I was really happy to see him after a long time. " Aye!", I called him out and he tried his best to hide away. I went a little ahead to catch a glimpse of his face and for once I knew he was the same little devil, Yuvraj.
I had met him or I would rather say chased him at the same place a few months back. It was a hot afternoon and I was dancing around holding a huge chocolate I had just got from a dear friend. Like a wind he came and snatched away the chocolate and looked back so that I can see the naughty grin.
I ran behind him not for the chocolate but to give him a good lesson. But unfortunately he was faster than me and in no time he was lost in the crowd of millions walking on the road. Determined I stood there for a long time chatting with his friends about his family and discovered the realities of their life something so true and dramatic that even a bollywood director might get inspired to make a movie on.
It was more than an hour but I somehow knew that he would return to his friends and as soon as I spotted him i quickly caught hold of Yuvraj. Scared to even open him mouth he silently said, " Didi , Bhook laga tha" ( I was hungry). After a few rounds of questions he finally told me who taught him to steal. Me and my friends tried our best to make him understand that stealing from someone is really not helpful but somewhere down the line I thought he would do the same thing again.....We took them out for a Vada paav each and returned home with a hope that Yuvraj might just listen to our sermon.
When I saw him today selling those roses I knew he had changed. But the doubtful mind of mine forced me to ask him whether he has stopped stealing and pop came the answer, " Kasam se...abhi nahi churata". ( I swear I do not steal anymore).
