The Guy whom I met on Highway

 

Wait, Wait, Wait, one second, I think he is saying "Hi" to the beautiful girl seating in my side way car. Don't look there stupid, I said to myself, unnecessarily you will make fun of yourself. But again after two minutes I saw him saying "hi" and I inklingly doubted may be he is saying "Hi" to me.

And then what, like the way its shown in the movie, I felt like thousands of butterflies are flying in my stomach. Even though I tried hard to hide it, those feelings were clearly visible on my face. 

The very next moment I controlled myself and said 'Hello' back to him looking outside my car window and with a smile. To my surprise, the handsome dude was greeting everybody who was passing by his car and inquiring them with a smile. 

This happened last month, In summertime we usually go for small treks or sometimes simple walk on weekend. We enjoy outdoor activities so generally don't miss a chance of a good weather. 

On one fine summer day, we went for trekking on a mountain. After the trek we were late reaching down the mountain and it was post afternoon, we were tired and hungry. It was one and half hour drive back to home so we settled inside the car and got comfortable to have a quick nap. Within 10 minutes of our drive we were caught between a traffic jam and long queues of cars on the highway. 

Cars were moving forward slowly but in lane. The complete environment was sluggish and boring. we were irritated and anxious. At this time we saw this guy doing something crazy and something interesting. 

He had taken his head outside the car window and he was greeting everyone who was passing by the car with his hand held high in the sky and a big smile. The receiving person was also responding back to him with same enthusiasm. It was a small gesture but it made people happy, although for a short period of time it was bringing a smile on peoples face. 

Suddenly I remembered, when I used to travel in train as a kid, I used to wave hand to passengers standing on the station whenever the train started from its station. I use to wave hands to nearby people while doing boating and it was giving me a lot of pleasure. In the race of going forward and backward that person goes beyond my eye sight in 10-15 min. But he changed my whole perspective and freshen up my mood. And the thought kept occupied my mind for the whole day. If we decide we can make even the boring journey in a beautiful experience. 

At the end, its the little things in life that matters the most. They make our life so special and more beautiful. And when we look back at our life we remember those moments only, isn't it ?

I would also like to hear about your special memorable moments as well in the comments😊..
