Preeti doesn’t make eye contact while talking. She’s just not that type of a person, she says. It really kills the conversation, if you ask me.

She prefers to look forward as if she’s been held back for too long. Sometimes I feel like she doesn’t talk to people at all she talks to the stars or chatters with with the birds.

“I want to express but I don’t want to know how people feel about it, so I look away” she says, with a longing to be understood, in her eyes.

Maybe someone broke her beyond repair or maybe she too, like all of us, doesn’t want all the answers.

“ Anurag”, she says.

“Yes?”

“That twinkling star over there,” she points, "has a spark similar to your eyes.”
