Many of us saw her picture in facebook. and I finally met her, Just outside Exide mod Haldiram’s, she was sitting and selling papad (1 packet for Rs 10). This Old fragile lady in her mid 80’s who has a paralysed son at home and she is the only earning member of the family and definitely too proud to beg. Her clean clothes, sophisticated manners tells the unspoken stories of her aristocracy of yesteryear. one well dressed Man took one packet of papad and gave Rs 100 and vanished quickly in the crowd before she even got a better look at how much he has paid. And he is not an exception, people keep buying stuffs from her regularly even though they do not use them. Felt proud that hearts still beat and bleed in this city of joy and all of us has not turned into stones yet.

Share it.
