The Girl with a broken smile...

10/05/2010

This happened today morning on my drive to office. I was in
my cab
and in KR Puram, which is notorious for its bottle neck
traffic jams!
I would do anything, just to see that road devoid of
traffic :)

We were just crossing the bridge when there stood a girl,
hardly 10
yrs old in the middle of the road... The road was congested
with
heavy vehicles, and she stood there right in the middle
with a pot in
her hand a broken smile fainting across her lips... She
looked rather
like a mustard seed amidst the mayhem. Dressed with zero
dainty,
rather dressed in rugs, with no footwear, her hair wanting
a wash
badly(real badly !), there was nothing spectacular about
her looks,
but she had a very faint smile which was surprising! The
traffic was
like hell, there were vehicles honking all around her, and
she was
absolutely in the middle(i dunno how the hell she got in
there alone,
on the first place) and there she stood smiling... and
gestured my
driver to stop so that she can pass by... My driver is a
scumbag and
is quite infamous for his arrogance. But trust me, the guy
halted and
allowed the girl to pass through! I looked at him in
suprise for
having proved that he still has a miniscule amount
of "human-factor"
left in him!

A smile, just that smile and that did the charm!
