(Un!)Known! face in walking trial

I go on and off for walking here. For the past two days , I have been going to a new park for walking. The park is very big and neatly maintained. There are lot of people mostly elderly patti’s and thatha’s walking briskly with walking shoes . I was reminded of the quote “Enthusiasm can’t be taught, rather needs to be caught”. A girl with a fluorescent green top and pant waived hands at me. I couldn’t recognize the face. She introduced herself as “Sirija”(till not sure of her name) and we had met before in an other park near to my house, in which I used to go for walk. I was now able to recognize her. She is a MCA graduate and has done her SAP course. She is staying as a PG(paying guest) near to my house. I guess you people most be wondering that I know quite a lot about her and still referring her as “UNKNOWN”. These pieces of information was given to me by her the very first day we saw each other! The best part about our first introduction was she started her conversation by complementing me that I look pretty(fact pa!! J No kadhai or masala added) (I was a bit stunned to hear that from a stranger) and she introduced herself and asked about me as well. As I was quite new to the place, I was not really comfortable in talking to her. I didn’t give much information about me and tried to escape from her!

I believe, she goes regularly to the new parking trial around 6:15am. She asked how regularly I go for walk and ordered (!)(That’s how I felt) me, to come early around 6:15 am and join her for walk.

Lots of thoughts are running through my mind. I felt I am suspecting her too much, though she might be trying to be friendly. On the contrary, felt I need to be this way as I am quite new to the place, language and the people.

I am still wondering if I should talk to this (UN)Known person!!
