Worth a wait!

Their last meet had happened almost a fortnight before. i.e. before the year end holidays. Varee was on a week long leave and returning to work on the first monday morning of the new year. He had made up in his mind that he would meet his new bus-stop friend today, No matter what! He had reached the stop much before her regular time of arrival, waiting at the bus stop there were many regular faces which passed around like any other day, some faces who knew him, peeking from the bus (may be wondering, aaj ye bus mein kyun nahi chadd raha). Varee's eye's were glued to the huge gate of Vikas Park, just across the road. There was a moment when a completely vacant bus stopped at the bus stop and Varee ran till the bus, but stepped back in time making his mind, not to board until he sees her today, its been a long time! A herd of college kumaris, came and stood at the bus stop, those too regular ones. Varee's eyes still stuck at the main gate. Suddenly there was a mid-40's female carrying a big smile on her face, with a cute lil girl wearing red frill frock standing right on the divider to cross the road hit Varee's eyes. Varee immediately smiled and moved a few steps ahead of bus-stop so that he can talk to her. Just when they both came closer, Varee bent on his knees, shook his hand with the lil princess and wished her a new year. His intuitions are so strong that he immediately asked her mom/aunt (the female in 40's), is it her birthday today? She replied yes, its her birthday! He again caressed her cheek and gave her wishes. Promptly she replied, thankyou uncle! Her mom/aunt told Varee, she asked the other day, "Woh uncle aaj kul dikhte kyun nahi?" The herd of girls, the TT, the pan shop owner, the taxi drivers, everyone were spectators of this pleasant meet and started smiling at Varee after the princess departed. Sometimes a few statements just make your day, no matter whom they come from, how long you know them! Infact, Varee doesn't know this girl's name neither she know's Varee's. This series of hi/hello/bye had started with a simple hi from Varee to the cute angel few months back. Infact he doesn't even know if, the other female is her mother or anyone else. Its a coincidence that Varee takes his bus from that stop and that kiddo stays right across the road and goes to her play-school at the same time. But whenever, they meet, it makes his day. And today was a special day as Varee didn't know it was her birthday but just because his mind made him to wait, he waited and it was worth a wait! Some days are just perfect!!!!!!!!

Would you be my Companion?

I have a dream to build a castle,
would you mind helping me build it for us?
I have a dream to plant a garden of happiness in that castle,
would you mind helping me sow the seeds?
I have a dream to knit a roof of faith over that castle,
would you mind helping me with the threads?
I have a dream of painting the walls with trust,
would you mind helping me choose the colors?
I have a dream of laying the foundation of the castle with honesty,
would you mind helping me build the pillars?
Though the journey with me would be in a roller-coaster bus;
there would be ups and downs, but it would ultimately bring the best of us!
All i need for this is you and your support,
so the ship of our life would land safely at the love-port!
