Observance

I really like observing people around me. Whether I'm on the streets or on a public transport, I really like to look at people. See what they're doing, try to guess how their day went, wonder what's going on in their minds at the moment, why are they out and where they are heading to.

And sometimes, just by observing them silently, you can discover a lot of things. Their expressions, their voice (if you're lucky enough to hear them speak), their likes and dislikes etc. There are a lot of things about someone that you can discover, if only you put in effort to.

And it doesn't always have to be through conversations to get to know each other you know? Sometimes silence is a better mean of communication than talking. You will discover so much more beyond what talking will bring you. And most of the times you hear the most through silence.

Walking down the streets today, I observed couples. How they held hands, how they conversed, how they smiled or frowned at each other, how they walked, whether their steps were synchronized or not, how they were dressed.

And I found myself feeling very happy. I guess I was happy for them. That they had someone who love them enough to want to be with them. That they had someone who'd look into their eyes and smile genuinely. That someone would hold their hands and walk down streets. That they had someone whom they could talk to forever.

I felt the happiness and bliss just by walking past them. And it was really amazing.
