METRO DIARY

Today, when I reached at metro station in morning,  I saw more public then daily routine on platform, found metro was running bit late. So I dropped two metro's to have bit empty metro in which I could stand easily. But my bad luck, still metro was coming crowded, so I entered into third one. Somehow I got a spot in the middle of the coach near pole. And when I looked upon public inside the metro I got the reason of crowd, 60-70% public were going to Trade Fare. A group of three college going girls was standing very close to me, So That I could have heard their chitchats. Normal talks about college, study, friends and about excitement they had about going to trade fair first time. I didn't want to listen their chitchat but I didn't have the option because of crowd, which was growing by every station crossed. 

Suddenly  one girls phone rang. And with their talks, I got the idea that it could have related to campus recruitment. Just after one or two minutes the other person on other side asked something and to that question she whispered very secretly that I went into doubt, and I think that other person  also couldn't heard her reply so, that person asked again, and she looked here and there and she whispered again, but due to metro announcement I thought  that other person couldn't heard it so she said again MY NAME IS SONAM GUPTA.

Just as she said her name I could have seen numbers of people faces turned to her with strange,laughing looks. She saw all of them and just alighted at next stop with what feeling in her heart. 

I felt ashamed just because of what ? 

क्योंकि लोगों ने मासूम को मखोल की नज़रों से देखा ? क्या क़सूर था उसका ? सिर्फ़ नाम ?? 

SONAM GUPTA WHO IS SHE ? 

SHE IS SOMEONE's DAUGHTER, SOMEONE's SISTER, SOMEONE's MOTHER AND MAY BE SOMEONE's WIFE. 

      पर हमें क्या ? किसी बैग़ैरत, बेवक़ूफ़ इंसान ने सोशल मीडिया पर कुछ लिख दिया और उसके उस जैसे ही दोस्तों ने फैला दिया और हम जैसे कुछ so called educated लोगों ने इसको VIRAL KAR DIYA. But who cares life still goes on. 

But for once I felt like that Its good that I am not a part of this MENTALITY. 

OLA CAB

10:35am, today morning, Chandhigarh station. I have booked OLA CAB, called driver, 

Me:- Hello ! 

Driver:- Good morning Sir ! Thanks for booking Ola. Where are you ? 

Me:- Good morning ! I am standing in front of Chandhigarh  Railway station. 

Driver:- Okay. I will be there in five minutes. 

I was surprised by the response of the driver. The ascent was really good and seemed to be very educated one. And when cab arrived and I saw the driver, I was more surprised. He was wearing really good branded formals. Good personality. And a positive smile on his face. I got in the cab and shook his hand. 

Me:- Hello ! 

Driver:- Hello ! Nice to see you Sir. 

I smiled back. 

Driver:- Where do you want to go sir ? 

I gave him the address. And asked him. 

Do you drive cab as a part time Job or its your Own Cab ? 

He smiled and said..

Driver:- Sir, its mine. Today my driver is on leave. So I am driving it because mine is also off. 

Me:- Ohh ! Okay. I thought so. Because you are really good. And I thought, are all Ola drivers are same in chandhigarh or my luck is that good. 

Driver:- Laughed and said its my good luck that I just started my day with you. 

Me:- Smiled. What do you do ? 

Driver:- I am Mechanical Engineer. Working in Mahindra Swaraj.  Do you know the company ? 

Me:- Yes, they make Tractors. 

Driver:- Yes Sir. What do you do Sir ? 

Me:- I am also engineer but I don't have the degree. 

Driver:- Means ? 

Me:- I do repair all types of cameras and lenses, and I am doing it from past 20 years so I am an Engineer by experience so  I don't  have the degree. 

We both laughed. 

Driver:- you don't look like that old. 

Me:- Smiled. Yeah. I don't look like that old and I have started working at the age of 13. 

Driver:- Ohh! That's great Sir. 

Me:- Brother don't call me Sir please. Main aapke age group KA he hoon.

Driver:- I am just 24. 

Me:- Took a long breath. I am just 34. 

We Both laughed and my destination had arrived. So I did alight there. Paid him. Shook his hand. Exchanged business cards. 

