Now he's retired,(2016)and I'm still selling kulfi's,on the same chetak i have had. Your dad and all the others who have been my regular customers have kept me going. Your good wishes and a little hardwork."

"Ao beta Prashad lelo.Bhagwan ke naam par daan bhi dedo.
-Par mere pas paise nahi hai baba.
Chalo theek hai joa.Bhagwan tumhari raksha kare.
-Baba aapki photo lelu?
Haan haan zarur lo! Ham usko hi aapki tarf se daan samajh lenge."

(I couldn't translate every word of the conversation i had,thus in hindi )

"My name?What's in it for you?It's Abhishek by the way.
I'm 10 years old.I Was getting bored at school so I came back at 12 to sell some fruits.Don't try and bargain.I know what the price is,I know it better than you do."

(After buying half a kg of guavas,he lost his attitude and let me take a picture)

ALthough I couldn't get a good picture of him.This moved me.I was clicking random pictures and he came up to me.He made some gestures conveying his message.It was that he also wanted a photo clicked.I clicked the picture,Showed it to him.He seemed very happy.After that,when I was leaving , he joined his hands,his face showed that he was wanting to say "Namaste".

*My mom and dad discussing something about the fort*
He saw them from a distance and then came to them.

"May I be allowed to interrupt?The fort on your left is the King's fort and the fort to your right is the Queen's fort.Hello.My name is Gaurav.I study in 8th standard.I am a guide here."

*He said all this in english.My mom dad were left stunned.They asked him about his parents*

"My biological mother died long back.Recently my father got married again,on the 24th of February 2013.I have three sisters,all younger to me.I have been a guide for a few months and i have learnt seven languages from across the globe.Not from some classes,I learnt them by listening to the tourists here."

*Then my sister asked what he plans to do in the future*

"I want to become a guide or a pilot.More interested to become a pilot but i don't have funds to pay for my higher studies.My mother is a shopkeeper and my dad sits at home all day long.My main goal is to provide education to all the children who cannot afford to go to school.Children like me.After all we are the future of the country too.(after rich people)"

*My mother offered him money*

"No no please I can't take this.Meeting you and your family was enough."

(We still made him keep the money,asked him to buy a chocolate for himself.He happily went,Looking at the sky,he kept moving on.)

"Hello sir,My name is Manoj.Whenever i see people interested in photography,I take them even to the restricted area's.I see you and your sister are very much interested.Do you want a free tour to the restricted area's?
(We said yes and after the tour,we offered him money)
No no sir please don't.I get a salary from the government.I am the guard here,I just helped you as a favour from my side,no monetary interest.The happiness that i see on your faces when i offer to take you to the restricted area's is more than enough for me."

"Basically,I work as a caddy at the golf course.It has been 5 weeks and 3 days since I started working here.The money I earn is on a daily basis.These pups have created a really strong bond with me,as if I were their father.Moving on.When I have a lesser fruitful day and I'm tired and depressed,these puppies come and cheer me up.And when I have a fruitful day,I feed the pups biscuits.You see me with the pups right now.How do you think may day was like ?"

"I am never good at getting photos clicked and sometimes I get camera-nervous,times where I make sudden movements before getting a picture clicked,A movement that hides my face.Ugh!I did it again.See?!Let's stop clicking now,please?You will just waste time and I'm sure you must've heard,time is money."

"I sell low quality ci******es for a living.I don't know why I'm smiling while telling you this.Camera's get me all the time.
Anyways back to the point.
I sell ci******es for a living and I think I might be the cause of rise in the death toll by lung diseases.It sounds crazy but doesn't it sound legitimate as well?You tell me.

"Fisherman-(saw my camera and asked)Are you from the media?
Me-No uncle.
Fisherman-You have a really good camera there.I've seen what kind of pictures it clicks in the newspaper.Do you mind clicking a picture of me?
Me-No no not at all.I'll even give you a print out of the photo.
Fisherman-(Posing with the fish he caught)Is it okay like this ?
Me-Perfect."

He seemed so happy with his photograph being clicked by a good camera.I think his smile says it all.
I'm giving him the printed photo tomorrow.
