Remember the moments when u were in an elevator... Was it good or it did spook you? I'm not saying to be alone in an elevator (Needless to say, it would scare you to death especially when u are talking about middle of the night, and hospital some more). What i meant was being in a lift with someone who is half stranger and half friend.
i have few of those moments which i would never consider to have it again in the future. But, like it or not, it will happen no matter what!
I recalled an incident when i was taking the elevator with a junior of mine. we were at the 11th floor and we were heading to the 3rd, only 2 of us. It was a real awkward moment for me, and surely his too.
So, after the elevator descended few floors, i could not stand the awkwardness anymore. So, hastily i asked him "Which posting are u in now?" (it's the commonest question when a senior meets his/ her junior as to murder the eccentric moment). But the embarrassing part was, we were asking the same question together, at the same time.
It clearly showed that he was not good at handling silence too. Then, as the question came, both of us, again answered together. Gosh!
So, when the door opened and freed us, i strode as fast as i could to avoid another horrible moment. But, we did bid good bye though. Anyways, he is a good junior. Always is!
The second incident was when i took the elevator with my lecturer. Then, i had nothing to say. "Hello is a bit short" i thought. So i decided to stay mum. She decided to entangle us from the awkwardness. So she started with the ordinary and overly used question. " What posting are u in now?" Obviously she could use the sentence since i could not ask her that. It was not fair.
So i decided to timidly answer the question and asking for God to make the elevator move faster or maybe hoping for someone to come and join us. Gosh!
