A lot can happen over a coffee

True this was a awesome lonesome day as I mentioned ..... So I picked up my lappy and moved to the nearest but busiest Cafe Coffee day outlet. Started off checking my emails, responding to pending emails from old contacts, chatted with couple of people. As I was doing that I was observing a couple, ( Ah! Tell the truth, OK OK girl was cute, Guy I don't care) . They were on a table right in front - I had checked her when they walked in.

I managed more than couple of glances at girl (do I need to describe her, well fair, petite, ovalish longish face... good looking overall).

Suddenly, I heard Awwww and lo behold waiter spilled glass of water all over the guy trouser, table, I guess some over the food too. They both just got up and decided to move to the table just next to me. Good for me I could see her more closely, felt like god listens -he just wanted her to be closer so that I can see god's creation and praise him.

Ever did this? ... There is this nice girl , just like girl next door, pretty face around you. You sure are interested but don't want to make it too obvious so first thing I do is flap my ears and adjust in her direction .

Basically, you sit there trying not to look at her, just plugged-in to listen what she says and to interpret meaning and try to understand her..... but all of sudden you realize you are not getting the words coming out of her mouth, you look up like a cow chewing fodder surveying field for danger, only difference is that you contract your retina reflecting suspicion on her intention and checking "If she is an alien ?" or "Is she doing this deliberately" or "What happened to her word formation?" You dont want to think that she can speak another language.

Slowly truth dawns that she is speaking a different language, but you still think she can speak in English but she choose not to. Anyway you have never left things unfinished, you say to yourself let's keep looking at her because you are self professed master of lip reading and you claim to have understood what girls usually talk about.

( Anyway they dont have too much variety in subject/topics but they do have range/style when it comes to articulation of same subject, especially the initiation part, its amazing how they can start the same topic in so many different ways - its like Delhi auto driver taking you to connaught place from Railway station from as many different ways.
I can write a book on that topic, e.g how evolution has adapted men to handle this - Say a guy new in relationship, he hears every small talk of his girl because the way girl starts off, lights up a feeling of aha! he complements himself what a girl, she is so unique. Over the time ( 6 months into the relationship) he realizes its the same thing, that she usually talk about- there he switches ON an evolutionary circuit that allows him to look interested but at the same time make him capable of thinking everything else in the world - some men master the technique to switch off as she comes to the point... thats it I Digressed too far)


Imagine all this going on in my head and suddenly I hear awwwwww.. cling clang! NOW WHAT , Waiter dropped silverware on the table which fell on the guy and both of them pushed back a little anticipating another fallen tumbler of water over them. Mercifully nothing else fell.

I looked at her and yup I guess she was looking for words and I being chivalrous did the honors by saying "Dude you are Jinxed" .. Dunno about the dude, but I and Dudette had a hearty laugh ... he he
True, a lot can happen over a Coffee...
