The Perfect Guy

Yesterday, I was stranded in the heavy traffic under the scorching sun, irritated as I was, I started looking at the people around, trying to analyze what they were doing to spend the time wasted on the roads while waiting for the damned vehicles in front to move. There was an old man sleeping on the steering wheel on each halt. Wow tats neither good for him or the people around or interesting for me, I thought. Then my eyes landed on a cute girl, who was wearing nail polish in each signal! Now that’s what people call EFFECTIVE TIME UTILIZATION! Then finally my eyes landed on someone, and couldn’t move away after! I saw this tall young handsome guy, with tanned skin tone, with a well maintained body, I must say, with… how do I put it… uh.. really manly wrists and hands with nerves being seen conspicuously on them (he was wearing a full hand shirt, so could see only till his wrists, you see); clean shaven, nice haircut- not too short, not too long, not shabby, not oiled or gelled, just perfectly casual hair, sitting in an elegant posture in the passenger seat of a cab. There was something about his eyes. They were so beautiful, so sad, staring at an infinite point thoughtfully, oblivious to the burning sun or the noisy traffic. They were so warm and attractive that I just couldn’t look away! Then the traffic moved on and so did our respective vehicles, and we again halted at the same relative positions in the next few signals. I was here, trying not to look in his direction in vain, n he was there gazing at infinity, unaware of the real world screaming and honking around him. In one of the signals, his head jerked and he came to the present, and started looking around, trying to remember where he was and why, when whose beautiful thoughtful caught mine looking at him!!! I immediately swore at myself n looked away. In the next signal, I couldn’t resist one stealthy look to check if he was still in this world or went off to his own again. Shockingly, he was still in the present one, LOOKING AT ME, with a faint smile on his lips!!! Now wait! I am not really sure if he was in the present world or not. For all I know, he might have gone into tat floating world of his, n Incidentally, I might have been tat infinite point he could have been gazing! But before I could ponder more on this, his damn driver turned left in that fateful signal and my driver, who was infact my Dad, turned right. Well, cant really blame him, now can I? But thank God my Dad didn’t know about any of this coz otherwise, I m sure he would have decided to turn right way before that signal!!! :D

Aah well, atleast I got the chance to look at the ‘perfect guy’ for a few minutes, and got the proof that such guys DO exist in the non-model non-movie non-fictious world afterall!

  5. :) AV muses... No, I am not gonna take a dig at you. ;)

    Appa ku theriyame nalla sight adichundiya? :D

    Ok... ok... No frowns buddy..! On a serious note. Indeed... The world may be a small place. But there is never a dearth of good people. Of course, good/bad are relative. Yet.

    'perfect' reminds me of Salvador Dali. One of his quotes happens to be my motto too - Have no fear of perfection, you'll never reach it.

    Coming back to what I said... Small world. So, you'll prolly meet Mr. Perfect some day. ;)

    Peace.

  13. One line. LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING. And another. LOOKS ARE NOT THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ANYONE PERFECT. :)

  14. lolest!
    1. point taken. LOOKS DEFINITELY CAN BE DECEIVING.

    2. LOOKS ARE NOT THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES ANYONE PERFECT. yes, true, but i was referring only n only to the perfection in a guy (the guy I WOULD LIKE)'s looks!!!

    3. now tat tat's clear, hav u heard of athis tamil saying: agathin azhagu mugathil theriyum. (the beauty of one's heart is shown in one's face). i m not talking about the features of a person alone. its the expressions n emotions shown in the face- u know? a faint smile, slight shy stares, light frowns angry expressions, sweetness, a so on. :)

  17. agathin azhagu mugathil theriyum.
    Yes I have heard it. I am a Tamilian myself. :) And yes, I accept that the sweetness of the heart is shown in the face. But nowadays, people wear plastic smiles and hide their feelings to an un-imaginable extent.
