Ashwita and Ashwin meet regularly in train these days, maybe because they've known each other now. Random smiles and nods are their way of greeting each other when they meet in train. 

And one such time, Ashwin took the evening train towards Tambaram, time where usually Ashwita gets to her evening work place. He noticed how she rushed in to get into train and how quickly she got down. That night, while coming back, they both got into train and Ashwin went towards her, initiating a conversation.

Ashwin: hey (smiles)

Ashwita: hi (smiled back), another late night train

Ashwin: (giggles) yea, such is life with this public transportations .. by the way, saw you rushing in and out from train just now, all ok?

Ashwita: err, when?

Ashwin: in the evening

Ashwita: oh, you take the same train evening too?
