REceivings

How would you define an onset of a day throwing surprises at you one after the other? A bouquet of happiness? Ummm, let’s decide that later! To begin with, it was another regular busy morning, hurrying for my university classes. Since awakening, if there’s any track on my mind, it was Shreya Ghoshal’s reprise version of Kabhi Jo Badal Barse, a soothing Bollywood number. Contrary to the fact that I’m not its regular listener, this morning I discovered myself humming it, bits and pieces, once and again. On getting out, ear-pluggs grooved appropriately, sadly found the track missing on my playlist. No time to sob! Waving my hand, the bus halted to offer me a window seat. Wallah! Co-incidences do happen. And an amazing one this time. The bus got a music system, and it played the same same similar track! Quickly removing the plugs off my ears, I curved my happiness. Suddenly the driver applying his brakes,  compelled the passenger sitting to my right dash hard against me. Oh! Too hard that dashing was. The tiny soft hands on my face with the soft curls bushying on my neck, tickling my skin with profound happiness. Aaw, it’s a baby girl sitting on her mother’s lap. Compositing ourselves as passengers, the diamond eyes kept staring at me, while she cunningly made attempts to get a hold of my cellphone. Don’t wanna remember who’s ride was the shorter one, but those moments together, attributed to my happiness. What better can one expect from life on a regular day? Pricelessness actually lies in simplicity and is sprouted with unexpectations. Well, that’s my kind of pursuit of happiness.
