Chance Meetings..

"How much more time will it take to reach Kashmere Gate?", she just asked without any 'Excuse me!' or anything. 

"Fifteen more minutes", I politely answered and resumed to typing messages. 

"My phone's battery is going to be out in a few minutes, it's worrying me...", she explained like we were already having a long conversation that I was completely unaware of. 

You meet strangle people at strange places. I felt a little awkward for some reason, but then it was just another experience I thought. I offered her my power bank so she could charge her phone for some time till we reached the bus stand. That was about it all, and she continued talking for the rest of the way. By the end of the bus journey, I knew about her family, her college, her favourite food, and her plans for the next day. It was just totally bizarre. I am not used to meeting such over friendly people, and especially a girl, that too in a public bus. I just politely nodded at everything she shared, added bits of 'yes-es' and 'no-s' here and there, so I wouldn't come up like an egotist brat. 

That twenty minute long conversation led to me waiting with her at the bus stand, until her brother in law came to pick her up. I think it was just my quest for new experiences that turned the otherwise drab journey into something I hadn't expected.

After all, you meet strange people at strange places...
