My daughter went to the car parked nearby, to keep the bag that had gone heavy after we had made some purchases from the provision store. She would join us in a minute, she said, and advised me to have Golgappa from the nice eatery in the shopping arcade.
Without waiting for her I and his seven year old son, Sidhant, walked into the Golgappa shop.I asked for Golgappa, and soon the boy gave me a paper cup to hold. I asked for another, for my daughter, and asked a quiet Sidhant to hold it till his mother arrived.
The boy placed a Golgappa on my cup and I had the ultimate delight, when its nectar filled my mouth and made me feel immortal. He had placed a Golgappa on Sidhant's cup too . I thought Sidhant would make a mess of it. I saw no trace of it in the cup. He had opened his mouth as wide as I did, had put the entire Golgappa with the same ease as I did, and quietly finished it. He was now as eager for the second one as I was. We ate with same speed and comfort till our quota of six each was reached.
I narrated my excitement to his mother. She was cool and told me how Sidhant loved Golgappa as much as I did. That was the reason she had decided to leave both of us alone while she looked for something else in a nearby shop.
