Really?

“2 kg Gulab jamun,1kg Dhokla with chutney”, the shopkeeper called me to take my order while an Uncle staring at me as if I snatched the Dhokla piece from his mouth.

As soon as I get out of the shop, mummy calls, “Beta jaldi aa, vo aate hi honge”Come fast they are reaching, she said. “Hnji mummy Aara Huin bs”yes just coming. And I started walking towards home.

As I was walking on the edge of the road, a teen maybe of my age was riding a bike so fast, that my mind started singing,” Dhoom machale, Dhoom machale, Dhoom Dhoom”. But after few moments, that guy’s bike slipped on the road, he fell and my mind stopped singing. That was mean of me as I didn’t go for help and ignored the accident. But I had a reason for it, there were many people on road at that time and I was also getting late.

As I moved further, the dhokla Uncle stopped me and said, ” Beta vo mein apna thoda saman ussi Dukan pe bhul gya, Kya tum usse le aaoge” Son I forgot my belongings in that shop, please bring it for me. “The person who is getting late is the most useful in the world right now”,I conflicted in my mind. “Hnji Uncle zroor” Yes uncle definately. I said. I grabbed his belongings back and gave it to him. And after very important formalities of thankyous I proceeded further.

Two youngsters were fighting on the roadside and like every other enthusiastic person, I stopped to inquire. And they both turned out to be my friends. And I don’t know why it is that but it’s very exciting to see your two friends fighting. So, after 15 minutes of full entertainment I interrupted in their fight because it was getting intense now!! So after greeting my friends I proceeded further in full enjoyable mood as I completely forgot about the guests and everything.

So now fortunately I reached near my house and a dog was standing there staring at me like that Dhokla Uncle. I completely ignored him and went ahead but that Dog kept staring at me.

As soon as I was getting inside the house, the guests were coming out. Yes they were coming out !! And my mother stared at me. I shivered. I doubted, “Mummy ab inka kya Krna h? What to do with these now? (pointing to the sweets packet).

She shouted, “Seer pe rakhde mere”Keep it on my head. I was confused and my mind said, “Really”. “Kya Karu ab Khale inko”What to do?now eat it”,she said.

I was delighted!! This type of meal after such a tough journey was worth it !
