An usual mundane Saturday night, and I had been listening to songs and happily singing (or screaming to anyone that hears me... haha) away.
Playing songs at random, I've been enjoying the last few songs that my player picks up. And here I am, smiling all through this song (Enakkoru Aasa by Teejay), and suddenly it dawns on me that I haven't enjoyed singing and smiling like this in a while. So, I start wondering when I was last so happy listening to songs like this...
May be a few times here in my room, but I recall the day that I had been on a short (really short) road trip (to nowhere) with someone I had then just known!
Well, he is not a total stranger but he wasn't someone I had known well enough to go on a road trip either. We had just met and that was probably our second or third meet? (God, I forget things so easily, anyways, not very relevant so I forgive you lady for that!). How I came to trust him so soon is a topic for another day but there I was, going for a drive without a second thought.
We were listening to songs then, and realized that both of us liked the same kind of songs, and we like to sing, and enjoy them better when we sing along :) [I swear I actually sing, but people hear it differently...haha]. And to our surprise, we started talking (you know what about) and in no time, we were laughing out about us :) We were so much alike emotionally (put me in his shoes, I'd have replicated his behaviour). The more he spoke, the more it felt like I was seeing myself. Like there was another soul that experiences similar life instances, and that thinks and likes and smiles for same reasons. It was an overwhelming feeling to realize that you can relate to someone so much like this, and vice versa.
That was a day with no agenda and no plan whatsoever, but left me (and him) with so much happiness, singing and driving away with no destination in our minds, talking about us, eating whatever we liked (oh yes, he is a foodie too) and sometimes wondering where exactly we were going!
PS: Wonder how a totally unrelated song can lead you into a stream of thoughts and leaves you with a smile!