What a pleasant experience I had . Just made my day. Just suppose if we have that kind of experience daily in cabs. I am not saying for engineer drivers. But if a driver behave like a descent one. Than it would be really good.

""WAITING""

AAJ Phir Barasat hui to MERA man bechain Ho pada. Mere man mein unko dekhne Ki tadap fir SE lag gayi. Main Bahut Rok RAHA tha apne aap Ko par, HAR thodi der baad MERA man reh-reh kar uske khyalo mein kho RAHA tha. Aur Shaam dhalte he mere Ghar Ki Taraf utthte hue Kadam, Uska didaar Karne k liye mudd Gaye.

Baarish Ki bundo SE bachta hua main uske Ghar k Saamne pahuch Gaya. Waha Ek purana Bahut Ghana neem KA ped tha. HAR Baarish mein yeh ped he MERA saya Banta tha. AAJ Bhi uske Kamre mein Roshni Nahi thi, mere Ko laga, pichhle Ek saal SE jo intezaar kar RAHA tha WOH AAJ Bhi Rahega. Par Shayad mere Khuda Ko Kuchh Aur he manjoor tha. Abhi 15-20 minute he beete the intezaar k, k unke Kamre Ki light jal Padi. MERA dil Bahut tez dhadakne laga. Aisa lag RAHA tha k bus abhi kayamat AA jayegi, unka khoobsurat chehra Meri aankhon mein Tairne laga. Bus man he man bhagwaan SE Dua kar RAHA tha k unke Kamre Ki Khidki khul JAYE Aur  unka didaar Ho jaye. Mujhe umeed Issliye thi kyonki unhe Bhi Baarish Ki HAR boond SE PYAR tha. Thodi der mein he Khidki khulne Ki awaaj hui Aur MERA man train Ki raftaar SE dhodne laga, Meri aankhen

tak-taki Lagaye bus Khidki khulne KA intezaar kar Rahi thi. Jaise he Khidki KA palla khula Mujhe laga main Kahi deedaar-e-Sanam SE mar he Na jau. 

Khidki Ki jaali SE unki lehrati hui julfe bahar AA Rahi thi. Aur jaise he boondo Ko chhune k liye unki hatheli thoda bahar Aayi, main Bhi apne saaye Ki aut SE bahar nikal aaya. Thoda SA Aur aage Ki Taraf Ho kar k main jab unki Khidki k Bilkul Saamne hua to bus unki hatheli he bahar thi, unhone apna Chehra mod rakha tha. Main apne Ko Bahut Roka par mere kaanpte hue hothon SE unka naam nikal HE Gaya. 

Aur bus Baarish Ki iss tez awaaj mein jaise woh Bhi Issi intezaar main baithi thi. Woh Ek dam SE Palti, Aur jaise WAQT tham Gaya. 

Na to Baarish Ki awaaj, Na kisi k aane KA Dar, Na bheegne KA pata tha, Na Pitne KA Dar. 

Kuchh tha to bus unka masooom chehra jo hamesha KHUSH rehta tha AAJ udaas tha. Woh Gehri Jheel SE aakhe jo hamesha Chanchal rehti thi AAJ kisi sukhe hue Talaab Ki Taraf khamosh thi. 

Unke woh larajte hue hoth jo hamesha khilkhilate rehte the, AAJ kisi KAPDE Ki silayi Ki Tarah sile hue the. 

MERA man hua k main chilla kar puchhu kya Ho Gaya tujhe AE MERI ZINDAGI ? par unki gairat Ko uchhalna Nahi chahta tha. 

Aur jaise he Meri Aur unki najre mili, Ek pal k liye to Aisa laga k Sab theek ho Gaya hai par unhone Ek dum Khidki band kar di. 

Main SOCH Bhi Nahi paya k yeh kya hua, Aur main abhi SOCH he RAHA tha k unki gallery KA darwaja khulta hua najar aaya Aur Meri saasien rukti hui. 

