Chilly December night and the things around were just getting young, sitting in the open greens around a bonfire; I was lazily enjoying my drink and beautiful people around. The setting was a farm house in the out skirts of Delhi. Soaking the relaxed ambience with a live band performance and talking my mind to people around my eyes fell upon a tall beautiful lady certainly not from our country, she was wearing a sari and was carrying it pretty good too, enjoying her orange juice with Smirnoff and talking to people perhaps she knew. Our eyes met and we exchanged smile. Now we all know people from far off countries are always warm and friendlier in nature. And then I strolled down to dining area and munched a few, without thinking of the pretty lady much!! Suddenly I heard a voice from behind “Alok I want to make you meet some special guests we have here, she is KiM from Finland” along with Kim were her two friends a gentleman from Finland and a gorgeous lady from Russia. A truly Indian friend of mine with me was more than glad to meet the beautiful people, meeting whom he felt himself more than lucky, we shook hands and we exchanged glares once again, and this truly Indian friend of mine kick started the conversation as one of the Star News Reporter …..so how do you people feel being in India, how do u feel wearing ethnic Indian wears, you people are from a peaceful country and blah blah blah, I was just looking at Kim, tall, addictively beautiful and oozing a radiant smile, and then we strike a conversation about what all places she can see in India, how long she is going to stay here, and that she also belonged from advertising was more than heartening to know. And we talked about advertising in general and it came to me that situations are similar all over the world, we cracked jokes about life, we laughed on some PJs I shared with her, and I have just started loving her beautiful persona and fabulous style, she also shared some humor which were more or less same as we Indians find being circulated among us and this was also good to know people across the world think similar and have a common perception about things, I was falling for this beautiful company every minute every second and talking sharing and laughing looking into her beautiful eyes. And then suddenly a shrill voice from behind “Alok have you forgotten you are with us?” My!! My!! how can one avert the prying eyes of one’s wife? So reluctantly I moved away for a photo-do as the last part of the event!! And I said bye bye Finland!! Welcome roads back to my home!!
