that twinkle in your eyes.......

hmmmmm....yeah saw it today...not once...but many times

its really wonderful indeed to see that twinkle.....when one is speaking about something so dear to him/her.........the eyes really twinkle...they even shine....reflecting the passion that person has for the thing he/she talks about....

yeah now you may wonder what did i do this time...well as usual came late to the bus stop...and then well became the lucky guy to enjoy the adventures of an old man.......

the old guy was kinda pissed when i met him...the bus driver didnt allow us to get into the bus till five mins before the departure time...and the old guy had to get down...

well...then we started off with the conversation...well i started this discussion by asking him about what kinda rifle he owned......well he was wearing a NRA cap....for those who dont know what NRA is..it short for National Rifle Association......

then did the story that i thoroughly enjoyed begin...
he had bought a very expensive rifle about 30 years back...which he paid $400 for at that point of time....man...that was expensive....he was so possessive about that gun that he didnt even use it a single day..he used to borrow guns from his friends and use it to hunt quails and deer....i know i know sounds like an ice age salman khan!!! :D

okay back to the story...it went from he going on hunting trips with his buddies...then withhis teenaged son....to his divorce where he did not give me the reason for that to happen...

it seems that he had hunted animals left and right...

now i come to the best part of the story...

ok...one winter he and his son are on their way for a hunt....and they come across a medium sized brown bear right in the middle of the road...now this teddy scrambled into the bushes when this guy honked at it......and well outta curiosity the guy gets down from his car...armed..no dont worry not with a gun but with a camera!!! and goes searching for the bear in the nearby bushes...and LO!! the bear has run up a nearby mound and standing on its hind legs....with ears pricked and it sniffing around intently for anything strange in the air...

these two guys...the teddy and the oldie...are locked in a stare down....and this idiot...not the bear...but this oldie...shouts "boo!!"....what an idiot....instead of enjoying the curious gaze of that brown bear...he yells boo...and the bear scurries away......
no one was hurt except for the fact that the oldie was all sweating and well he forgot to take the picture....

this is the part of the story that he cherishes a lot....dunno why...but you had to see that twinkle in his eyes when he was talkin about it...it felt good...

though one thing i would like to say here...i didnt appreciate that mad gleam that comes into his eyes whenever he talks about hunting down animals...he is nothing more than a cold blooded killer....didnt like this fact one bit...

one more twinkle that i am talkin about that everyone would enjoy is that which appears in the eyes of that little kid when it gets that cone of ice cream...yeah chocolate ice cream...and it takes the first lick!!!! after all that shouting and bawling.....finally when it gets that cone of ice cream into its hands....oh man!!!! success!!! a big smile............then comes the first lick...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmm woooooooooowee!!! cold and chocolaticious!!!!!!! he he he he he....sweet nirvaana!!
and when the second lick comes....then shine the eyes....u have to watch it to enjoy it...
though you might get an angry little stare from the little fella if he/she realises that you are staring at the ice cream.... :D
