On a crisp, Sun-lit winter morning in 2005, after finishing his usual yoga routine, he wandered over to the garden to water the tender, budding plants.
The water-pipe poured life into the thirsty marigold pots, while he lifted gaze toward the sky.
A pair of birds sang sweetly as they fluttered between trees. The Sun gently began to rise behind the hills. Nearby, a caterpillar emerged from the damp earth, curling itself around a delicate stem.
The cool breeze added a bite to the air, sending a shiver through him and leaving him with goosebumps.
And then suddenly his eyes caught sight of her.
She was mesmerizing, wrapped in an orange salwar, her black, lustrous hair cascading down her back, she walked gracefully, completely unaware of her own beauty.
Her eyes were fixed on her sandals, each step deliberate, as if she was lost in thought.
He stood there, completely entranced, watching her until she disappeared beyond the edge of his view. When he finally returned to himself, he realized the water had overflowed from the flower pots and stood there.
A rush of warmth and joy filled him.
She had unknowingly lifted his weary, battered spirit.
In that moment, he felt reborn, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
For the rest of that day, she consumed his thoughts.
Yes! It was love at first sight.
