Deep Chand who was cutting the hair of an elderly gentleman, was so startled that his
hand shook and he nicked his customer's right ear. The customer
yelped with pain and distress
pain, because of the cut and distress because of the awful news he had just heard. With one side
of his neck still unshaven, he sped across the road to the general merchant's store where there
was a telephone. He dialled Seth Govind Ram's number. The Seth was not at home. Where was
he, then? The Seth was holidaying in Kashmir. Oh, was that so? The elderly gentleman did not
believe it. He hurried back to the barber's shop and told Deep Chand: "The bird has flown!
Seth Govind Ram has left town. Definitely
, it means a collapse.' And then he dashed out of the
shop, making a beeline for his office and chequebook.
The news spread through the bazaar with the rapidity of forest fire. From the general
merchant's it travelled to the shop, circulated amongst the customers, and then spread with
them in various directions, to the betel-seller, the tailor, the free vendor, the jeweller, the
beggar sitting on the pavement.
