Safaid Darhi aur ghehri neeli ankhon walay ye baba ji ( shayed late sixties ) mein hongay apnay bhari backpack k sath mujhay aksar Post
office k aas pass nazar atay hain . Wo kabhi gariyon ki taraf dekh rahay hotay hain
kabhi ghour say zameen ka Jaiza laitay paye jatay hain ...Kuch mast malang type . Mein unkay pass say
bohat baar guzar chuki hon -He doesn't seem to look at me at all . Kafi ajib
see baat hai kiu kah I am the only “exotic looking female "around here
after all !
I mean kahnay mein kia harj hai :)
Pichlay haftay mujhay Lunch break mein walk karnay ka shouq
sawar hua to meinay socha mein iss walk k bahanay kuch groceries bhi lay Aoon. Mein sabziyan aur
phal uthaye wapis aa rahi thee kah meinay Baba jee ko phir post office k bahar
khara dekha - wo humaisha ki tarah kisi duur cheez pay nazar jamaye kharay
thay.. Aj baat kar k rahon gee inn say
, ye irada dil mein mazboot kia
aur unkay nazdeek a kah meinay unsay pucha --- Do you need anything sir ? Jawab
aya "No I don't need
anything" baray sakoon say unhon ney apna backpack dosray kandhay pay
muntaqil kia aur phir ghour say Zameen ko dekhnay lagay . Agar wo kehtay mujhay
bhook lagi hai ya paisay chahyen tou zaroor dey deti. Laikin wo baba Jee to
buhat "dignified " niklay bolay " I am a homeless person not a beggar , but thank
you for your concern " Meinay unhain "No problem " kaha aur chalna
shroh kar dia... sath he meinay apni Tashee bhi ki kah " Har Homeless
Druggie nahi hota “ --- Laikin such tou ye hai kah
saray Clarksburg k homeless -- Baba jee
jaisey bhi nahi hotay !
Ab kabhi guzartay
huay wo nazar atay hain tou aik shanasai ki mutual respect wali muskurahat
unkay chehray pay nazar zaroor ati hai
Halankah Baba jee buhat "aloof " type hain inn ko mein yad hon buhat bari baat hai warna wo tou kisi ki taraf Nazar utha kar bhi nahi dekhtay! Aur ye bhi mumkin hai kah ye sirf meri Khush fehmi ho !
