My old habit has been to eat a banana in the morning with a glass of milk. Banana is my favorite tomorrow. Even if the taste is omitted, the banana contains potassium, which keeps blood pressure under control. The day after yesterday, I was returning home from the market. Then a banana barrow appeared on the side of the road. Fresh yellow bananas were seen in it. I stopped and asked, 'How did you get bananas? '
'He said' 'Fifty rupees a dozen, sir!. 'If you want to give forty five rupees, then give a dozen. 'I tried to negotiate. But he did not agree. Sir, the price is fixed.
'Think again I am taking a dozen. I went ahead and said that maybe I should stop and agree on forty five rupees. But he did not agree. Stood quietly .
I just returned, "Okay, give a dozen. He cut a dozen bananas from the bunch and put them in my bag. By then two customers came. He got busy with them. I walked ahead. One on the far side The rickshaw appeared standing, "Vijaya Heritage to walk, Anil Sur Path, not the Marine Drive. I explained to him. On getting his consent I was about to sit that the banana one came running," Sir, you give me fifty rupees. Don't forget and forget your purse on hand. "He said returning the purse. I was ashamed of my mistake - mistake of fifty rupees. I opened the purse. There were eleven notes of hundred rupees in it. One note ten. It was money. It was full of money. He was very impressed by his honesty. He was poor. He did not even have slippers on his feet. He wore a simple pajama-kurta this winter. There was no trace of warm clothes on the body while I was there. He was wearing a full arm sweater and had a muffler wrapped around his head.
I gave him a note of a hundred, 'Keep it, there is no need to return anything. ' ' How can this happen ?
My fifty rupees are made, I will take the same. 'He returned fifty rupees. His self-respect, not taking a tip, was affecting me more. He was poor. He was in dire need of money - from which he could buy slippers. At least the feet would have been relieved, but for him, hard work was everything. There are also people in this city. In our country.
