she..

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 !!!

But the truth is life is really beautiful.< I dont know why I am writing this> Just thought of your experience and replied.
