The Angel

I stepped into the Volvo, Route Number 333E really tired from working the whole day at the Institute. Fortunately the bus had only four passengers and I took a window seat and dozed off. A hard brake by the driver woke me and I opened my eyes to see an Angel sitting beside me. I immediately got conscious and straightened.
I sat there trying to look at her from the side of my eyes so as not to make her conscious of my stares. She had two tattoos, a star and a smiley at the back of her hand. Her every activity and movement would make me adore her even more. Then the bus stopped at a red light and she looked at the traffic light and said “green boy”. I said “yes and see there is a red boy over there”. I asked her if she knew what a red boy and a green boy meant. She didn’t, so I explained it to her and this is how the ice broke and we started talking.
I asked her what her name was and she said “Ananyaaaaaaaaaaa”. I asked her if she went to school, “yes”, she said, “I go to Vagdevi Vilas School as Vibgyor High is closed and I also go to Casio and drawing classes”. I asked her what she likes most she said she liked Casio.
Then I asked her what her age was she said she is 4 years old and she has 4 pink dresses and 4 blue dresses and that pink was her favourite colour. A song from 3 Idiots was playing on the radio. I asked her if she had watched the movie she said yes. I asked her who her favourite hero was she said no one they are all che che and then I asked her if she had a favourite heroine she said no she just likes songs. I asked her which song she likes she said Gimme some sunshine and Desi Girl.
We reached another traffic light and she said she knew a song on this too and started singing a nursery rhyme on the same and I joined in. Then we sang Twinkle Twinkle.. and then 1-2 Buckle My Shoes.. She didn’t know Chubby Cheeks.. So I taught her that one. And the whole bus was watching a 4 year old Angel and an almost 24 year old guy singing nursery rhymes at the top of their voice.
Then I asked her if she liked cricket she said yes. I asked her if you are going to watch India’s match. She said she doesn’t like India she likes Chennai. I was surprised that a Gujju girl living in Bangalore liking Chennai. I thought it might be the Dhoni effect. I asked her “don’t u like Bangalore?” “No.” “Why?” “Oh Chennai is so big” she replied. I was amused. I asked her isn’t Bangalore big too. She said "No the map of Bangalore is so small but the map of Chennai is really big". I guess someone should suggest B.S. Yeddyurappa to make larger map for Bangalore. Would make him more popular.

We followed it up with talks about food. She said she is a vegetarian and she doesn’t eat ganda ganda non-veg like fish chicken and DOG. She loved Pani Puri ssslllllllluurrrrrrrrrrpppppp. And her grand-ma had made it for her today.
I asked her about her tattoo’s she said her ma’m made them for her as she was a good girl. I said I thought u were a bad boy. She said she is not a boy she has long hair. I asked her if she was a good girl or a very good girl.. obviously a very good girl then I suggested asking her ma’m to give two stars and two smileys she said she didn’t want two as that would spoil her hand and it won’t look good. 
Then she said “u know what, my mom’s name is Smita, my ma’m’s name is Smita and my friend is also named Smita and my friend in dancing class is also named Smita. Isn’t it funny?”
Then it was the time for her to leave she got down with her mum and left.. But I was really excited when she looked back to wave me a goodbye. She was an Angel and she had made my day..
