the land of GOLD

raju met me a few mins b4 i cud've been comfy wid eneone... his taxi was cool and his manner polite...he seemed like a small towner and eager for life's encounters...at 26 he was modest ... then he mentioned the land of the AG... and splendid though he felt... he was not shy like i was .... n i did not hide it... my 6th time was close i knew... but how n when only the butterflies in me could predict.... he parked far away...and we walked down throught atleast a dozen streets and abt 3-4 kms. He asked for a re-round and i didnt hesitate.... and it was his fancy -bengali talk that did the trick.... ppl wud be snubbed, but if i was out to earn n had no respectful clients i wudnt like my job too.....he was smart in finances and also was best with bargaining... at last after 3 hrs of raju time... i must hav smoked to breath and relief.... only if i was street smart..... raju learnt it the hard way..... it was his choices i believe.... mine lead me ahead...and it was not a memory too kill...
