T.S takes a walk around C.P and shares some heart-warming moments. Lovely post.
Voice in my head: That’s 10 beedis or one Chhoti Gold Flake! Go for it!The other voice: Are you really going to deprive this poor old guard two full rupees?
Voice in my head: Of course you are. It’s not like he has an andhi behen and apahij maa for God’s sake!
The other voice: Fine! But you must return it! Youmustyoumustyoumust!
Guard: Arre lo na bhaiyya. Aage paan vaala hai, beedi mil jaayegi.
Me (in a hindi movie sort of way, all misty eyed): Par tumhare 2 rupaye mein kaise le sakta hoon?
Guard (getting irritated): Rakho. Hume vaapas ATM jaana hai. Duty chhod kar aaye hein!
I took the coin from his palm.
