SUNGLASSES

As my car stopped at the traffic light, the other day, I was getting pissed off by everything around me, my boss, my neighbour who I was sure was stealing electricity from my meter; the blaring music-the Santro guy in front of me was playing; that I was stuck in that long queue of restless drivers ; or the fact that I couldn’t make time to write in my blog, something which was just mine, no string attached; And so to calm myself, I started looking around.
I saw an old guy and his wife waiting on in their 2 wheeler; A school bus with some naughty kids-playing with their “kerchief-guns”; some teenagers by-hearting their books for a test or something. And then I saw her.
Her car was parked just adjacent to mine. She was driving a sedan with her glass half-rolled down. What moved me was not her looks (not that she wasn’t beautiful or something!!), but her sunglasses. What was she hiding beneath those glasses, I started pondering.
Maybe she was hiding dark circles of a night out with friends; dancing and drinking shots all night. Bravo!! I said to her in my mind.
Maybe she was hiding a black eye; an injury caused by her boyfriend while having some altercation with her. How could anyone do something to a lady??
Maybe she was hiding puffy eyes; she might have cried all night thinking of a marriage she was not ready for.
As I started getting more curious about the girl, I saw that the traffic had started to move; and so put my car back to roaring, I saw the girl’s car pass by me. And suddenly, she took her hand out of the window and gave me “the finger”!!
I looked around. No one had noticed. After minutes of driving in absolute shock, I smiled to myself. I chuckled within and said to myself-“Something to write in my blog after all”
