It's You & Me, Babuji

added by granite concept 6 years ago BM O Ethnic

You try to think of someone in your life who might be fun to switch with. You figure, if the ring works, you might as well go all in, try a big change, right. Your mind settles on one of your coworkers, the man who sits a few cubicles over, Kamraj.

The two of you have the same job... but there's not much else you have in common. Sometimes you see him in the lunch room. On these occasions, he's friendly enough, but otherwise the two of you rarely interact. You try to remember what you can about this near-stranger. You think he told you he has a son your age. Yes, that's right, and he told you a few months ago about the big trip he and his wife took for their 25th anniversary. You're not exactly sure of his age, but mid-40s would make sense given this other information. Kamraj is about the same height as you, give or take an inch. He always wears a dark-colored suit to work, choosing to limit his expression of style to varying patterns and colors of ties. He was sort of rotund, his big belly straining the buttons on his suit. This might have been because he always brought large home-cooked lunches, finishing them without fail. They always looked and smelled delicious to you. He had thick, black hair, and heart shaped lips. His dark eyes were a little close together. Kamraj's complexion was a deep, warm brown. The skin on his forehead was often shiny with a touch of perspiration; he seemed to sweat easily. Your coworker looked like he might be hairy too, as his knuckles had a noticeable amount of thin black hair coating them. The only skin he ever had exposed were his hands and head, no matter the weather or occasion. He even wore a suit to the company picnic when others had dressed more casually. He had a slight accent to his voice, which had a musical, friendly tone to it. He had a way of working wonders with his gentle speech, always subtly reassuring clients of his good nature.

You're interested to see what life might be like if you could borrow something from Kamraj. You ponder for a moment, very aware of the plastic ring on your finger. You're embarrassed you expect this to work, you won't be able to look Kamraj in the eye after all this daydreaming. But you might as well try. Eventually, you decide. you're going to switch...
