THE VEIL !

Traditions and customs are a part of any community or any religion . As years passed by , they have become the very identity of them. The mark of the community or religion is reflected through these traditions and practices. Some are very orthodox and rigid and some got changed over with time with new definitions and new variants of the original.One such custom that is glaringly visible is the VEIL.

Now u must be cursing me why is it that i was coming up with this topic. I would term it as the human curiosity which drove me to this point. The other day i got into the seven seater where a girl was sitting straight opposite to me. The only thing visible was her glowing eyes. I got a bit uneasy at the whole setup as i was getting more cautious.

Suddenly i decided to retaliate and stared her. I realised that she was in a deep thought and was suffering from deep pain. Her eyes conveyed me this. The only thing i could do was to sit and stare at those brownish eyes. The photo of a women whose furious eyes caused a furore flashed in my mind...only to reach my stop where i got out.
