The morning newspaper is still a habit that one does not want to give up no matter how much the papers themselves have changed.
Sunday morning I stepped out to find it strewn all over the car parking area of the house.
Monday was slightly better with just the whole papers in two different corners.
This morning I lay in wait to tell the paper boy that he should drop it in the verandah instead of the gate area.
"Bhai, from tomorrow please drop the paper in front of the door in the verandah instead of here in front of the gate. The wind is blowing it away in all directions"
Guess what the response was ?
If you thought of an 'okay' or 'alright' there was a prompt question - "Doesnt the same wind blow there also ? Will it not scatter the paper ? "
I am still dumbfounded - is it so difficult to respond politely to a request ? And that a genuine one !!
Whither society ?
