Perspectives!

One incident; neither to be blamed; but the fact remains....

He passes by the supermarket. He is reminded of something he should buy. He stops his bike. He switches off his bike. He looks back. The road is empty except for a young girl walking just behind. He assumes that she will move and pushes the vehicle a few steps back for a parking space. He turns the vehicle to face the supermarket and releases his bike stand. He finds a rock just under his bike stand and tries to move it with his shoes. It doesn’t seem to budge. He gets down, lifts the rear of his bike and places it back at a new place. Now, the ground is too low for the vehicle to stand steady. He manhandles it to a new place which happens to be just an inch away from the original place with the rock. He parks his bike comfortably. With a victorious smile of accomplishing this parking feat, he locks his bike and turns around. He finds the young girl still standing there rather close to his bike. “Why is she standing alone in this dark? Probably boyfriend”. But to his surprise she gives him a dirty look. He winces, shoots her back a dirty look and walks away. “Dunno what is running in her mind. Girls can sometimes be impossible”.

She is walking alone on the road by a supermarket. She notices a guy in a bike suddenly stopping few yards in front of her. She finds the road pretty empty except for this guy and a few vehicles passing by. Just when her thoughts are drifting away, she finds this guy looking back at the length of the road and also giving her a casual glance. He pushes his bike a few steps back and finds a parking space. Just when she is about to cross him, he virtually blocks her way and lifts his vehicle to a new place. “Wants to show off that he is a Hercules”. She tries to move again but he is still meddling with his bike stand and doesn’t seem to let her pass. “What an arrogance!”. This time she is determined to cross him and go on with her work. She sees that he has parked his bike and still, it hasn’t moved much from the original place. “What is he doing lifting the bike and keeping it at the same place? To what extent can guys go to show off!”. He successfully parks his bike and turns back. “Look at that smile at having successfully irritated a girl.” Her thoughts indexed on her face as a dirty look of contempt. But, to her surprise she sees a dirty look creeping across his face too. He walks away. She winces. “Dunno what is running in his mind. Guys can sometimes be impossible”

The fact remains that there was a guy, a rock and an uncomfortable parking area; a girl, a guy blocking her path lifting his vehicle and a look of contempt exchanged!