Pehle to unki CHHOTI behen bahar Aayi usne Mujhe dekha Aur Waha SE Jane KA Ishara kiya. Maine Bhi haath jod kar unko dekhne Ki guzarish Ki. Thodi der tak Meri guzarish KA silsala chalta RAHA. Aur woh Shayad maan gayi. MERA dil ab Bahut tez dhadakne laga k ab woh qayamat ki raat itne intezaar k baad aa gayi. 

Pehle unke chehra KA didaar hua Aur uske baad woh jab bahar Aayi to unhone baisakhiyon KA Sahara le rakha tha. 

Main bus Sara Maajra samajh Gaya. 

Aur jaise he Sab samajh mein aaya main apne ghutne k bal zameen par baith Gaya Aur Meri aakhon se pani KA sailaab beh uttha. Yahi haal unka Bhi tha. Woh Bhi apni gallery mein Khadi ro Rahi thi. 

Thodi der aise he baith ne k baat Maine Faisla kiya Aur unke Ghar Ki Taraf bad kar unke Ghar Ki bell Baja di. 

Aur fir agle 6 mahine unko Aur unke gharwalo Ko manane mein laga diye. 

AAJ humari SHAADI Ko 5 saal Ho Gaye hai. Do khoobsurat pari Ki Tarah ladkiya hai. Aur Meri zindagi KA chehra, aakhen, Aur  lab Pehle Ki Tarah chehkne Aur muskarane lag Gaye hai. 

""You wouldn't understand""

Today due to one meeting in morning at moolchand metro station, I left home early then routine time. As I got free from my meeting, I look at my wristwatch and I found that I still have 30minutes to wait outside My institute (Japan foundation), so I thought of waiting in CCD, which is situated in outer premises of metro station. As I walked towards it, I saw one girl, sitting near pillar of metro on pedestrian , lying down her head on her knees. As I crossed her, I heard weeping, so I did stop for a moment, looked at her, she was well dressed and seemed like educated and belonged to good family. I wanted to ask why ? But couldn't got the strength to ask her at first. So I walked 5-6steps but couldn't walk further. Turned back to her, sat beside her, took out tetra pack of my coconut water from bag, and asked her, 

Would you like to drink water ? 

She didn't give a single nod to my question. So I took out my handkerchief and again asked her.

Would you like to drink water my sister ? 

A silence were there for a minute. 

And then I could heard her sobbing. 

She took out her head from her knees and look at me. I offered her coconut water and my handkerchief. She saw me with very strange teary eyes and for the first time I couldn't get the idea what was that ? But she took both from my hands. She Wiped her face drank the water. And as I saw her than, it was like clouds removed themselves out of SUN. She was beautiful,innocent,cute but she was just a TEENAGER. 

She said thanks, I said its okay. 

Kuchh Khana hai ? 

She said no,it's okay. 

I said okay let's go to CCD and have some coffee. 

She saw me again very strangely and again I didn't get the idea. Although I started walking towards CCD, and looked back that was she following me or not, she was. 

We sat there I have ordered my favourite "devils own" for myself and she ordered some "frappe". I wanted to ask her lot of things but couldn't ask. We sat there in silence, but our eyes were talking. Lots of question but still they are just question, didn't have the answer than, don't have the answer yet. Its a generation gap when her eyes said ""AAP NAHI SAMAJH PAOGE.""

And I couldn't tell those eyes that I had the same . We had our coffees and then we walked out. 

I said Take care, and her eyes again were full of tears but they were of strength I think . She said Thanks for everything. And we part our ways.

"OOPS""

On 19th,last Friday of this month I had my class of Japanese language. I started my day earlier than my regular days, I dressed up like everyday. Went to the metro station and got on the metro to Mandi House. Metro was not much crowded as it is on other days,so I thought of doing some revision from my Japanese book. When I was taking out my book from my bag, I saw these two beautiful girls sitting in the corner seats opposite to me and they were looking at me, I felt they wanted to say something but they stopped and started talking between themselves only. I also ignored them and started studying, but whenever I looked at them in between I found them looking back at me, smiling. At one time, I also smiled back. At first I thought they were impressed because of my Japanese book,so I kept on studying. But  I was still uncomfortable with their naughty looks and wanted to know what they are upto.

