A FAMILIAR STRANGER
It was as if I knew her. She stood a few yards away from me, waiting for her train. No she was not a beauty queen but I felt drawn towards her. I tried remembering all the female figures I came across in my life, I thought maybe its because she resembles to someone, but found none.She was in her early 20's, pretty eyes and a polite face. Now, I am not a romantic fool, believe me. But this, I could not understand. I felt as if I have known her for a long time.
To add fuel to my sweet anxiety, I started playing a game in my mind. I tried figuring out the city she belonged to. It was hard as her looks didn't divulge anything regarding her location. All of a sudden, from no where the city name 'Ambala' got stuck in my mind. I was trying to think any other city but the final product of every iteration of my mind yielded the same result 'Ambala'.
Now, I was not going to Ambala and I didn't know where the next train was heading to. It was just a random pick for me. I looked at my watch, I succeeded in passing 15 minutes and still as per the announcement, I had to kill 1 more hour.
I thought, now why not guess her name too. It would be fun. Yes, for a moment I questioned my sanity but found it a better option than draining my mobile battery.
I looked at her intermittently trying my best not to creep her out, and started saying the alphabets in my mind. The moment I reached 'T', it was as if my mind applied the brakes. I just stopped there. I found no need to go further. 'T' I said to myself.
Next was forming a name with that. I have always believed, name reflects a person's personality. And this was the time to put my hypothesis to a test. 'Tanya' ? 'Tripti' , 'Tanvi' ? , I looked at her and tested various names starting with 'T'. As I was searching for the right name, I got a text from my friend Disha. It was as if I got the clue. I replaced 'D' with 'T' and there it was! 'Tisha'. Somehow this name seemed to fit her perfectly. For no reason I felt happy and proud of my newly explored talent.
I heard an announcement which stated train number something something is arriving at platform no. 6. Yes I was at platform 6.
It arrived. I saw her frantically adjusting her luggage ready to board the train. I looked at the train's name, 'Swaraj express'. Wait a minute, I knew its route. It starts from Bandra and goes to.... Ambala!
For a moment, I was a bit stunned but then the rational me stopped the idiot me from thinking rubbish. The train stopped and people were getting out of it and simultaneously people waiting to aboard that train were rushing in. Trains do murder our common sense. Amid the chaos and crowd, I lost her sight and she was no where to be seen. I tried searching her nearby but to no avail. In front of me were two coaches - B1, B2. I thought, maybe she was in one of them. It was already 10 mins and the train was about to leave. I wanted to talk to her once. I wanted to ask her name, and the place of her residence. I wanted to know her for no reason. I regretted my decision of wasting my time in guess-game. I should have directly approached her, in the worst case scenario she would have shouted a loud and me getting beaten up by passer by. But she was out of my sight now.
Every decision we take, no matter how small it is, changes the course of our life, shapes it. To every situation there are infinite possibilities but we pick one. And that one decision we take, impacts other upcoming decisions of our lives.
The train was whistling aloud, people were saying goodbye to their loved ones, some smiling, some crying. And where was I ? I was helplessly gazing at the two coaches ahead of me. The train started moving, and in seconds took pace. I didn't know what I was doing or why I was doing it, but I started running parallel to B2. It was as if my life, one of the beautiful possibility was running away from me and I was chasing it. Running, I saw ahead of me for a moment, the platform was about to end. I had two choices- quit chasing or estimate my relative velocity and take a leap into the train.
The platform ended. But I didn't care, I was in the train. I soon arrived at a conclusion that I made the most irrational awkward decision of my life. I was perspiring and gasping for breath obviously, after such a long dedicated chase.
An elderly lady looking at my condition, offered me to sit. I instantly complied. I took out water bottle from my bag, but found it empty.
I was still having no idea what I just did. I had a sleeper class ticket in my left pocket and insufficient money to bribe the TTE and I was inside an AC coach. As I was trying to come up with some miserable explanation to offer to the TTE, I saw a hand offering me a water bottle.Without looking, I thanked that person gulped down half of it. I gained some awareness of my surrounding by then. Few elderly people were sitting next to me. They looked bored. I turned to my left to return the bottle to the person occupying the side lower berth. And yes, there she was! It was her again. I blanked out for a moment. But then I calmed myself down and thanked her yet again for the water. She smiled. I asked her ' where are you heading to? '
' I am going to Ambala, and you ? she inquired.
Me: It might sound a bit awkward, but is your name 'Tisha' ?
She: Who exactly are you? Do you know me?...

जिसपे हम मर मिटे, उसको पता भी नहीं,
क्या गिला हम करें, वो बेवफ़ा भी नहीं,
हमने जो सुन लिया, उसने कहा भी नहीं।

Sometimes people laugh at my dreams, my ambitions... I too join them in laughter.. because its actually funny, unless you know the mind numbing effort that I put forth daily.
Beware! because when you relax, I perspire.
