Snowflakes In Delhi




Because it snowed and who'd have thought.

Flakes of sheer cold, parked on everything there was. Eyes wide open, gleaming like a never ending stream of sparkling white. She tripped over her steps, and fell on the cotton-like pavement snow, because who'd have thought! The colors that were only bursting till yesterday were now peeking through that white, a little taken by surprise yes, but quite liking the veil of anonymity.

The usual buzz of the city was now watching what couldn't have ever been! She strained to hear them, strained to hear anyone surpass this outlandish occurrence. And when she didn't, it was really true.

Did he know?

Their city was tucked peacefully in a white blanket of an almost-prophecy. Weren't they together then and wasn't it happening now?

She wanted him to hear of it from her, she wanted this snow to be for their sake only. Nothing could overshadow that moment that was, for once, bigger than them both. Bigger than all that had spurred past, bigger than what tomorrow might hold. Or so she reckoned.

Because it snowed and who'd have thought.
