He smiled to herself now. Still holding the book, she looked up. And this was how she saw the
young man. He smiled back at her. Lata frowned at him and looked down at the page again.
But she could not concentrate on it, and after a few moments, replaced it on the self before
making her way to Poetry. Lata liked love poetry. She began to look at a volume of Tennyson.
The tall young man, who had slightly wavy black hair and was very good looking, seemed to
be as interested in poetry as in mathematics, because a few minutes later Lata noticed that he
had moved his attention to the poetry shelves, and was glancing through the collections. Lata
felt that his eyes were on her from time to time. This annoyed her and she did not look up
.When she did , she noticed him reading innocently. She could not resist glancing at the cover
of his book. It was a Penguin: Contemporary Verse. He now looked up, and the tables were
turned. Before she could glance down again, he said, “It’s unusual for someone to be
interested in both poetry and mathematics.”
“Is that so?”said Lata severely.
“Courant and Robbins- it’s an excellent work”
“Oh?”said Lata. Then, realizing that the young man was referring to the mathematics book
she had picked off the shelf, she said, ”Is it?”
But the young man wanted to continue the conversation.
“My father says so”, he went on.” Not as a text but as a broad introduction. He teaches maths
at the university.”
Lata looked round to see if Malati was listening. But Malati was in front of the shop. Nor was
anyone else listening; the shop was not busy at this time of year –or this time of day. “Actually,
I’m not interested in mathematics, said Lata with an air of finality. The young man looked a
little disappointed before he recovered and confided, ’You know, nor am I. I’m a history
student myself”. Lata was amazed at the determination and, looking straight at him, said, “I
must go now. My friend is waiting for me.” Even as she was saying this, however, she could
not help noticing how sensitive this wavy-haired young man looked. This appeared to
contradict his confident behaviour in speaking to an unknown, unintroduced girl in a
bookshop.
“I’m sorry, I suppose I’ve been disturbing you?, he apologized, as if reading her thoughts.
‘No’, said Lata. She was about to go to the front of the shop when he added quickly with a
nervous smile, ‘In that case, may I ask you your name?’
‘Lata’, said Lata shortly.
‘Aren’t you going to ask me mine?’ asked the young man, smiling broadly.
‘No’, said Lata, quite kindly, and rejoined Malati , who had a couple of paperback novels in
her hand. ‘Who is he?’ whispered Malati. ‘Just someone’, said Lata, glancing back a bit
anxiously.
