Question

an encounter of special kind short story

Answer 1

I was going in a train from Ernakulam to Calicut during winters.

An old man in rags came into the empty compartment and sat in front of me.

I thought he was a poor beggar and offered him my tiffin, which he politely refused.

Before going to sleep, he took off his torn rags and left me shocked.

He was wearing 24 carat gold jewellery with latest Blackberry handset in his pocket.

When I asked him about his identity, he gave me a free sample of his book ' advertising in a nutshell'.

Below were his credentials -

Shantaram Nair
CEO, Bubble Media.
Chairman, South Indian Advertisers association.

I just could not believe that I was travelling with a millionaire.
