A Stranger yet so KARMIC !!

It's a bit weird how we connect to some random people we meet . It's not necessarily important that we connect to only those whom we know , who play a very important part in our lives . Life is all about coincidences and that is what makes it beautiful to live .


I can so surely state this because a flimsy like me talking about life and and its coincidences is a bit ironical though , but incidences teach you that yes this is LIFE!!!


It happened when i was in Mumbai for my birthday, it was the last local that i had to take from Wadala to Khargar which arrives at 01:00 a.m. I couldn't even see a stint of any female of almost my age . As I was already disturbed, I got all the more fearful. Although its said that MUMBAI doesn't sleeps all night and its the safest for women still i had this fear, I saw this middle aged female and sat next to her because it was really awkward to stand all alone; the train arrived and i got into the same compartment as hers. It was a long distance and my heart was thumping continuously , faster and faster. There were just two of us , she was indeed damn shrude; I could make that out just in a glimpse. I was sitting all alone , a bit low and depressed .


There were two eunuchs who got into the same compartment from the next station. Indeed they were dressed as females , i could hear them standing on the door & making lewd comments for the boys.


One of them who was dressed in a pair of blue denims and a sleazy t-shirt came and sat next to me & started brushing up her make-up. No wonder her make up was just too damn loud. I looked at her and gave a slight smile, I don't know how and why ?? but I did !! She smiled back. I was looking distraught and withered, she came to me and started yapping.


The first thing she asked me was, " tere ko kya hua hai re ?? aise rata main ekdum akele , aisi roti shakal kaeko banayi hai tu ?? acceh ghar ki lagti hai re tu !! " (what happened to you , why are you travelling all alone so late , u look from a good family )
I smiled and said , " haan , mujhe khargar jaana hai , thodi late ho gayi " (well i have to go to khargar , just got a bit late ) .


And then she tend to become my counseller , again she asked , "teri shakal hai hi aisi ya ro re li hai tu" ( Do you have a long face or are you crying ?? ) . I had no other option but to reply back i said , "Nahi bas thodi upset hoon" (No, i'm just a little upset )
She again asked, "kaeko tere mard se tera jhagda hua kya , shaadi shuda to lagti nahi boyfriend se hua hoga".(you had a fight with your husband though you don't look like you are married, must had a confrontation with your boyfriend) Well i almost thought i was playing SAWAAL DAS CRORE KA and for every right answer she is gonna give me a crore.


Well , I replied back , "Nahi aisa kuch nahi hua hai bas ho jaata hai kabhi kabhi" ( No, there is nothing at all, happens once in a while). Well and then it was the time for the precious advise again by her , damn !! every single moment i was just cursing myself for smiling back at her. And there again she started it , "maine bhut duniya dekhi hai re , mat bata baba , tereko dekh k lagta hai tu khaas hai , tere saath jo bhi hoga accah hi hoga , dekhna kal issi time pe tu hasti hogi"(I've seen a lot of life , its fine if you don't want to tell me , looking at you i felt you are special, whatever will happen with you , its gonna be good nothing bad , just remeber this time tomorrow you will be smiling ) and alas !! she kept her hand on my head and blessed me saying , "Khush reh" (always be happy ) .


It was unbelieveable , i mean i can never expect a normal woman to do the same but she blessed me for no reasons, may be that very day i realised that these people are really special, if you are nice to them , they can never be bad to you, they ought to be good.


How can you bless someone so random , a stranger! wish for that person's happiness ; these people are special and that is what makes them special , may be we degrade them and make them feel that they can never be a part of us , but they deserve it. In this emancipated, selfish and ruthless world if somewhere i saw humility , it was within them.
How indifferent it is , people whom you depend upon make you feel they are strangers and a stranger at times really gives a big lesson TO LIVE , TO LOVE & FOR LIFE !!!
Well, I replied bac, "Nahi aisa kuch nahi hai
