Des Mera Rangrez Hai Babu

Things were all going on fine. I had reached the Vikroli Station. The auto fare was 32 Rs. I gave him the 32 Rs and checked my purse. There were a couple of 100 Rs notes and a 50 ps coin. I checked out the crowd on the trains and decided that going by second class will be a safe option and so I stood in the queue. In my front there was a stout lady, behind me a frail lady came and stood. I reached the ticket window and pulled out a 100 Rs note. The lady on the counter asked for 1 Rs coin saying that the fare was 11 Rs. I replied back that i was not having any 1 Rs coin ... So she said that she cannot give me ticket without a 1 Rs coin and asked me to go and get one .As I tried to reason with her, I realized that an unreasonable person was manning the counter and there was no way I will be able to get any ticket from the counter, I went in search for the elusive 1 Rs coin. As I reached the door, there was a hesitant tap on my back. I turned around and saw the frail lady standing with a 2 Rs coin in her hand and a kind loving smile on her face. She said "Go and give this to that lady and get your ticket". I was too shocked to react, accepted the coin and as my wits and brains gathered together I mumbled together a thanks but the lady had vanished into the crowd. I looked to both sides of the platform , that lady was nowhere to be seen ..

I got my ticket, caught the next train towards my destination. That lady's smile was still there in my eyes and the song that was resonating in my head was the Peepli Live song – Des Mera Rangrez Hai  Babu .
