the bus, I carried my airbag, clutched my cap, and jumped off the bus. At that very point, as the breeze hit my face, as the pleasantness of the place struck me numb, I had just one reaction.
My face just broke into this broad smile, and a smile of absolutely pure joy, one that I hardly break into these days. There was this girl behind a guy on a scooter on my side of the road. I think she must've seen this, and I saw her spout a wonderful smile too :) I mean, the reaction was so spontaneous!!! I would give anything to have seen my face as I got off, and maybe, it was mirrored in her smile. Its really amazing, how some natural circumstances (the weather in this instance) can spruce you out of the all-pervasive gloom in your life, and how one persons joy, can bring a smile to another, absolute stranger...
And trust me, these small incidents can lift your own spirits... :) It reminded me of these lines...
" Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end."

Lovely post, you've described the incident so well, I could picture it to the last detail! And it made me smile too...I'm sure everybody who reads this will do the same...
Great going!
a smile shared with a stranger surprises you so much, :)
i guess it figures,
in a world full of people too busy to be conscious of themselves,to share a common emotion with a stranger is priceless
:)
hmm yeah... whenever I heard that song b4, I never believed that such freak incidents can actually happen... but, well... I'm a believer now...
Wow...you must be the only Sane then who I share a common love for rains with!
Right now Bangalore is even lovelier..I take a break from work just to go on the terrace and see the overcast sky and smell the scented breeze....strangely , it always tingles the soles of my feet..:)
