Smile exchange

[peeyush]

6 months back, shashwati advised me to smile at strangers. I don't know how she concluded that me is not doing any such smiling business when dealing with strangers. Anyway, she is right. I found it pretty difficult to do until now. Today we (me and a small kid who was packed in a rickshaw with some 5+ kids) exchanged smile for a couple of seconds as our bus overtook that rickshaw on SV road. In fact we did it twice. First time, kid smiled first as the eyes meet. It was easier for me to return smile back. On next occasion I was ready with smile aiming to do lead role this time. He looked well prepared for this interaction too.

Boy, you make my day!

Today I understand what shashwati meant when offering this advise. Thanks to you too.
