The 2851s

It takes smallest of gestures to make a day of ours.. We never do realise this fact until we have seen one... and once we do.. we observe , acknowledge and then relish . I was once privilaged to all three.. and here I am after a looong lay off to share the experience..
It was a day just like any other.. As i was returning from my college ( a place where i go with the sole intention of justifying my existance) I was driving my bike as i always do.. detahced from reality..( thus increasing the probability of me NOT returning home in one piece) TRust me it was a day of sheer commonplace , of routine and nothing else.
Before i proceed further it is essential for me to make a confession . My favourite fourwheeler (AFFORDABLE) Happenes to be the HONDA ACCORD . Not juts beacuse its a honda but also because its an accord. And its resmblance to an aircraft just helps the matters even more. So having given you this knowledge i can proceed.
Now as the archeoligical dept was digging up road no:1 Banjara Hills , and i was avoiding certain death traps... there was a charcoal black ACCORD infront of me..
And something caught my attention inspite of my passivity.. initially i thought itwas so because it was an ACCORD then my eyes fell on its number plate the number was 2851.. had seen it somewhere... and before my ruddy processor could furnish furtehr info the signal was green.. and the usually anti-apertheid hyd-baadis followed course (they somehow mange to see the colour green pretty well) .. and then i realize my bike number was too a 2851. And then as reflex to a stimuli i accelrated overtook the car and as providence had it the signal at the next crossing was red . ( soem ppl feigned colourblindness now .. and some followed nelson mandela) As fgor me i tried to frantically to make an eye contact with the ACCORD driver. Now this man was speaking on his cellular phone . My attempts did succed . I pointed towars my number plate .. and he cut the fone .. he was worried he had hit me.. and made an apologetic gesture.. i again pointed to my number plate ... and this time his face lit up...
He made a gesture which implicates wonderful ( index and thumb finger making a circle ) and then saluted me.. i returned the compliment saying..his car was osssum or rather osssssssum . we smiled... i turned thinking all this was to good. and then light turned green and we proceed.
I suspected i would make a fool of myself in the course of dumbcharates.. But on the contrary the mild mannered , well dressed executive, not only acknowledged my effort but also responded in the finest of ways resulting in me cherishing the moment..
It may not seem much to readers who might read this... But for me it was "an extra " in the commonplace ... and as holmes puts it such stuff is an embellishment of life and not a condition for it.. how true .. may GOD bless the guy
