Kabhi Alvida Kehnaa

Chickmagalur is a tourist place, one of the perks of staying in a tourist place is we get to experience various languages and cultures at the compound of our own home, hypothetically speaking, doesn't mean standing exactly inside home compound. That being said, I was waiting for my bus and I was few minutes too early. It's December aka winter, so there's a high chance of your kids asking you permission to go on school tour. I was waiting for my bus, having coffee, noting down important tasks that I have complete today and etc, I was in completely different zone and while I was in that zone, a big travels bus full of kids passed by and it kinda slowed down near my stop because of the traffic. Kids, as you already know, are full of energy and enthusiasm, two of them in the bus were peeking at me and waving bye to me. I don't know them, they don't know me, and get they were waving alvida at me and it kinda confused me. They waited for many few seconds and the bus started moving and they were still waiting and waving me and then I kept my coffee glass aside and waved them back. They burst out smiling that I waved them back and waved again with more enthusiasm. That brought smile on face, and I went on ahead with a smiling face and then I was interrupted by shopkeeper saying, "Saar, Bill?!" I snapped back to reality, paid my bill and we moved on, as Oliver Tree song goes, "Life goes On"
