He
was looking after the broken television. He did not repair them. He said so but
I did not see any tools, except a pile of old televisions. Somebody wanted to
sit on them, immediately a guy came and removed her. Gave her instead another
seat.
I
was in the lassi store with a friend and his friend, in his little shop,
because in the lassi store there was no space for us, too full. i met a friend
there, for having a chat. I met him yesterday, when we, me and my girls where
there, for a lassi. He just came sat down in front of me and said hi. I did not
expect him, ever, and above all not at 4 pm Sunday in this specific lassi store
in varanasi, india. He is a work colleague of mine, from an old place where I used
and still use to work in England. He was not a close friend, somebody I knew.
The place where I worked was full of people who love to travel. Just one of these
places, which allows people to do that. So him. I knew he loves India, and the
world is small, but so small. Still incredible. So we met up for another lassi
the next day.
The
lassi day is famous. I did not know, probably as alka. But not so the lonely
planet world. At least what the old man says after sitting for an hour silent
next to us, then giving us a chai and starting to talk with us.
He
was the father of the owner and the television repair shop next door. He was
very proud, told us about his father who used to be an actor and really famous,
he told us about his sun having his store and that it was quoted in the lonely
planet. He smiled. I just said. Propyl your sun is as famous as your dad. He
just knocked laughed out loud and smiled.
