Could we still be polite in the moment?
It was very early morning and I was travelling in the train and here I got strapped by a lady. As a natural emotion, my eyes started probing for this wonderful person. I see the beautiful young lady standing next to me. The lady again pushed me with a scary look to make more space for herself to stand. Failing to understand and quick to react I immediately gave her a ditto look. Ah, sounds terrible I know! To our bad, we got down to the same stations. Again somehow, starring each other with those tough looks though beautiful eyes, I suppose, we managed to part our ways.
Cut two, I see the lady standing next to me in the corridor area of my newly joined office first day. Failing to understand the irony of incidents, I managed to greet her hello, she was decent enough to acknowledge and smile through.
Cut three, we are sitting in pantry area having our lunch where-in randomly we managed to speak to each other thru some common friends. The conversation went so deep that even after lunch we were speaking to each other. Suddenly, those scary eyes made more sense and showed stories of heartache, tough looks paved as strength to never loose and survive.
Hence, proved everyone is fighting the battle we least know about! Least we can do is to be gentle, polite and humble to our best and leave the rest. As they say, being gentle is only a sign of strength!
