Traveling
always leaves us with something new. Travel need not always be a long
one. In fact, short trips like the one you take through a public
transport can turn exciting and sometimes make your day too.
A wide variety of people accompany you. And then comes the best part of it. You start predicting them, making up stories about where they are going, about the state of mind they are in, their gestures and everything that your mind comes up with.
A little boy with full of enthusiasm maybe on his way to finally buy a bicycle he longed for. Or maybe the girl hooked on to her mobile phone is just a few kilometers away from meeting a childhood friend. Or a lady who has dozed off is done with her work for the day and is too tired to even miss a quick nap.
Or a baby staring at the silly faces you make has just no clue what you are trying to do but gives a little innocent smile, and you assume you are such a good person. Or the uncle with frowned eye brows probably had a bad day at work. Or the little girl who constantly looks at the window pane is trying to ponder whether her new hairstyle suits her.
And then comes your destination. All the assumptions and predictions about the people who accompanied you are left there. A new atmosphere, next set of people to predict and entertain your brain for a while.
Maybe, just maybe, somebody was predicting me as well? What were their thoughts about me? Probably I am a subject to somebody's write up as well. Provided they had time to spare on thinking and could afford to sacrifice upon the Candy Crush saga/ Pet rescue Saga/ Whatever saga..
