The Dream Spinner...

Image
Amongst the hordes of faces, somewhere in a busy street of Inner circle, Connaught Place, the Capital’s premier commercial district……a wrinkled but clean shaven face,aged around 70 trips across the sun,barely able to walk,with shirt neatly tucked-in caught my eye…..Alas he was a salesman,A salesman at this age??? I wondered … With puppets worn into hand, and making comic actions,he was trying to entice young childrens to him so that he can eke out some money by selling toys Moments later he fumbled,took the support of pillar and sat on the ground.People came,people went,many of them offered him help.Undaunted,he declined their help. In the meanwhile he kept on trying to get back on his feet to resume his duties but he couldn’t. Some people were sympathetic enough to buy those puppets for a charge of 40Rs…hoping it would help that old man,Pity those people,I still wonder what would they do with it.. What is this old man upto??I asked my friend,she too seemed clueless.. Unable to bear it...
