Short Encounters With Sweet Strangers
Have you ever had a nice long chat with a sweet stranger? I love those unexpected encounters that turn out to be a lovely conversation with a stranger. Free from prejudices as well as judgments. Be it an exchange of stories or personal experiences, your view on a topic, or simply something more about each other. An old musician at the bus stop, a photographer at a bench in the city, and a retired tailor man on the train, just to name a few. I gotta admit many of these encounters happen at a public transport related location haha. And I also find many taxi drivers to be very chatty people. Some ask a lot of questions, some love talking about their family esp their offsprings, one even gave me advice on marriage hahaha! But what I can conclude from my observation is that many of them are very funny and/or wise. Anyway, i like these moments of pure honest exchange of thoughts where you don't have any pressure to please with what comes out of your mouth because they don't judge and most probably won't be seeing you again. So enjoy those 20minutes or so in the cab! I do :)
