SHINAKHT!

A few days back I saw a person hurriedly calling out to his friend passing by in a vehicle, as it turned out that person was his friend. But the interesting part was that the friend he called out was wearing a mask. As in, a thin towel covered a good part of his face and shoulders, which made him perfectly unrecognizable. I was waiting for a bus and started thinking. Would I be able to recognize a friend (If I knew he would be around in the same city)? And the most incorrect of examples flashed in my mind. The first one was Gaurav.. well I would recognize him since he is bald (jokes apart!) Kshitij, of course he is as tall as a giraffe, I’v spotted him on a railway station in Delhi. Pankaj, well u know he is on the darker side with oily hair. Ajit for his spects and chubby fingers and Karn for his long neat hair.

The point is that the brain and eyes establish little signposts for themselves to recognize people you really are close too. It won’t take you even a nanoth of a second to decipher the look in the most creative of camouflages.

The point is not even that, its just that its been so long since I’v seen u guys…
