When the heart smiles......yes, from the inside.

There is a little smile on my face, a smile that you get when you are amused, something like that.

I didn't notice it at first but, I realized it when I actually had something to smile about,
And guess what? I was already smiling, all the way along.

I am on my way home from work, riding on the streets of Pune, post the first rain of the season. People seem gloomy. Strange, eh.
They say, "Laugh and the world laughs with you". Untrue, apparently.

A cute Marwari aunty is waiting for the bus. I look at her and she glances back as if screaming, "What is wrong with you? Why are you smiling?"

Sure, it has rained for the first time this year.
Such a respite from the hell heat. It feels a lot cooler.
The entire planet seems greener.
Birds are more audible now.
I wait all the year round for this season.
And A smile is odd ?
At strangers, why is smiling odd, and keeping a bland straight face normal ?
I won't get it probably...
As 'someone' said, I am too immature for my age. Brains of a 3-year old, that I've got.
Never mind, she might be having problems in her life, much bigger than I have or had.
God bless you, cute aunty...
