Serendipity

On my way to Chennai
I travelled with a fellow traveller
Just a stranger
Polite.
I helped him bring down his  ag and that was that
Today I hear someone say
Hello mam
It was him!
He was happy I recognised him
Brahmin guy
I said we both have had very short trips
Said he didnt sleep at all
Then we went our separate ways

Smiling at one another across our different queues
And now I find myself scanning the seats for him
Ah well
