Shop Mishap: A Kurgi Mix-Up

" "

On a family shopping trip for Rakhsha Bandhan, one of our younger sisters, Aarohi, and I found ourselves at a local store where traditional kurtis, t-shirts, and jeans were available as separate items.

" "

When Aarohi was unable to concede on the price of a kurti, she repeatedly asked the shopkeeper to lower it. Meanwhile, the other two cousins were busy with t-shirts.

" "

Despite Aarohi’s insistence, the shopkeeper did not agree to a lower price. Frustrated, she and I moved to the t-shirt counter where I noticed she was unknowingly holding a kurti pant.

" "

As soon as the shopkeeper approached and said, 'Maam, you have taken our pant,' we laughed uncontrollably. Aarohi gracefully admitted her mistake and assured the shopkeeper she would return the pant if she had known it was a kurti pant from the start.

" "

The entire episode was more amusing than embarrassing, making it a heartwarming recollection.

A Trip to the Pub: A Down and Out Customer

" "

Forty years ago, I was walking down a street in a northern English city when I encountered my former boss, a man who was now begging on a street corner. His destitute state was heartbreaking, and he had lost his job along with his wife who had cast him out to live on the streets.

" "

Feeling helpless, I approached him and offered him a drink in the pub. To my regret, it was a seriously ill-advised move.

" "

Upon entering the pub and ordering two beers, it dawned on me that I had left my wallet at the office. Realizing the predicament, I had to ask the beggar to pay for the beer with the money he had begged.

" "

The moment was extremely awkward, reminding us both of our past and present statuses.

" "
