Said wifefrom behind."And mind you, atttention will haveto be paid to complexion also" cautionedfather."For that you are there." The wife said."You know, that leaves a lot of scopefor deception. Have heard of beauticianswho would do such a 'fair job' that youwon't come to know of the originalcomplexion" wondered father.At this his adolescent daughter sittingbehind sniggered."O darling, I guess you would seethrough the original?" quizzed the father."Oh, yeah father." The daughteragreed."And what's the height of Dulhan (girl)in bio-data?" asked father.fgndi •"Five feet six inches." His daughterinformed."And how tall Napani is?" Asked father."Five feet three inches" His daughtertold."That means standing beside Napani,Dulhan should look three inches taller forwhich we will have to make allowance."Father said."What if she fell short of an inch orso, Saheb!" Bantered the driver."How the heck she will fall short?"Wondered father."You are right, Saheb. To ascertainbeforehand is just the right thing." Addedthe driver."And mind you, no idle talks.Whatever is happening in UP, how doesthat concern us? We are family people.Somehow managing to live saving our lives.We don't have to dance to the tune ofpolitics" Saying this, father lapsed intosilence.Transverse on the road ahead lay a longgreen branch of a tree and four guys weremotioning with their hands for the car tostop. Father immediately whipped out thewallet from his pocket. From it, he puta tenner in his fist and some tenners heput in his other pocket. And then the walletin the inner secret pocket Won't be safeto take out purse every time to shell outmoney at different points. Lest those goonssnatched the purse? father thought.

Fatherasked."Congress, Communist, BJP...whichever you like"One of them coolly said."So you guys play politics" said fathersmilingly."Are you a stupid cunt?" one of theboys quipped.Father put a tenner in his hand. Theboy rolled the note, spat in it and madeas if to hand it back to father."What's this?" Father winced."Returning your thing with interest,spit... You corrupt rascal, how much youhave digested?" The boy flicked the notewet with spit, at father.Father dodged sideways."Where's your home?" asked anotherboy."Dumrao." Promptly replied father."Raja Ka Budhwa Jharela Hey Sala!"Two boys laughed mutually."Today is an inauspicious day." Fathersaid."What did you say?""Not to you," Father quickly changedtrack."Trying to act smart. You rascal cheat,you bloody cheat people, government...amass wealth. Will move in two cars andpreach philosophy!"Father vaguely smiled."Look at this green branch? will rudelyforce it up your bottom to scare thedaylight out of you." Said one boy dourly."Oh no, I' m happy to have seen you""Happy?"Father again smiled wanely.'Fork out you craven coward, or else"Threatened the boy."How much, Saheb" Getting out ofthe car the driver asked."Seventy for two vehicles."The driver handed the money from hisown pocket."Pick up that currency Panditji andpaste it on your vermillioned forehead"Saying this the boy moved towards otherheld-up vehicles.Thus paying goons a tax at four orfive places, father and party reachedBhagalpur.
