As I had mentioned in an old post, the Delhi public - in general - is ultra rude. Having lived in this city for almost a month, I have more or less grown used to the boorish behavior.
Last Sunday, I decided to buy some hankies, as most of my old ones have a deep brown shade thesedays. Heres the (short) conservation I had with the a rudie :
Yours truly (YT): Boss, hankies milenge kya?
(Rudie looks dazed)
YT: Arre boss, handkerchiefs?
Rudie (R): Oh haan, saabji (then extolls the virtues of the hankies)
YT: Kitne ka hai?
R: Sirji, bees rupaiya.
At this point I decided to make a wisecrack.
YT: Arre boss, ek dozen nahin chahiye bas ek chahiye.
My chest swelled with (shortlived) glee - this was one of those rare occasions wherein I made a quick repartee.
R: Bhai, aajkal Times of India poora color main aata hai. Kaat ke pasina poch lena.
I had no answer to that.
