Salt and Pepper...!

A candid chat - a page from my dairy...

Me: Sometimes there are situations which make you uncomfortable - like I was in a few months back when there was a guy dancing in front of me, with his first 4 buttons of the shirt unbuttoned, exposing a nice toned body. Since he was taller than I am, even after I wore a 2.5 inches heel (I am 5.5') - I couldn't help but look right into his shirt whenever I raised my eyes. For strange reasons, looking into his face was even stranger.

Person: Why was it an uncomfortable situation? You should have taken advantage...

Me: Advantage? What do you mean?

Person: As in if that was something you liked or may have liked, you should have taken advantage of the situation.

Me: Why would I do that? And I did not like it or may have liked by the way.

Person: And why would that be? Because of your status? Or the fact that you feared it?

Me: None perhaps. I wouldn't indulge in any such fun. By the way, have you ever?

Person: What?

Me: Indulged in such fun?

Person: Such fun?

Me: Forget it. Obviosuly you wouldn't tell me that. It was a silly question to ask and so ignore it.

Person: If you meant 'if I have had moments with women....the answer is no, not typically.

me: Hmmm..ok

Person: But there have been exceptions - one or 2...so there...

Person: Candid enough?

Me: Yes, very candid.

Me: Do you regret it?

Person: No

Me: Hmm...you know what, you are the kind of person I would want to go out for a walk along a beach-side on a winter sunny afternoon and talk about life.

Person: Walk with me on a beachside?

Me: Yes and talk.

Me: Does it sound like a funny wish?

Me: Unusual?

Person: no, not funny. Unusual. Probably.

.....and so it ended. Another conversation of the numerous converstaions they had. Months and still at that. From mumbai blasts, to vacations to work to experiences of life. Everything but what they wanted. Was life that long to wait for the time when they talked about what they wanted? Perhaps yes. For them.