Their eyes were like full of naughtiness and seemed that they wanted to make fun of someone, by playing a prank on them.

I was very much confused and disturbed by the way they were looking at me and they were talking very quietly and secretly. So I couldn't hear a single thing which made me more impatient. Time flew  and Mandi House station came and I  alighted there in confusion, thinking what was that.

Just then, a fellow traveller who was standing or sitting somewhere in same metro coach, who was keeping his eye on all things passed by me saying, 

""BHAI ZIP KHULI HAI""

I was stunned for a second, 

The first word came out of my mouth was ""OOPS"". 

I closed the zip and then laughed .

I was laughing on myself and on my thinking, 

That fellow traveller was smiling back to me and waving his hand as if saying 

""SHIT HAPPENS BROTHER""

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

आज सुबह metro किसी कारणवश देर से चल रही थी, ऊपर से office peak hours. हर coach में भीड़ बहुत थी, मैं ख़ुद बमुश्किल किसी तरह धक्का लगते खड़ा हो पाया । अब जनाब भीड़ इतनी थी कि हमारी body का जो part जिस position में था वो वही रह गया । मेरे आस पास लगभग सब मेरे क़द से बड़े ही थे । किसी  से पसीने की smell किसी से deo की ख़ुशबू । इस मिली जुली हालत में जब मैंने इधर उधर निगाह घुमाई तो दो लोगों के बीच थोड़ी सी jagah mein एक जोड़ी ख़ूबसूरत तरीक़े से तराशी हुई हल्की भूरि आँखें मुझे मेरी और ही तकती नज़र आयी । 

क्या कहु मैं कुछ अलग ही बात थी उनमें, कसक थी, गहरायी थी, उसकी रूह की सफ़ाई और उसकी सारी सोच मुझे उसमें ही नज़र आयी थी । क़यामत थी जैसे किसी अप्सरा को पर्दे कि पीछे खड़ा कर दिया हो और लोगों को बस आँखों का दीदार करने दिया जा रहा हो । 

मैं चाह कर भी अपनी निगाह हटा नहीं पा रहा था । मेरे manners मुझे कह रहे थे के नहीं यह ग़लत है पर हो नहीं पाया । और सही कहु तो मुझे इसका मलाल भी नहीं है । 

वो एक जोड़ी आँखें जो पहले मेरी तरफ़ शायद surprise तरीक़े से देख रही थी, धीरे -धीरे confidence से फिर फिर थोड़ा सख़्त होते हुए ग़ुस्से में तब्दील हो गयी । मैं महसूस कर सकता था कि जिनमें पहले थोड़ी नरमी थी अब उनमें ग़ुस्सा 

था । 

मैं बेहद सोच में पड़ गया क्या मैं इन आँखों को जानता हूँ, क्या मैं पहचानता हूँ ? पर नहीं कोई जवाब नहीं । मैं चाह कर भी देख नहीं पा रहा था उन आँखों के मालिक को। और इसी क़समकश में वो एक जोड़ी आखें KAROLBAGH उतर गयी और मैं चाह कर भी कुछ नहीं कर पाया।

तब से कही मन नहीं लग रहा । मैंने आज तक किसी का मन नहीं दुखाया और अगर किसी का दुखाया तो याद नहीं क्योंकि वो अनजाने में ही हुआ होगा । 

पर जनाब कुछ भी कहो बेहद ख़ूबसूरत आखें थी ।

10th of October, 2009. I was standing near platform crossing bridge of Ludhiana Railway station. It was around 9:00am and I was waiting for my train. I was kind of restless because I can't wait for anything. Suddenly I heard sweet giggling voice of a girl. Which went to my heart directly and i did try to look for the person. 

I found the girl coming down towards platform from that bridge with her parents. Light blue jeans with white top, loose hair falling down on her shoulders, fair colour, broad forehead, black eyes with specs on, beautiful nose pierced with gold nose ring, lovely lips painted with pink gloss, and the flash of her teethes in between her laugh, took my all anxiety. She got my all attention, and when she was crossing me I took away my sunglasses and tried to see her with longing eyes. 

