I doubt my Christmas could ever be better than this one.
When returning from office, as I stopped at a signal, a Wagon R slowed down besides me. Is there alternate thing to do other than taking a glimpse at everything around you? Just as I looked at that WagonR, I saw somebody sitting inside waving his hand at me. And then he spread out his palm and gestured at me, asking, ‘everything ok?’
I nodded. Had no clue even about our acquaintance if any.
Something seemed weird about this guy. Mid 30s. Fair. Short hair. Whenever he talked a man (driver) and the woman who sat in front of this guy would tell him to shut up. When the guy touched anything and played with it, the man would shout and pull whatever was in his hand.
That’s when I realised he was mentally imbalanced.
Just as this guy called a boy selling toys and asked to show him the light emitting stick of blue and red, the driver told the seller to get lost…
Common it was a new year… Might be that mental person did not understand anything, but how could those other guys be so heartless???
Don’t know what I thought then… I bought that illuminating stick and gave it to him greeting ‘happy Christmas’. He took it, did not thank me. Even didn’t look at me again…
But then, it was all about watching him smile for those moments, fractions of seconds though… and I realized that it made me happy, of course not that kind when we just start celebrating but the one we seldom feel within…
I guess, I was his “Secret Santa” that eve…
Thats the ‘same’ happiness i felt and u asked me to open an orphanage ..gud atleast u realise it now
