As I stepped out of home singing “Socha nahi to socho abhi” from Rock on, a bearded beggar appeared out of nowhere. I stopped in my tracks, cut the song short and took a good look at him. Dressed in tatters, his beard dominated his face so much that it looked as if he was trying to peep from a bush. And then, all of a sudden he started singing “Mere baare mein bhi socho saab”.
I removed a 20 and gave it to him. He folded his hands and said “Shukriya saab. Ab aur bheek nahin mangoonga. Seedha hotel jaake khaana khaaonga”. I felt numb the moment he said that. I couldn’t move. And then, the numbness was replaced by elation. I felt good.
The begger thanked me for making his day. The truth is he made my day.
