Let’s be strangers again





Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.

I headed to coaching today, eager to share a lot of things. With every pedal of my bicycle, I’d find myself dreaming of something new: I’d talk about this, or not that. Well, she didn’t give me a chance to speak, she had to tell me everything, no matter how much I planned to talk.

In the electric haze of teenage, if someone of the opposite gender becomes a friend, then that person remains in your heart and mind whole day and night.

And the weather today had also become a tad dreary. Each drop of rain seemed to generate a new energy, a sense of strangerhood that brought with it a lot of freedom, a vision of a golden future, as if the whole world was in my hands and I am the boss.

We both arrived almost together and ran towards the stairs to escape the rain. I grabbed her hand so she wouldn’t slip. She turned back, looked at me, and said, “Now that you’ve held my hand, don’t let it go.” Since it was raining, no one had come yet, we had ample opportunity to talk.

It was a dialogue from a movie, the punchline of which she uttered. In that very movie, the leading actors were childhood friends and then drifted apart, but never forgot each other. They met again many years later.

While narrating the story of that movie, she said randomly, “Let us become strangers once again, we will meet again when both of us have established our careers”.

    This is a beautifully nostalgic and cinematic reflection. 🌧️

    The writing captures the tender restlessness of youth—the way thoughts race ahead of words, and how even small moments (like a rainy bicycle ride or running up stairs) feel emotionally amplified. The atmosphere you’ve created is especially vivid: the drizzle, the shared urgency, the unspoken emotions beneath simple actions.
