This note had it's birth on a train journey back from one of our Saturday hikes.My mind usually wanders through topics ranging from what's for dinner to what is the real meaning of life during such exhaustive journeys.That day, I went digressing from thoughts about food to thoughts on the women I shared the trip and from there to all the beautiful women I've met.
Hence this random bits about some of my favourite women/girls jotted down on a mobile app a few weeks back.
.......
To me, she looked 8 or at most 10 years old.I will probably never know her enough to write lines that can fully contain her kindness or thoughtfulness. When she came running with water and painkiller sprays, to a stranger me that barely spoke any of the languages that she did, she restored my faith in humanity.Much more than all those videos on YouTube did.I hope that her big heart grows bigger with age, so that more strangers get their faith in humanity restored on a trip to Porto Cristo.
.......
As I laugh on her 'joke' about the one time she took her lenses off and couldn't find her glasses, I couldn't help but admire her for everything that she's achieved.I am in awe of the way her eyes light up when she speaks about her favorite sport..When life gave her lemons, she made lemonade with it,used the energy to play her favourite sport and excel in it .The guilt that I feel when I unnecessarily whine about infinitesimal pain in some part of my body, I owe that to her.
.......
She's the proactive big sister, but not just to her siblings.The one that could don a mountain bike and a dress with equal grace.Each time she puts her messy hair up in a bun and fixes things for you ( from food to bikes and relationships), I promise you'll fall in love with her.
........
One of them, I have known since the days when we wondered what sanitary napkins were for.The other I met while I was busy pretending to be an adult.To me,they live similar,parallel lives on two different parts of the globe.In a world that tells you that you are less of a woman for the way you chose to live and love.They live the life of their choice unperturbed by 'log kya kahenge'.
........
More power to all of you, please continue to inspire me!
