Get Used To

Jus like keying in wrong password atleast twice the morning...
As if it was not me who changed it the previous evening.
Jus like asking "Besant Nagar?" again n again till auto driver gives me a puzzled look...
As if it was not me who moved out of that place of late .
Jus like calling out "s, s" again n again till my granny pulls the blanket and gives me a tutelarian look...
As if it was not me who shifted in here recently.
Jus like trying to push the specs up my nose and smile laconically in realisation...
As if it was not me who changed to lenses yesterday.

She has got used to it i said to myself and aloud i say "Nothing .careful.. " n pulled the lady on my left towards me, as a car passed by us.On a busy main road, hustling with vehicles and their deafening horns " I am so sorry !!!" the one on my right said with a very apolgetic tone ,biting her tongue,sqeezing her eyes closed tight.
"wat? y? i dint hear u ..." the one on my left was screaming through my ears.
A lil later the one on my left n i exchanged a smile , a smile that personified a great relief...for we knew how big a faux-paus it wud have been to ask a woman- which standard, her son ,who died recently, was studying in now?
