Wonder + Land = Wonderland!

Wonder.. Land!
I once visited this land.. was unaware of its existence before.. but its right here, was right here and will be right here.. oh! how blinded I was!

Wonder..ful day :::: Clear blue morning sky, Unmanned road, Typical Pilani trees lining one bank of the road.. And that wonderful turn!

The turn that makes one cross "Birla Shishu Vihar's" main gate with junior Ist (equivalent to either KinderGarden high or Ist Class, I guess) class kids seated on the windows onlooking this road with curiousity.

The pleasant chatter amongst them, their childish and childlike enthusiasm, their enigmatic curious glittering eyes, the "bye didi.. bye didi" shouts packed with purely beautiful smiles.. How can they go unnoticed?


There, he was seated in the farthermost corner of the window with his beautiful smile, waving Goodbyes along with his classmates. I also waved at these kids and him, smiling, and shouting "Byee".
Wow! What a feeling! That cute kid, seated in the farthermost corner of the window, kept on smiling throughout, till another turn came. That Smile! That beautiful Real smile.. was simply breathtaking. I remember smiling, saying "bye" and looking, at them and that kid, all through the stretch of the road.

I know none of them. But I know, that, the kid's smile and the byes will never be forgotten

Pure Enigma!
And really..

Wonderland!
