found this little note i had written a year ago or so. happy tat i did! its pleasant to be reminded of that moment. almost like reliving it. :)

At the most odd places, on stools, Zing and I eating our ice creams at a supermarket, I have the most beautiful and inspiring moments.
The security guy gives me always 3 extra scoops for my single scoop Spanish delight. I give him my ‘oh dear I don’t know what to say but thank u’ smile. No, I don’t give him one of my dazzling smiles, I can not cheat with this guy with a grand smile or by squealing with delight. I can never even out his sweet gesture. Whenever you feel most touched and genuine, I am not very good at expressing it. I am horrible at it and I don’t work on it.

So Zing and I chatted up. I just sat on a stray stool and asked a lady for another one. she offered one stool and smiled. Nobody bothered us. Everything felt nice. The best compliment is when someone smiles you his/her real one. Yes, you can always differentiate between a smile that reaches the eyes and making them gleam from the ones which doesn’t.

I don’t remember what we talked about. I am forgetting a lot of things lately. But it was something very pleasant, though in our very chaotic and confusing state we talked about it while relishing the icecreams.

We leave and I say ‘good night and see you soon’ to the security guard.
That 20 minute was a good moment.
Gives you the hope that there will be beautiful moments and surprises stored in these odd little places.

You should continue your writing. I have noticed a writer-in-the-making in all that you have written so far, especially your older posts.

I particularly liked your left shoe. Where have you vanished to? Why did you stopped writing?
