Unknown Hellos


Ever gone through a situation where someone you meet or cross in the same place you visit regularly; be it your work place or temple or college or school; any where….

Saying a Hi to you with a big smile and you reply back with a “Hi” but not really knowing who he/she is???!!!!!
I faced it today morning….
While I was in office, in the lift; the girl who entered the lift after me; gave me a big chirpy hi that I couldn’t resist giving back one though I really couldn’t recognize her.

I strained struggled and screwed by brain a lot to recollect “Do I really know her?”
Man… I couldn’t even take a wild guess…
Why, even now I don’t remember an inch of knowing her!!!

It does happen to us right, a few times….
Where we don’t know them but we end up smiling back at them…

It’s a little embarrassing though if questioned or when asked on our where about.
Good I dint face any of that today… :D

But in my case this has become a practice now and I always end up smiling not knowing who they are… of course to the ones who smile at me...
A courtesy smile back is no harm right ;)
