The bus screeched to a halt at the Pavate Nagar stop and the people waiting at the door got down. I was busy thinking of the "Monsoon Conversation" session I was to have at school with the U. KG kids... The conductor shouted out his Rigghhtta...! and that's when I suddenly shot out of my seat and out of the door, much to the chagrin of the other passengers and the irritation of the conductor, who even shouted after me- "Idu Hindi Prachar Sabha stop allri...!!"
Without turning back to answer, with a sheepish grin on my face and a mischevious glint in my eyes, I raced to meet my erudite muse... Well, it was such a lovely morning and how could I not begin my day without a short visit to the University Campus ! I knew I could sneak in a few minutes and still be there in time for my session...
I managed to make the most of the whole twenty minutes that I'd sneaked in and just when it was time to say, "See ya..." and I stepped into the cool shade of the porch at the main entrance, I spied these interesting shadows. One moment there and the other gone, as the sun played peek-a-boo with the welded metal grill and the the parked bikes...The crisp shadows flitting on the floor and on the bright red post box were so interesting that I allowed myself an allowance of another five minutes.
Well, being the Coordinator of the school does have its advantages... :)
