We were holidaying in Goa. In the hustle
bustle of everyday life, we hardly get to spend quality time with anyone. So this
was an attempt at that with friends. After a lot of planning, everybody had
managed to give a common date. And here we were finally sitting under the sun,
on the sands, besides the water. No tabletop loaded with papers, no peer
pressure, no boss lurking around. Only sheer fun, relaxation and hearty talks.
For the past 2 days I had been noticing Pallavi getting angry over Dev for
every little matter. They had been going around for 3 years now, a long time to
develop understanding and mutual respect. When I couldn’t restrain myself from
asking, I asked Dev why he bothered to keep with Pallavi’s temper every now and
then. Why he doesn’t talk her out of it. He simply said, “Its more of a habit
to her than any act at disrespecting. She lives with so many of my faults, can’t
I live with one of her.”
“But she is Always frowning yaar.”
“To me, her frown is fairer than smiles of
other maidens.”
“I smiled, patted his back and moved
towards the waters to join the others.”
