I felt sick that this was the Indian sanskriti which we showed to our esteemed guest. I watched from the lawns of the Bombay Gym as an urchin ran behind a season ball in vain. It is so easy to be hit by a ball or by a controversy for that matter. Sunny, who has always been a good friend is now in a potboiler. We had several lunches at the Oberoi and the Coffee shop and he always came across as a courteous and calm man.
Today is the end of the week.
Life has changed so much over the years. The office goer would come home half day and make plans for the weekend, children would begin training for their gully matches and movie halls were guaranteed housefull, no matter how bad the film. Today, how things have changed. A saffron clad man is arrested on Saturday and the worker feels frustration for not getting a half day from work on a week day. Just the thought of a missed half day makes getting injured in the riots seem like nothing.
