Flipping it

Will it help if the garbage bins in our country were fixed with sensors that yelp as we walk by? A sincere/studious looking DU-looking student at a bustop walks past a shiny steel trashcan, raised on a stand, two inches from her, and still throws her bus ticket down on her other side!

Backing

And then there was once this day when I was in a bus back from college, and it was backing out of a trapped lane.
The conductor tried to warn the driver- "dekh ke peechhe gadi hai!", to which the driver replied- "gadi hi toh hai, jahaaz nahi hai!"

Price

I was at a bookshop in an east-of-Delhi mall yesterday, waiting in line to the payment counter with my mom's birthday presents in hand. A counter stacked with books called "Mom is always right" (was i gifting that- well not really), and 300/- little fridge magnets on the wall behind it bearing images of Delhi and her idiosyncrasies.

I was still reading all the names of books around like a vacuum cleaner when suddenly my ear caught a young woman telling her husband- "But hum usko 200 rupees ka gift toh nahi de sakte!" And the husband went rushing back to the children's section behind me.

It was a bookshop, and there was a sale going on, and I hoped the couple wasn't talking about their own daughter, whom I think I saw behind me probing around in the stacks towards which the man ran.
