On some lazy afternoon getting into bus, opting for window seat the generally desolated bus felt crowded as I witnessed a burqa clad lady took a place beside me. Though I am not someone who choose to start a conversation but the person in me is always very keen about watching the other person and as i went on looking at her black attire for a moment i stumbled upon delicately embroidered gloves she wore. That was an instant love moment for me, I never knew they were so beautifully made.
I constantly watched
her long fingers wrapped within thin layer of black fabric, I wondered how she
can opt to spend most of her life in this loosely twilled outer layer from the
moment she steps out of her house. I kept wondering more weather she would be
distracted by so many options and so many colors to choose from, Ok! I know she
may not continue to be covered with Burqa the moment she reach her destination but this idea was bothering me as I couldn’t understand and now i continued gazing at her long eyelashes which were more curiously peeping out i quiet went on overboard thinking will she have the same daily ritual as
most of the we (Women) have in the morning of spending good 20 mins of our day in deciding
what to wear according to endless factors like mood, occasion, color time etc
etc , ufff.. You see that’s the actual task. I asked myself that will she not
feel the sense of strangled inside it, would she enjoy the freedom of adding more colors to the
world and so on. i was all questioned..
When driver hit the break which was more or less was a break
to marathon of my wondering thoughts, she gently got up from her seat looking at
me when I beamed a big smile at her. Well i don’t know she smiled back at me.
As I saw her leaving I slowly whispered “Lady You are Brave”
Brave to be Hid in that.!!
Brave to be Hid in that.!!
And I sat staring at my bare fingers, and the ring around
my finger twinkled with a little smile in his memories..
