Don

'Don' is how she had saved the number.
As a curious onlooker in the ladies second class Local Train
compartment, I glanced at her qwerty keyboard mobile, while this
ordinarily married woman of India in the local train in Mumbai,
deleted the call log and sms history received from this number at the end 
of the day, while going back home.
This woman too was, probably in a relation out of a situation that failed (the relations that we criminally term as extra marital affairs).

Ah those confused relations of the complex lives that cracked under
loveless responsibilities, dried due to lack of time and just kept as
they were to be. And, for no clear reasons had lost all the fragrance
and moisture that Bollywood is expert in exaggerating.

Pale face, tired body and a hopeless next day is how a woman's face in
Mumbai is recognised. To correct myself, I dont say, just woman's face. 
But, women inspite of being expression-expert have become 
supression-expert. 

All this years of my life, I have realised, infidelity is
circumstantial, and loyalty, just a matter of chance.
