Life on the Run...

Oozing out in a mall with cold drinks and friend to accompany in a summer evening....Makes life slide into the rare unconventional mode, where you are extracted out of your responsibilities and priorities...

Amidst such a lasting backdrop of life, a more contrasting conventional sight gave me a second thought to ponder about. It might be time for us to take the rear seat and stretch out. But life doesn't holds the same for all.

Two guys in a winding summer evening, sweating out in front of
the mall in every possible way to make a sale....Hmmm...guess what!? Selling latest edition of Oxford Dictionary, an Encyclopedia.

This indeed raised a topic among us. Both agreed to the same conclusion. They should have something more cool this summer to market.

The one attired in tie named Rakesh, promises the Oxford Dictionary @ an unbelievable price of Rs. 500/- (approx. $ 12), which is tagged MRP 49 UK pounds.

The one next to him is Amar, commits the same wordings about the Encyclopedia.

We were there from 7:30pm till 11:15 pm witnessing the unputdownable efforts of these brave martyrs against the inexorable customers and the moist humid deccan climate, unable to make a single sale.


Not with pity but with concern, walked up to these folks. Both of us were welcomed with the scripted pitch which was almost by heart to us. We made one thing very clear to them that we were not talking to them to buy their stuff. To this Amar refutes saying, "What makes you walk up to us?", which sounded very rhetorical as he continues "Is it out of petty??"

Honestly speaking none of us were pinched by his expression, 'coz even we were thwarted of happened in the past three and a half hours. On further conversation with these guys, it revealed that they work only for their salary. They are not bestowed with the blessing of incentives, perks, commissions, etc unlike most of us.

At some point we felt buying their books, however, our pockets didn't allow. The session of the strangers was a rich exchange of experience and views.

It was time to say adieu. We shake hands.
In the meanwhile Amar slipped his visiting card onto me requesting to forward any reference, with a sense of apology for his previous act. This aroused Rakesh's senses as well, and did the same.

Suddenly the bulb glow right next to my head, and I asked them for a snap.And the entire of concept of Blogging ratified my senses as if i was a born Bloggers!

Watch out the Irony of Fate, guys who were almost hooting and cribbing for sale in the crowd, showed a thing line of shyness to give a cheesy look in front of the camera.

We seek their permission to publish their contact info across the globe online, and they were more than happy to it.

The trip to the mall was to fancy around, but eventually it turned around to be a sensitive journey with hoards of experience and exchange of views.
