1 Rupee change

I ask for NRS 1 change ….

When I travel in public vehicles, the conductor hesitates to return me Rs 1. I ask him, ‘You have to give me the change’. When he answers I don’t have change, then I give act accordingly, e.g Minimum fare is Rs 14 when I give him Rs 15 as my travel fare and he says I don’t have Rs 1 then I ask him for Rs 5 from that Rs 15 and say him, “I don’t have Rs 4 change, (this is for an act to remind him how does it feels) and then he gives me Rs 1 change, I proudly take it. I mostly try to have some change in my pocket before travelling in the public transport.

When I go to buy things to general stores, I give the money and get the product I need. Then the time comes when the shopkeeper says he doesn't have change and gives me,  ‘Toffee’ then I ask for Rs 1 and I say him I don’t want to eat toffee I need money. If he says he doesn’t have Rs 1 then I return the product I have bought and take my money and go to next shop.  But generally when you try to return the product you bought, the shopkeeper gives you Rs 1 change. And I proudly take it.

Sometimes the situations as above happen to you, I recommend that you also proudly ask for you Rs 1 change. This is called being accountable, responsible. I know most of us think that it’s just a matter of Rs 1 or Rs 2 but have we ever thought that of 100 of the people like me and you do this, the shopkeeper or the bus conductor earns Rs 100 for every Rs 1 and Rs 200 for every Rs 2. I’m quite sure that more than 100 of us do this and let these people earn money out of nowhere.

 We have to be accountable.

    Nicely said. Good going!

    We indeed should ask for the change no matter how small it is, or at least to save the argument (and thus the time), we should carry coins.

My new friend

Here in Benaras, I have made a new friend. And I am happy with my friend, a special someone who is ready to listen to me all the time; 24*7. She is an excellent listener, she remains calm most of the time, but sometimes she is so devastating that no one can handle her, neither me, although she is my special friend here. I don't know what she thinks of me, yes I can say something may happen, but she will not stop listening to me. Her name is Ganga. She has cross-cultural experiences, her attitude, her personality can not be questioned. Early morning today I went to see her, at around 6, she was so calm. I was just walking with her for some hundred meters. I was inhaling fresh air when I was walking with her, her another friend, Sun, came to say "hello" I was overwhelmed to meet him with happiness as I had some friends without whom it will be difficult to survive here in Varanasi. After walking a few hundred meters, I sat down to talk to her, Me - Hello Ganga, How are yo...

The mysterious voice of last friday!!!

Last Friday, Kathamndu city was under the thunder breeze. I was watching some movie, I don't remember exactly, was it " Midnight in Paris" or "How I met your mother season -4" I guess it was, it must be how I met your mother s4 e15 as I have been interested in the romantic genre. My wind chimes were singing with their best tune. I could hear the wind blowing so high that It could enter through my full volumed headphone. And then I wondered I bought it paying thousand rupees but the wind could penetrate it.  Ignoring all these I was watching the 17' screen of my laptop playing how I met your mother. Suddenly there goes a sound, BANG... what was that? I shattered in fear. My phone was blinking, I had received a text message, " Hey come to our regular spot." Where we could see our words fly through smoky wind. I closed my laptop, got my jacked and reached there. Wait, I skipped something,  when I had opened my door to balcony, I could see the van...
