Strange Language...!!
Travelling in a public bus after long was a nice experience. With people of diverse cultures,languages & origin, the bus was moderately filled. I grabbed a seat & across me was a lady,who passed a gentle smile as I sat.The bus drove ahead,she was sitting there & smiled back as I saw. When the bus stopped at next stop, she asked me something in her mother tongue but I was not able to decipher it. I mentioned -I didn't get it. She rested for a minute in a gesture like saying,forget it. Probably she didn't knew English or Hindi which I knew. I flicked my eyes in a questioning manner. Then she somehow managed to say "bus-stop name?".Even I didn't knew the exact name of the stop. I asked her that does she wants to get down here in Hindi. It didn't make any sense to her and she gave me blank looks. Then I thought lets try something else, I made hand movements for stepping down from the bus & guess what,she smiled back and just mentoned name of a stop. It was the she got down later.All this happened in few fractions of seconds in between when the bus had just stopped & moved. When I think, I feel at times we convey a lot by just gestures and not speaking anything. At times people try to say something to us directly but simply cannot. But they reflect everything from their movements...it can be any emotion...their anger, surprise or love for us. In this world, half of the beautiful emotions go unspoken...mentioned just by actions...!!
