It has been a while since the last time I had that. An honest, from deep within my heart smile.
After watching this video, I got transported to that time when I used to stand at the same place as the guy who made this video. And as that moment came alive within me, I had a perfect smile :)
I don't know how many times have you done that, but almost every time I traveled in trains, I used to stand at the door, and used to let the gush of air breathe me in, as I breathed that in to me. There was a sense of freedom, a feeling of being one with God's creation... Almost like a real time movie with you in the balcony seat.
And when I traveled 24 hours in trains, I could actually see the day pass through and night settle in. I am sure in our daily lives not many times do we pay attention to this. It was simply awe inspiring the way a totally different aspect of life presented itself. As my cousin says, simple pleasures of life...
And now as I saw in the US, the train doors are closed. What they end up closing is the whole set of experiences I mentioned above. I guess whats missing here are those small openings in our otherwise packaged lives through which, every now and then we could be transformed into a totally different world. One where you could actually observe a day melt into night. Where you could watch a movie where the landscape changed its countenance every now and then. One where when it rained, you could just stretch ur neck out and feel the drops on ur face.
One where you were .... you...

The 'fish' girls
No I am not talking about mermaids. Although that is a great topic of another blog, but maybe some other time. For now I am talking about a special breed of girls who have been given prior education, most probably in convents to use a special word 'fish'.
You see, they are kinda special. You can pretty much single out the 'fish' girls out of a group very easily. They usually have very pretty face, more often than not their legs are chiseled by Michelangelo, they are interested in the same sports which you are crazy about... In short they are every thing you want. The trouble is that some times their resume has a few 'skills' far too much for your palate.
So what is this fish thing? any been-there-done-that guy will know what this stands for. In the male bastion, where there are pretty much no rules about using a particular 'f' word in a friend circle, I guess women folk kind of observe a self constraint. Add to this the general perception that girls are 'usually' the more 'appropriate' folks around and will definitely purge the group from its oral misadventures. So when a girl wants to use the 'f' word, she replaces it with a 'fish'! And they think they have kinda swept it under the carpet. What they don't kinda realize is that for most guys using an 'f' word among guys is way more exhilarating than actually trying to avoid saying it, coz now not only you are pretty, awesome and lovely, but you are bindaas, approachable and cool to be with! what a combination...
So here is the deal. Here is this awesome femme fatale, she has a very pretty face, she seems to have a good head, and boy she loves the same activities like I do, and she uses the 'fish' word too! And that's when all guys in the group begin their 'moves' to bag this prized possession. What adds fuel to the fire is that the actions are not exactly rebuked.
And there I am in the crowd, but kinda better off than other guys, and seem to have made the moves better than them. She and I have been talking for a while now, and we exxactly share our likes and sense of humor. Infact it is going soo well that her 'fish' utterances are coming out now more so often and I am reveling in the fact that she is so much one among us, that I could really think about the next step with her. And maybe a little down the road, decide upon a longer road with her too!
She is wearing a beautiful dress. (Oh! what the hell I think anything will look good on her) Although I never ever notice this stuff on girls, but even her jewelry stands out on her. Her cute little ear rings, her thin and elegant necklace just make their presence felt and simply increase the beauty I have in sight. Down in her arms, her red bangles covering just a little area, enough for them to sparkle just like her eyes, make the road I was thinking about even more impelling.
And there is a ring in her fourth right finger on the right hand.
It is then that the final 'skill' on her resume shows up. She is taken. As have all other such fish girls been in the past. As they say, that no matter how quickly you approach a 'fish' girl, there is always a faster son of a gun, smirking somewhere at you.
