One evening at T-Nagar and Indian GDP(gross domestic product)
A week after the grand Diwali celebration i was going to meet a friend in T-nagar and waiting for her near the famous Renganathan street. The end of Diwali didn’t give much a rest to the all time busy street and it was crowded that day too. There came a woman with a child in her hand begging in the street . She went to a guy asking for the money telling him about her poverty and stuffs as she does to everyone all the 365 days. As a reply neither he gave some money nor sent her away but told her that he cannot give money but he can get something for her and the child to eat . Hearing that she became so happy and with a small hesitation asked “Sir, can you buy two ice creams”. That guy just smiling to himself got those ice creams , gave it to them and walked away . As a background score to all this, i was able to hear a guy selling newspaper “Interesting news sir , Indian GDP has reached ever high 9 point, …… ” , “Interesting news sir , Indian GDP has reached ever high 9 point, ……”
ok dude i know tht Guy is U… but why are u shunning away to mention tht… well if i was in ur place even i would hav done the same…
