Something that has happened to a number of us at one time or the other....you are just having a stress relieving casual stroll around the block when what-you-thought-to-be-a-shadow takes the shape of a man, and shines in his hand a gun/knife....next thing you know - you are a wallet lighter now....a gold chain you need not take to the jewellers anymore...or a suitcase less to worry about....for some adrenaline-throbbing-gentleman, the result might also include a not-so-voluntary-blood-donation....but ranging from a subtle/mild to a violent/thrilling way, this happens everyday around you....and the papers everyday are splattered with news about the same....
standing in the queue at the metro station, playing with my cellphone...a toddler could read the impatience in me at that moment....
"sir...ek ticket...CP...how much?"
"16 rupees"
i thurst forward two ten-rupee notes through the glass windows"
"1 rupya change dijiye"
fishing in my wallet madly...coin pocket....shirt...jeans....arrghhh!!! crap!
"sir change to hai nahi"
"aise kaise chalega...change to mere paas bhi nahi hai....wait kijiye thodi der..."
"train to indraprashtha is entering platform no 3....", bellowed the loudspeaker...
"next train to indraprashtha: 07 minutes" read the display...
"sir, change rehne dijiye...bas token de dijiye"
with a smirk he hands me over the counter and i walk away....
"crap!!!..mugged again!"
