I was waiting for the lift and as it arrived, I stepped into it. I found a foreigner in. As we proceeded to the ground floor he greeted me and asked me how my week-end was. He supossedly had spent it listening to classical rock, did a bit of driving, had a tough time finding parking space at Brigade Road and on the whole thoroughly enjoyed the week-end. And all this talking happened between the 4th floor and the ground floor. Made me wonder as to how easy it is to communicate with strangers. All it takes is just a warm smile and a 'hello'. It makes the beginning of a Monday morning good with pleasant things happening.
25 minutes later, I was waiting for auto. An auto stopped and onto it boarded a lady of who appeared to be in her early twenties. The autowalla agreed to take me also as we had to proceed in the same direction. I thought of initiating a conversation and proceeded to ask her where she was geting off, where I was getting off. And then it stopped. My attempts did'nt materialise.
She just bade agoodbye as she got off.
Made me wonder why we become stiff in front of strangers!
