All weekends I travel to and from chennai in Shatabdi express. But last week for first time, it was turn of two very beautiful north indian girls (settled in blr) to sit with me...
I was very happy. One was around 22-23 and the other was 17-18 yr old. kismat turned bad when i realised their younger sister was sitting alone in another area. I knew I have to get out for her. Hmm, after all its for a good deed. I prepared myself for doing it...
And the request came from the eldest one to change my seats. And I was happy to do that for a beautful girl. When I took my laptop bag, and started walking... the eldest one thanked me - "Thank you very much UNCLE"....... and the middle one also told "Thankyou UNCLE"...
The words struck me HARD. It was a moment of realization of hard realities of my AGE.
I sliently went to the back seat and slept........

and have to accept the truth...
You missed the girls proximity but you gained respect as an UNCLE !
You could have said them while giving way "That's fine, it just reminded me of my 3 grown up daughters"
