There is this 80-something beggar I bump into everyday as I leave for work. A crude old man with a pretty distinctively long beard Often reminded me of Gandalf when Gandlaf was still Gandalf the Grey)
Anyway, days pass without me ever batting an eyelid or turning to him to give him the alms he asked for everyday . Until the previous day, when at the behest of a particularly good mood, I stopped and ransacked my bag for some paltry change. Following 2 excruciating minutes of frantic rupee-coin searching, I handed him a rupee. Something, (I thought), that would be treated like the holy grail
But he looked at the coin, looked back at me and said
Abey behenc***d! Itne din ke baad sirf ek rupai ? Isse tho vada pav bhi nahin milega mujhe
(Translation: Sistah-f***er !! After all these days , just a rupee? I wont even get vada pav with this !! )
I kept staring and he walked away …..
Et tu, Ghost-Runner 
rofl!
haha. But did he return the rupee or tucked it in anyway ?
