After a long, exhausting day at work, Amara took a shared ride home. Seated in the back of the car, she was lost in her thoughts when another co-passenger joined her. She glanced at the stranger, a middle-aged woman with a drawing sheet holder in one hand and her bag in another.
A few minutes later, Amara saw the woman pulling out the drawing sheets carefully from the holder and placing them on her lap. Amara couldn’t help but gaze in awe. Seeing her, the woman smiled and spoke in a humble tone, “I hope you liked the drawings.”
“I loved them! These are amazing!” her voice soaked in admiration as she went on to introduce herself, “By the way, I am Amara. Nice to meet you.”
“I am Geeth. Nice to meet you too,” the woman responded. This kick-started a conversation that quickly shifted from drawings to their favourite artists, books, theatre, and other aspects of life.
Amara found Geeth’s interests and outlook towards life fascinating. But their chat was interrupted when Geeth got a call from her teenage daughter. She was cooking dinner and had some questions about the recipe. She patiently answered all her queries before resuming the conversation.
“Your daughter is cooking dinner?” asked Amara.
