2 days ago, I was doing my documentation work in a kopitiam...sitting there from 9.15am till evening. But during lunch time, I walked over to another restaurant nearby for a quick slurp of porridge and some side dishes. As I felt like being a herbivore on that particular day, I chose non-meat & non-fried dishes.
As the tables are quite full, I just picked one randomly and sit. It happened that I sit with a woman in her 50s I guess.
"Wow, you are really health conscious don't you?". Said the woman with a friendly tone while looking at my dishes.
"Yeap, just felt like being a horse today, hungry for grass! But at times, I do enjoy some delicious-garbage-type of food." I answered without thinking that we are strangers at all.
She laughed and we continue chatting about health, food & whatever that satisfy our tastebuds & stomach!
No motives, no communication skills, no manipulations, no analysis, no complications & no condemnations....
Just pure "no-brainer-empty" talks!
I was quite tired & stressful that day but that "stranger" helped in soothing the heat of my life by just being a casual friend. Sometimes we don't necessarily need a close buddy to talk about stuff.....just a casual acquaintance will do! Well, we talked & talked & talked until I finished my lunch.
Finally, we say Goodbye & we left without knowing names, address, phone number or any handshake!
In the era of Facebooking, Sms..ing, Tweeting & Youtubing, sometimes it can't replace the warmth & friendliness of a conversation from a live human being. That's what Face-time is for.
Try it. Then you'll know Life is simply Good....