And I think she understood the reason, why I was seeing her and appreciating her innocent beauty.

So she smiled in return for a second and crossed me. 

For another fifteen minutes I was changing my positions so I could stand near her. I knew she understood that but she was trying to ignore me. 

But who knows destiny better than GOD ALMIGHTY. As I entered in my coach and reached to my seat I found her sitting next to me. I laughed internally. And I was happy so much at that time as I have found the most valuable treasure in world. I sat there and we kept our distances but not for long, I was dying to talk to her and eventually with every bit of courage in me, I asked her,

 ""where are you going ?""

She replied and I became more happy because we had have same destination. 

In those 5 hours of journey I found my first love which was ""LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"". 

And after these beautiful years of relationship, we are due to our marriage in this October.

""LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"" First story/ Series.

22nd of October 1999, time was around 5:30 pm, weather was pleasant, light cold breeze was too making weather lovely. I just came from my NANI HOUSE after one week so was standing in my gallery outside of my room and was watching other children playing KHO-KHO in our street in front of our home. Usually I do also participate but that day I was not in mood, don't remember why so, but watching them playing, shouting was relaxing. One of my friend who had have joined them just called me too from there but I have denied him, he forced me but I was not in mood so totally denied him. He left with little anger and got busy in playing. 

Suddenly I heard the voice ""MAIN BHI KHELUNGI"" and it felt like symphony to my ears. So sweet and so pure, full of innocence, and full of naughtiness. I had tried to search for the owner of that melodious voice but I could have seen her head only as she was standing just below my gallery. My curiosity were increasing with her every word, and finally I have decided to participate in the game too. 

I went downstairs and joined them, but my eyes were looking for the person who was not there now. Now it had been fifteen minutes but I couldn't have found her.  I wanted to ask my friend about her but couldn't asked him too. So I left the game and moved towards my home. As I was climbing stairs towards my room I heard that enchanted voice again, I have jumped over stairs and reached at my main gate, and as I did open the gate, someone fell over me, for a moment I didn't understand what did happen, but in next I was just staring at her, 

LONG BLACK HAIR, COMING ALL OVER HER FACE, she was wearing, A WHITE LONG SKIRT WITH RED POLKA DOTS, A PLAIN WHITE, ROUND NECK T-SHIRT, A SMALL BUT BEAUTIFUL JHUMKI. 

I was so LOST in looking her that I didn't realised that she fell over me,  

Just than her friend came and hold her hand and pulled her towards herself. As she stand on her foot confidently she turned towards me set her hairs back which were coming over her face, 

I JUST FELL FOR HER THAT MOMENT. I HAVE REALISED FOR VERY MOMENT THAT I AM IN LOVE. 

BEAUTIFUL BIG BROWN EYES, which were in anger that time. 

NATURALLY DESIGNED EYEBROWS, 

But those were in anger too. 

PLAIN SHARP NOSE WITH SMALL GOLDEN NOSE PIN. 

LIPS WERE LIKE ROSE PETALS, 

But I thought they were saying something which I couldn't understood that time. She left in anger with her friend, I couldn't have done anything besides seeing her gone. 

I came in my attention after couple of seconds when my friend came near to me and asked me twicely that what happened with me. I said nothing to him and went back to my room. Whole night I was thinking for her, couldn't slept for a second, whole night I was staring at my roof, asking myself who was she ? Where she have lived ? Wanted to ask everyone but thought of my parents reputation I couldn't have done that. So I thought wait for tomorrow lets see if she come again. But she didn't, one day, two day, three day, I was waiting for her but she didn't. 

Now it was unbearable for me, so I took the decision and thought of asking about her with my friend. I have enquired about her and found that she came as a tenant in our street few days back and now she went to some place will come back in a day or two. Now I was relaxed than. 

TOOK ME TWO MORE YEARS TO PROPOSED HER, AND WE ARE MARRIED AND LIVING HAPPILY WITH OUR FAMILY NOW. 

