It was a lazy saturday afternoon a couple of years back and I had just finished the day's work. As I was walking down the lane where my office was located at that time, I could feel a pair of eyes following my movements. For a few seconds, panic gripped me. Then as I gathered my wits, I saw a shadow fall across the street. Immediately I turned around ready to confront HIM. To my utter disbelief, in front of me stood a silver haired septugenarian with an enamel topped walking stick. He greeted me with an engaging smile and without much ado asked me whether I would like to play a role in a television serial. I was stunned to say the least and without pondering on the offer I refused him point blank. He simply nodded and went on his way. Life is short and I rarely look back. But till today, I regret that instantaneous decision. Had I been more composed, I could have taken him up on his offer. And then who knows maybe television would have found its newest star and I may have had a whole new life ! #shadow #downthelane #street #YQBaba #YQDada #penmandiary #shortstory #microtales #randomthoughts #scribbles #mydiary #trinayana #YQQuotes #YQtales
