An Encounter

I am not beautiful or good looking but that's okay... I don't wanna be an eye candy rather I would love to be a soul food.

Recently I was out at Kalimpong on 31st September with my friends when we accidentally met a foreign couple whom I would really like to remember as #EmbellishedCouple as they were fighting over the meaning of the word embellished and came to us to clear their doubts. Well, there fight ended and we ended spending 2 hrs together and sharing drinks. Its fun to suddenly crash with sudden strangers, it helps you to see a different side of the world. Well they were just married and their age was around 40 and 35, an old age to get married as per our culture for sure.. but they took their time. What surprised me even more about their relationship was that they met at Tinder which is a very famous dating app but equally scandalized too. Anyways, the more I knew them I was even more surprised. I got to know that they were on a one-year honeymoon trip right after their wedding and they had plans to travel 26 countries during this one year. Well, it's really sort of a dream goal for a lot of people like me... I mean just imagine a one-year long honeymoon trip to 26 different countries isn't it amazing.. but it equally takes a strong heart to take such a big step.. just leave your current life and everything and plan to travel.. its a really difficult thing too. I mean we can't stop time.. and after a year we might have to restart everything from where we left or even before.. but I do feel its worth the experience it's gonna give.. though the big thing is not everyone can afford such dreams...

Anyways coming back to the point after 2 hrs of our interaction the couple made some comments on all 4 of us, like our first impression on them. The couple called two of my friend as really beautiful woman, the third friend as having an amazing personality.. but when it came to me they said that I am a very strong intelligent girl.. there remark made me think about it I mean just 2 hrs of time and such a compliment.. was it an honest one? Was this what people get to know about me in my first encounter? I was sure a bit jealous that I wasn't called beautiful. I mean nobody thinks am beautiful and that's bad for any girl.. but then I realized that actually I never wished for that compliment too... and I know even if they had said that I wouldn't have considered it seriously...

I mean, I know myself and I know am not a beautiful looking girl but yes the remark they made that's something I have always wanted to be.. a strong independent intelligent girl.. and if someone can know that in 2 hrs of interaction. I feel like I am on the way for what I have always wanted to be.. yes I wanna be a soul food.. someone with whom you can talk about anything and know that she will understand and give you the right opinion about things. Someone strong and bold enough to stand up for things she believes in... But at the same time someone who is understanding and caring.. and emotional.. because everything cannot be completely understood if you lack emotions.. ahh.. that was a wonderful remark. Thank you so much.
