This happened to me at 8th cross Malleshwaram when I went to buy coriander.
Me: Aunty, I want coriander.
Vegetable Vendor: You can take it, it is Rs. 4for one bunch.
I offer note of Rs. 10.
Vegetable Vendor: Please give me change.
Me: I dont have any change. sorry.
Vegetable Vendor: No problem, give it to me next time.
Me: No aunty, I dont usually come here. Please take it and give me the change.
Vegetable Vendor: No it is ok. Give me if you come next time.
I went around to other vendors and got the change for Rs. 10. Then went to the vegetable vendor and bought the coriander.
Then I had to go to buy 1 lt milk. The usual shop that I buy from was already closed. So had to go to next cross and buy it from there.
I have him Rs. 30 for 1lt of milk. It costs Rs. 26. My mind was pre-occupied as I had to hurry immediately to my aunt’s house to get some papers and then come back home for FSMK telecon. I forgot to collect the change.
While coming from Aunt’s house, I remembered that i had not collected it. Went to the shop as it was on the way. Asked the shopkeeper, if I had forgotten to collect the change.
He said no, he remembered that he had given the change to me. But I was sure that I had not collected it as I had only Rs. 6 change which was left from Rs. 10 earlier.I couldnt argue as it was my mistake not to collect the change that time itself.
But two small incident in matter of half an hour. Both matter of Rs.4 which I can easily ignore. I had just bought 2 shorts worth Rs. 1500 from Mantri mall.
But still couldnt believe that vegetable vendor was ready to give me coriander for free even though I didnt know her and told her that I couldnt possibly come back to pay her later.
Is such kind of humanity just left for those poor people? May be that is why they are poor and hence deserve to be poor.
hmmmm
Nice One..
