The Precious Smile

It was a sunny day in summer of Jun and I was going from Delhi to Faridabad by bus. The bus was packed but comfortable and moving at an average speed since it was passing from the ring road which engulfs the city of Delhi all around. The people were sitting calmly, some were busy gossiping while others looked outside and were enjoying the fresh air coming through the window and I was one amongst them. Some were busy handling their kids and showing them various monuments which were visible from the bus. The road was clean and the traffic was dense due to lot many cars which plied on the road.  Being a capital city of the nation the street roads were clean but lot of construction of flyovers made some parts dusty.

I could see beautiful cars below the bus window on to my right which were quietly overtaking our   bus , thanks to the modern technology of noiseless cars. Variety of models could be seen as there was no count of it since eruption of no of car companies. From the lowest to the costliest models all could be seen at one glance making you dream of owning the best one someday. While I was watching what was going on outside I saw a beautiful navy blue coloured Hyundai Sonata car pass below my window of the bus trying to overtake the bus. It blew its horn but the bus driver could not allow it to overtake it as there was a vehicle in the front and the road was congested so the car moved on parallel with us and I could see it advancing from the rear and its speed stabilised near my position and then it tagged along with my position. All of a sudden I was stunned and spell bound you know why?

 Because I saw the famous movie star  "Karishma Kapoor"  smiling at me and waving her hand from that shining window at the rear left of the car.

She was so beautiful and charming with a flash in her eyes. I looked to my front and rear to confirm whether that smile was aimed at me or someone else and soon was convinced as no one was looking out of window of the bus either to my front or rear. I was thrilled. She kept smiling with her raised hand so I immediately reciprocated by waving my hand with a warm smile. I wondered why she did like this:  maybe due to my bright coloured turban which I wore that day which might have attracted her attention and she exhibited a goodwill gesture to impress me for gaining her image popularity which the stars generally do when they go out in public. Any way whatever may be the reason was not the matter which needed a thought and I only bothered about the fact that it had thrilled me due to this act of hers. Her lovely eyes with a sparkle, her fair cheeks, raised eyebrows and shining black hair with a maroon lipstick was all the matter which flashed into my mind again and again with the most important fact that it was live; face to face. Anyhow the car soon found a space ahead, zoomed overtaking our bus and vanished within seconds after that leaving only her thoughts in my mind. I wanted to immediately share it with someone but since I was travelling alone and all others were strangers so had to gulp this good news down my throat all alone till such time I reached home to share it with my dear ones.

Next few minutes I was in deep thoughts thinking why did she choose me to share her smile as she could have chosen a youngster of her age if she so desired and I also in excitement of the moment waved her back . How does she maintain herself so well even after being a mother? She really must be working hard to keep herself so fit and must be sacrificing her tastes of good food which we take without bothering much as they do. Life is indeed difficult for her and not as easy as it appears to be. What use is so much money if you cannot eat of your choice, cannot roam about freely in the streets and have Golgappas  at a corner of your choice as we do and  so many things which only a common man can do.

As I was thinking all this the bus turned to a corner and halted near a refreshing point where there were some shops selling cold drinks, potato wafers and tea. There were also some toilets for the transients of the bus.  I also got down and had a coke after which I went to relieve myself. Later when I was returning towards the bus I was surprised to see the beautiful image of karishma Kapoor which was painted on the side of the bus wherein she was giving a similar smile and waving her hand as I saw her in the car when she overtook our bus few minutes back. The hairstyle was the same, her eyes were the same , the colour of her dress was the same with the  same  lovely cheeks and same colour of the lipstick. Slightly ahead of her painted image was written

 "Always have Shakti Bhog Atta (Wheat flour) "

My mind was again in deep thoughts,

‘ How can this be possible?" I thought while boarding the bus after the break and quietly went and sat down on my seat before the bus could recommence its journey. As I sat on my window seat  a thought suddenly flashed in my mind and the whole mystery was unraveled within a fraction of a second.

Oh my God ! How foolish is this on my part  that I could not understand a simple law of physics. It was the reflection of her painted image on that navy blue car with a tinted glass as the image of her face fell exactly on the window of the car in such a way that it appeared to the observer that she glanced and waved at him.

Suddenly one more car overtook our bus from the same place when Karishma again smiled and waved me for the last time confirming that I was right but this time I did not wave her back with my hand but only smiled  and felt happy in my thoughts.

God bless your precious smile Karishma as the image of your smile has enough power to give so much joy to anyone and God only knows how much happy would a person be when he actually sees you smiling -----Live.
