muskaan

reached the bus stop.
was a bit tired with all the meetings and the load of things to do.

carrying these weights and sat myself down on a shop entrance.

busy people walking up and down.
what hustle and bustle and what energy this city's denizens display.

automatically i a m smiling. almost a plastic smile pasted on face:-)

a weary ba limping past. my full smile hits her.
she lights up. crooked teeth all stained red with excess paan chewing.
totally lights up. her face loses at least 10 years. totally awesome bisage (bengali for visage).
pumps me up. total weight reduction happened. reached home smiling.

ss has had a similar brilliant experience.
