There are fewer experiences in my long life to practically observe the shades in people's eyes!
The shades of various fluctuating emotions.
It has been a wonderful experience to behold in amazement.
As a country, we are a massive fan of TEA more, coffee less. For us, coffee almost always defines a special time, occasion, or momentum even though we do not plan things beforehand.
Though, these days, I drink coffee more than tea, but when I am with someone else, be it one or more, the time often turns into an occasion.
I wonder if it is because for coffee, we need to go to more than a "usual place/restaurant", with special price, decor, environment and atmosphere!
There will always be a special moment when we go to grab a coffee.
At least for me!
Take today for example.
My friend came from a rather far distance in the city and we were supposed to meet at our French language learning campus after a long time and have some chit-chat.
Then I heard from him there is an exhibition going on.
The theme was amazing for that, however, I wish to mention that although I am an enthusiast of arts and pictures, but I can hardly be defined as one of a kind.
Yet, still I find myself eagerly participating in exhibitions often regardless of my discerning capabilities. Well I can at least appreciate the efforts of the artist I guess, which made me wonder about them and what they were thinking while drawing those amazing pictures.
Anyhow, after watching it was a part to sit and drink something, where coffee gets the most votes.
That reminded me, there is a beautiful place I have recently discovered and wanted my dear friend to show it and in return a sweet treat from him, as he never says no to that sort of absurd plea.
And just as it is eventual, I had another moment to commemorate and ponder for a longer time.
Love.
Is an enticing and unresolved mystery to me. I have been yearning to fall in love with a man for almost all my life, yet remained successfully unexplored.
So when I see the dark, deep, colourful shades of love in their eyes, it makes me extremely curious to the point of being shamelessly nosy about every little content revolving around the context.
And unrequited-love beholds to a whole different level at that.
I have hardly seen any unrequited-love, to flourish in so many colours in someone's eyes, so satisfying, content to feel it with the fullest yet agonizing for not having into the life!
Because, as time has advanced, with technology I have been noticing, peoples' emotions are becoming shallower by the day, to be precise for the youth.
There are too many opportunities.
They fall too quickly, they move out even quicker.
They love so passionately yet fall out of love so easily.
They desire so much but are unaware of how much is given.
They are so prone to show-off the relationship so much while forgetting to catch their moments to cherish.
They are so engrossed into the surroundings that they often do not notice the main protagonist of the story is fading behind the surroundings, in the background.
Amidst that, when I saw him expressing the unyielding love and unrequited-love at that, with the shades of eyes, with the ups & downs of the tone, breath, stained the colors of love in the fold of his countenance....
I was mesmerized.
I was taken aback in awe at how sweet a mans' love can be knowing there is no reciprocation!
How deeply agonizing can it be for it to be helpless but cannot help but only fall again and again.
How mesmerizing for such a man of culture, to all of a sudden, experiencing such a stormy heart at such an unexpected time, towards such ambiguity.
Only to hear from him, "what can I do, Mou! It just is impossible not to fall in love with her!"
Coffee times are rare here!
Affording a delicious coffee in a beautiful atmosphere, where one can be all cozy and enjoy a sweet time amidst the bustling chaos of life is rarer.
Perhaps, that is why, all those coffee moments become a sweet memory for me.
I wholeheartedly wish for this man to have someone, who will love him the way he loves and cherishes.
