It was beginning of monsoon and
the afternoon was cloudy. But a couple rode happily on a bike braving the unfavourable
weather. They stopped by the road at a point which was a scenic spot. A distant
mountain was half-hidden by the clouds. The sun was not visible. But there was
enough light to click a photo. The wife took out the mobile phone to take a
photograph of her husband. At this time I happened to pass them. Ordinarily I
would never have taken an interest in such a situation but that day I thought to
move out of my comfort zone. The couple were complete strangers to me. However,
I stopped by them because I had to go out of my comfort zone. I asked the lady
for her mobile. Both the man and the wife were startled for a while. Obviously
the lady was reluctant to hand me her mobile. Now I had to smile and tell, “Ma’am,
please do not think that I am going to snatch your mobile. I just want to click
a photo of you both so that you can preserve the memory of your togetherness
forever.” The woman blushed and the man smiled at me. I clicked their
photograph, shook hands with the man and left them with a bye-bye gesture.
That afternoon for sometime a
smile lingered on my face. I moved out of my comfort-zone and at the same time
I expanded its limit too.........