But with our parents ACQUIESCENCE, although it took us four years after graduation to made them ready for it. But we did it. And everyone is happy now. 

"""UNDERSTATEMENT"""

Yesterday, on the way back to home, when I did reach at Chawdi bazar metro station, a group of four  Senior citizens walked into metro. All four were talking, laughing,very much positive about life. The one gentleman who was very blithesome(ज़िंदादिल) was telling others their experiences. The other one who did refuse to sit on seat reserved for senior citizens, was complaining about mostly everything. He told others an incident happened with him few days ago that how a young girl misbehaved with him, when he entered in women's coach mistakenly. That other lilt(ज़िंदादिल) gentleman replied, "you should have walked into another coach instead of argument with that girl." 

And he smiled little bit? And said one more thing,""after all, they are our's generator(जन्मदाता). And he laughed. I couldn't understood the reason and meaning behind this. 

And in last just before alighting at RAJIV Chowk metro station, he said one more thing, 

""NANAK DUKHIYA SAB SANSAAR, 

              KHUSH WOH HE, 

       JISE MILE BIWI KA PYAR.""

""FILMY DIALOGUE""

On the way back to home in metro Saturday, when I was standing in Que  to change the metro at RAJIV Chowk, I heard the conversation of two best friends standing in front of me. They were talking about there past life, that how they have enjoyed it. Both were newly married, educated and quite gentleman kind. I kept on listening there conversation. The most bitter hilarious truth, which I heard from them is, 

First one, who was wearing black trouser with blue stripes on white shirt, asked his friend who was wearing grey trouser with white back check shirt, 

"" DO YOU REMEMBER P_________A??""

(I AM NOT DISCLOSING THE NAME OF GIRL HERE.)

He said, 

""YES! I DO. TERI GIRLFRIEND, BAHUT KOSHISH KI, BUT SHADI HO NAHI PAYI TERI USKE SAATH. AND LEAVE IT BUDDY, SHE WASN't SUPPOSED TO BE YOURS, THATS WHY SHE IS NOT WITH YOU IN PRESENT. AND WITH WHOM YOU GOT MARRIED NOW IS MUCH MORE PERFECT THAN HER. ""

First one replied, 

""YES ! MY DEAR, I SECOND YOUR EVERY WORD. AND I AM MORE HAPPY WITH MY WIFE THAN HER. BUT YESTERDAY, I HAVE RECEIVED HER CALL, WE BOTH SPOKE ABOUT LOT OF THINGS, SHE IS ALSO HAPPY IN HER LIFE, I AM TOO HAPPY IN MINE, SHE SAID SORRY, I SAID SORRY TOO. AND CERTAINLY I AM AT PEACE AND I THINK SHE IS TOO.""

Now second one said, 

""THAN WHAT YOU DEMAND MORE IN LIFE?""

First one replied, 

""YAAR, I SAID SOMETHING TO APPRECIATE HER, AS I USED TO DO, WHEN WE WERE ENGAGED. SHE USED TO REACT LIKE,"OHH ! HOW SWEET !" AND YESTERDAY SHE REACTED, 

"WOH HE FILMY DIALOUGES...."

Friends after hearing this I just laughed after alighting on my home stop.  

LOVE BIRDS

What a lovely weather it was in today's morning. I could have felt the love of God in air everywhere.  And as I walked in metro I saw numbers of youth couples, lots of teenage couples were enjoying this pleasant weather on weekend. I can tell you guys 8 out of 10 from those couples have no future and rest 1 out of 2 can goes upto one or two year. And what remains is 1, which was damn serious I thought.  

