she was hardly 5 .
I can't say she was well dressed, but whatever she was wearing was definitely miles away from
being beautiful.
She came right in front of me, I was listening to FM.
Also i had medium (kurkure pack) stuffed in my empty hands.
She : de na ...
I didn't hear it initially because someone was
yelling in my left ear...
Then i realised that poor child was begging.
Me : kya chahiye ? kuch nahi hai rey mere pass
She pleaded with innocent gestures.
She: Nai , de , kuch bhi chalega.
I really thought she was very pretty- she indeed was !!
Me: yeh wafers le le ... khatam kar..
Suddenly she chopped back," Paisa dena hai toh de , nahi toh kuch nai chahiye"
All her innocence was transformed into harsh reality.
GOD !!!

hmm....... those who can afford to be innocent r lucky! true!
Life can make even the most innocent the most harsh person on earth.
I hope that should never happen.
But the truth is life is really beautiful.< I dont know why I am writing this> Just thought of your experience and replied.
