The Lovely Stranger

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again, how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello? I've just got to let you know
Cos I wonder where you are, And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely Or is someone loving you….

Did anyone ever make you wonder and feel restless to uncover some mystery? Did someone ever seize your thoughts without as much of a word? Did anyone win your admiration without being around you or helping you? Well ,then you may not have observed anyone, you may not have wished to know that person, you were never looking at the inside of those eyes…… Many times we miss out the small details, small tit bits that let us know about a person, may be not in detail but still enough to admire the person, enough to like the person. Nazia is one such person…..The first time I saw her, I thought she resembled my would-have-been-wife. But a clear snap and a week later I concluded both have very different looks, and still captivating. But no, I wasn’t trying to get into another one this time around…and a long distance with a stranger, nah! But still I did keep sending her messages, asking her about the going’s on in life, albeit she never let me take a peek in to her life. By one of her close pal’s words I did infer she had gone through the pain she never was meant to. Or maybe she was meant to, coz as I feel God lets only those people face pain and feel the harshness of life who can sustain and endure the suffering that befalls with it. Not because HE likes to see the person suffer but HE conducts something like a QC check, so that the next time, he can put the right blend and make a better human being. Or maybe through one person, HE wishes to convey the message as to how we need to conduct ourselves.

The QC check apart, this lady in question or rather the answers, came to be a part of my life without ever trying to. Coz as I saw her I could see the happy side of me, the sunnier side of life. I was just trying to be happy, to cover the sadness my HEART was feeling the crumble it felt. But she came along and without a word of LOVE or appreciation, without even ever asking me for friendship she became a good friend……Friend is someone who keeps u in good spirits, criticises you when you do wrong and praises when u do good. She’s been around me to do all that….just like my other friends, if not more than them. I still couldn’t figure out what had ‘bothered’ her and I would never ask her, cause anything that shouldn’t have happened but has happened is better to be forgotten and to be overcome. As I send her another message I just see her flashing that lovely smile over her shoulder, and I say… there she makes my day bright and sunny again, and so I wish her everyday is bright colorful and a blessing for her!
