one thing led to another...
evening yoga class..so need an outfit which doubles as a yoga suit
too..where leggings is a part of the office outfit..but the outfit i
randomly pick from the cupboard has no dupatta……...i mean i never got to
buying one….. the winters was ok……..i had a stole which
matched……summers, it wont work………...its not that i dont want to buy the
damn dupatta…….its just that by the time its evenings, the sun has gone
down, which makes it difficult to get the exact match(women will
understand what i mean).. and mornings it would get too late for work..
satudays and Sundays, and holidays, im under voluntary house
arrest...hate to leave home these days.
i decide im buying the
dupatta even if it means getting embarassingly late for work. in spite
of being late im still early. the shops havent opened yet...one
streetside vendor has just started setting shop ..i go to him..there is
this 8 to 10 year old kid with him..the guy looks at my hurried
expression and yells, dad client...he asks me what color, i show him the
border of my dress..he searches thru the yet to be untied bundle of
dupattas with little success.
his enthusiasm makes me want to
know more about him...u having ur holidays from school? U assisting ur
dad? i ask. he blushes at the attention. his dad smiles too. with
fatherly pride.
the dad picks up a dupatta which is a near
match..if it was some other shop i wud have asked for a more near
match..but i dont try it here..i dont bargain either..bargaining
somethimes is not good for the soul...in this case the soul of the young
boy.
i hope u young boy, u always have this zeal and enthusiam for in ur life.. may u never lose it with adulthood. all the best.
