Train to Jaipur There was a big queue At the railway reservation-counter. While waiting for my turn to come I was observing the young man Sitting at the counter. Besides his usual duties He was also doing other things ; Like doing out of turn reservation for some. Suddenly an old lady rushes in, Upset and nervous, As she just missed the train to Jaipur. Her son, she hadn’t met for ages, lives there. She wanted reservation For the next train to Jaipur That was to depart soon. A son at the counter Gave berth to a mother, out of turn. The lady thanked the young man, And as a way of gratitude, Offered the young man some money, She thought was customary. The young man didn’t say much, Simply murmured, “I can’t cheat a mother.” (From the book ‘The Better Half’ by Purnendu Ghosh)
