Connecting the earphones to phone, I boarded the bus. Earphones could give me the privacy and the liberty at same time. Earphones could give me the ME time, no one will urge to question or to talk to you. We just smile in return to them with eyes and lips. Eye expressions are most beautiful, they held truth. Smile from a stranger- in their eyes we could feel awkwardness, lips curve upwards with hesitance and eyes blink slowly to confirm their smile is to you.

At the same time, earphone gives me liberty to observe people without any hindrance, just occasional smiles. I can just watch them, their body language, mannerisms. I judge them with their calls and body language. When I see them play one of my favorite songs, I feel connected to him/her. I smile unknowingly to them for letting them know that its my favorite too.

When I feel sorry or upset, music in ear could give me the needed time and solace. Music has healing powers.

Earphones…Music and Travel….is a perfect combo for me. Sometimes I feel I’m molding myself in these combos… Missing that combo in this pandemic!!