They were sitting very close to each other in corner seats. Smiling, laughing and caring, and most of all respecting each other, which is greatest of every thing in any relationship. Girl was very cute, kind of chubby. She also had two lovely dimples. So whenever she used to smile, that boy who was wearing simple jeans shirts but branded one with good adequate, fell for them. On the other hand girl was also wearing nice pinkish suit with golden embroidery. Nice little makeup, with little bit foundation. MATT pink lip paint, and very little layer of Kajal, which can only be seen on corners of brown eyes. I was kind of happy to saw them. Because that kind of love is very rare to seen in these days. I went so deep in watching these two love birds. That I didn't knew of how many stations had crossed. Just woke up by the metro announcement that we have reached at R.K. Ashram Metro station. As train was about to leave R.K. Ashram Station. Girls phone rings and she came into bit tension, she looked at boy's face with curious Eyes asking "what to do?" Boy's eyes replied "pick up the phone." I thought Her father or anyone other close in family called her, that's why she came in tension. I got curious too, so I have widen my eye gaze and tried to look upon the mobile screen, and what I saw and what I heard at same time, sent me into state of shock for a moment. The name was flashing on mobile screen

 "patidev". And I heard word "jaanu" from girls lips. The word which was used by her to the boy who was sitting next to her. And when I realised, what had been going on, I just smiled with thought of that where our society is heading upto.  

SEAT PLEASE

Yesterday in evening, when I was travelling back to my home in metro. One SARDAR G, Around age of 55, entered in metro at KAROLBAGH metro station, with nice, small, folding chair in his hand. I thought he was carrying it to home. But suddenly he looked here and there for vacant seats( I think ), and than just moved himself towards back gate of metro and opened his folding chair and sat on it very comfortably. I smiled and thought that how can one use things. Some other's those were watching him also smiled, and some said ""well done" to him. Than he replied 

""Sir g metro mein seat Milna bada OKHA kaam hai, Aur Bachho Ko bolo seat khali Karne k liye to unke nakhre Ho jate hai, Issliye Maine apni seat SAATH le kar chalta hoon."" 

I smiled again after hearing the logic. And turned my back on him. Couple of metro stations crossed, and Shadipur metro station came, two well civilised ladies, around age of 55-60, entered in metro. Both of them looked for vacant seats here and there but as it was peak hour no seats were vacant, so they moved towards back door, and suddenly they saw the SARDAR G  on his unique seat, and I saw light of hope in their eyes. They moved towards him and stood around him. And after passing another station, one of those ladies asked SARDAR G  with very sweet voice

 "" TUSSI KITTHE JANA HAI ?"" 

(Where are you going ?)

SARDAR G replied ""Dwarka""

Again she asked "" saanu Bhi othe he Jana hai""

""TUSSI bura Na Manno te, thodi der baithne do""

(We are also going to same station, If you don't mind than, please let us sit for a while)

And Sardar g vacant the seat for them and replied

 "" seat te raja de nahi hoyi, Phir MERA kya hai""

(No one can claim the seat, whether it's King, than who I am)

I just smiled and did alight on my home station. 

""MYSTERY""

As I walked into metro today, I went into little SHOCK, because metro was quite EMPTY on this particular OFFICE timing. And luckily I got  CORNER Seat too. I was quite  HAPPY that it's great start for the day. So I was ENJOYING the music and SOCIAL MEDIA on my cellphone. But out of HABIT I just did look here and there for a STORY. But didn't find anything  except a NEWLY WED girl sitting on my front seat, trying to SLEEP by keeping her HEAD on her bag on her LAP. And I got myself busy in social Media on my cellphone. After COUPLE  of stations passed I felt someone is STARING at me. So to give a hit to my FEELING, I look over here and there. And FOUND that newly wed girl staring at me. I felt UNCOMFORTABLE so I did  bend my head DOWN and kept myself BUSY in my cellphone. But just after couple of minutes, when I TRIED to see SECRETLY that, is she still staring AT me? I found her that SHE is. So now I got IRRITATED and STARTED staring back to her. But I felt that now she is not staring, her eyes were LOOKING for someone she KNEW, in me. So I kept my eyes GENTLE and tried to had have CONVERSATION by looking into her EYES. I was afraid too that may be I am gonna BEATEN up by that girl. But i took the RISK. The INTENSITY of her eyes made me do that. So I look into her eyes and ASKED her "do you know me? " or "have we met before?" She REPLIED "that's what I wanted to ask you." You look and feel very FAMILIAR to me". "But I couldn't remember yet." 

