What’s their story??

Have you ever walked on the road and suddenly stopped to look around yourself. We see a multitude of people, different colours, odours, shapes and sizes. Ever stopped and wondered- “What is their story?”

Why is the boy of four sitting forlornly? Is he thinking about why his parent’s attention suddenly seems to be focused on his new born sibling or is he thinking about how he is going to tell his mother about the new pencil box that he lost.

What is the dutiful house-wife thinking about? Maybe she is thinking about the callousness with which her husband dismissed her wish to furnish her kitchen last night and regretting that if she had studied further and made something more out of her life, she would not have had to ask her husband today.

What is the old lady sitting on a charpoy in front of her house thinking about? Is she thinking about how bold the women of today have become or is she thinking about an era by-gone and a beauty that she once was.

What is that young girl gazing into the horizon, thinking about? Is she pining for a loved one or is she looking towards the future with hope-filled eyes or maybe she is worried that her parents will get her married before she finishes studying or maybe she is just sighing contentedly that everything has worked out the way it should have

What is the middle-aged software engineer thinking about? Maybe he is thinking about how the absence of a B. E degree seems to have become a roadblock in his career and how his experience of 6 years counts for only so much and it leads to frustration that leads him nowhere.

Every one has a story and however similar it may sound or seem, each one is distinct and unique and that is what makes one ask-"What is your story?".

I know what you mean. Sometimes they are lost in their own world that they dont seem to notice that you are studying them...like how you were lost in your own world when you drove into Hotel Woodlands today and dismissed me calling out to you.....
