"Shirdi se aae hain babu. Shanivaar ko Indiranagar me Sai Baba ka....."
"Abhi time nahi hai "
"Beta naukri karte ho ya padhte ho"
"Job"
"Khush to nahi ho. Time pass hi kar rahe ho. Thoda sabr karo. Aage achcha time hai tumhara"
[Yes, what a thing to say. How innovative!]
"mmm..."
"umar kya hai "
"25"

[Next year, I apply for MBA. 2009, aged 27, I might actually be out of India. I hang on waiting for him to ask for money]
"jyada friendship nahi karna. dukh pahuch sakta hai..."
[I hang on still]
"shanivaar ko shave nahi karna ...."
[I have a 4 day stubble]
"Marathi ho kya"
"nahi, Bangali"
[Some conversation about Kolkata]
"Shirdi gae ho"
"Haan, 1 baar"
"Lo beta, Sai Baba ka phool le ke jao."
[I go down, even though I know that he is just about to ask for money]
"Bangali brahman ho kya"
"haan"

"Motorcycle jyada mat chalana. Accident ho sakta hai . 2 baar Baba ne bacha lia hai, Sambhaal ke, haan..."
[Since I bought my bike, I have had 2 instances of falling from it. Both, could have been fatal but I escaped without even scratches]
"jee dyan se chalunga"
"ye lo beta.. Baba ka phool. kuch de do.. 100 rupae"
"ghar me paise nahi hai jee abhi"
[I have about 1500 in cash in my purse]
"kitne hain?"
"kuch 30 / 40 rupae hain "
[Yes, I lie without batting an eyelid]
"theek hai beta.. agli baar jyada de dena... khush raho"
I come back to my room where Scorpions is playing the acoustic version of "Always Somewhere", shave and head to office.
