i was at a "hot chips" point and then a 10 yr entered the shop..
"Uncle, do you have 1 rupee chocolates?"
shopkeeper : "yes"
the child had some change with him.. he was holding it in both his hands.. I guessed he was carrying so much change in his hands all the way from his home. I imagined a cute looking boy, walking towards me, watching not the road but the buildings and walls, despite which aware of the coins in his palms.
He started counting the change, that too, in his hands.. Head bent.. He counted slowly and silently.

very seriously, "uncle, 12 rupees. Give 12 chocolates. 5 for me, 5 for my brother"
shopkeeper: that is only 10 babu.... should i give only ten?
"Nooooo.. 12... 5 for me, 5 for my brother"
smiling, "one for my daddy and one for my mummy" :-)
With a cute, innocent smile
