A Luxurious Car took a sharp turn and stopped at Mumbai’s Khar Drive. A
serious looking man came out of the rear door. By dressing, He was looking
like a senior executive of some multinational company. Wearing a shining
black suit, well-polished shoes and costly rayban’s goggle covering his
eyes, He certainly became center of attraction for all. However, this area
use to accommodate many MNCs offices but very few people used to come to
this side of the street .Therefore, His coming was a genuine cause of
curiosity for the people.In our country, the most common scene is to find
people getting collected for no reason and after some time the same scene
was visible at this situate. People started discussing. A old man said,
Looks like He has a fight with his wife at home, No – No he does not look
married someone interrupted in between. At a distance, some girls were also
discussing, See, Unmarried, a girl teased another with a slender elbow hit,
Well God knows these boys don’t even need to wear a mangalsutra ,the other
girl replied and a series of laugh busted out . On the other side of the
road some enthused boys were discussing about his car, it would a great fun
to drive this, how happy would be this man! Yeah dear, not every one can
have such lucky stars! Suddenly, a self-claimed scholar came in the middle
of the group and presented his view, May be he is planning to build an
apartment here, in the way he is staring towards the ground, his intensions
looks doubtful, May be he is a builder who is looking to grab this land .
This declaration arouse a sudden anger in crowd’s eyes, the boy who was
gaining positive image up to this point, all of a sudden became a villain
but no one was having enough courage to question him. Far away from these
all discussions, the boy was continuously staring towards the ground; there
was a distinct uneasiness in his eyes. Almost after half-n hour, one more
car came and stopped near by and the boy moved fast towards it. Now crowd’s
doubt was also converted in to a belief. Man, why are you so late? Have you
brought the stuff? This boy was asking to the other boy who had just come
out of the second car.After some time suits, goggles, all were lying down at
the back seat of the car and they both were seen busy in flying kites in
their childhood playground.