Her reply made me to MUSCLE up my MEMORY a bit, so I could remember her, if we have SHARED something in COMMON in past. 

So now I look upto her PROFOUNDLY. 

Curly light brown hairs, broad Forehead which was divided beautifully in two by nice real SINDOOR. And small but attractive bindi, beautiful brown eyes outlined by Kajal and curved eyebrows, nice wheatish cheeks covered by light but effective beauty cream, a nice not so long nose with diamond nose ring.  A pair of matching diamond earrings and gorgeous lips painted beautifully with red Matt lip paint. Round but a bit long face with heavy chin. A Mangal sutra on neck  . Wearing beautiful mehroon patiala suit with matching jacket. A nice pair of sandals. 

After looking that MUCH, I found my self NOWHERE that I could recall her but her eyes still looking for an ANSWER. And I was like " I Have no clue, you try"  couple of minutes passed in this SEARCHING my memory lane, but couldn't found any answer. And we reached at jhandewalan metro station. Suddenly her eyes BROADENED up with SHINING of HAPPINESS that she found the answer, she WANTED to say something but I think the  line of DECENCY stopped her. Now I got into TENSION that she knew me but I don't. And that's started me irritating more. So FINALLY I have decided to ask her if she knew me or not, but as when I stood to ask her, metro operator ANNOUNCED that RAJIV Chowk metro station is coming, I had to move towards gate but my mind still there in COGITATION that I couldn't got the answer.  I left the metro in MYSTERY. But still laughing on my DESTINY. That how thing happens with me. 

""FIRST LOVE""

Today I reached at my metro station on my DAILY time, but I FOUND that metro was RUNNING a bit LATE, so metro station was bit over CROWDED. Metro came with FULL of public and I somehow PULLED myself  in metro and after little bit PUSHES got some place to STAND on. As I have made myself COMFORT with my space, I LOOKED over here and there. I found one BEAUTIFUL lady sitting in front of me, were wearing red CHIFFON SAREE with nice black CARDIGAN and SHAWL. Not so much makeup but light RED LIPSTICK thin layer of KAJAL, and little SINDOOR on her beautiful FORHEAD, were increasing her SIMPLE beauty. A beautiful, CUTE girl child was SITTING on her LAP, and on her right side her handsome HUSBAND was there. At first GLANCE, I just did IGNORE her. But at second, I looked her CLEARLY and found MYSELF in SHOCK. Somehow I HANDLED myself and I did want to RUN away from there but due to fully crowded metro couldn't able to go ANYWHERE, So I thought, if it has to be in this way than let it be. And made my self busy in my cellphone. COUPLE of minutes passed and out of CURIOSITY that she saw me or not, I looked upon her AGAIN and our EYES made CONTACT straightly. We both went into shock once again. Numbers of EMOTIONS and EXPRESSIONS comes and goes on our faces in couple of seconds. We RECOGNISED each other and we both wanted to HIDE ourself. But we couldn't OUTRUN our DESTINY this time. God made us stuck in crowd but LONELY WITHin four feet distance. We had to see each other. Now we both used to look upon each other after every minute. Her eyes was TALKING to me and mine was talking to her. Her eyes were ASKING for "SORRY", mine was replying "ITS OKAY". Her eyes said "FORGIVE ME", mine said "I DID". And I think at one point of time we both went into FLASHBACK, we both went into that TIME, which we had spent TOGETHER. We smiled DISCREETLY and got busy in ourselves. But our mind couldn't STOPPED our HEARTS to look upon  ourselves, so once again our eyes made contact and asked "ARE YOU HAPPY NOW ?" Her eyes replied yes "I AM NOW". Mine said "ITS ENOUGH FOR ME".  And RAJIV Chowk station came, I said "ADIOS" and MOVED towards the the metro gate but than I HEARD her VOICE pronouncing her DAUGHTER's name so LOUD that I can heard, "KIRTI", I felt like I am about to DIE. She gave the SAME NAME, which we thought of to have our daughter's. But I walked down to metro with LIGHT heart. The burden of five years is gone now. Because at least she kept her one PROMISE. 

AND I AM AT PEACE NOW.
