Usually Medha would walk with downcast
eyes or be so engrossed in her thoughts, that she wouldn’t even notice
Nalini. On the days that she did, she’d
waive out to her or cross the road and shop-talk with her for some time, before
proceeding home.
She was a very sincere and punctual girl, well-mannered and attractive too! With her waist-length hair, luminous, large, dark eyes, olive skin and slender figure, she often got interested glances from the boys passing by, and envious glances from the girls who set their sights on her. She genuinely didn’t think that she was beautiful at all!
Hence she was unaffected by all that unwarranted attention. She just concentrated on her work and her hobbies, of which she had many. She was adept at fabric painting, ceramic painting and embroidery. Whenever she had the spare time, she would indulge in her hobbies and happily spend her time. She was contented even when she was all alone. She enjoyed her company!
