Love!

This 'evergreen' incident happened in a train. I was travelling from my hometown Dharmapuri to Salem in a passenger train when this beautiful scene happened. I felt really fortunate to have been born in Tamil Nadu after witnessing this!

I was seated with my grandfather. Seated opposite to us was a very old couple - the man could have easily been around 75 and his wife (so graceful, u could see the love she had for him behind all the wrinkles) may be around 70 (Tamilians, so some age difference at least). The man, typical tamilian, big spectacles, wrinkles, probably from the southern parts of Tamil Nadu. He was reading 'குறையொன்றுமில்லை' written by மூக்கூர் லக்ஷ்மி நரசிம்மாச்சரியார். (Yeah, I remember it all!)

After a long read, he showed a paragraph that he liked ... to his wife. She gave a great heavenly smile and read the paragraph (with him) and they had a smile together. She gave the book back to him and he started to read again!

The பாட்டி started to look somewhere else again!

And I have remembered this incident ever since...

"Happily ever after!"
A fantastic lesson about true love... indeed!
