He took me to his room over the Jumna Sweet Shop and told me I could sleep
on the balcony. But the meal I cooked that night must have been terrible because
Anil gave it to a stray dog and told me to be off. But I just hung around, smiling in
my most appealing way, and he couldn’t help laughing. Later, he patted me on the
head and said never mind, he’d teach me to cook. He also taught me to write my
name and said he would soon teach me to write whole sentences and to add
numbers. I was grateful. I knew that once I could write like an educated man there
would be no limit to what I could achieve. It was quite pleasant working for Anil. I
made the tea in the morning and then would take my time buying the day’s supplies,
usually making a profit of about a rupee a day. I think he knew I made a little money
this way but he did not seem to mind. Anil made money by fits and starts. He
would borrow one week, lend the next. He kept worrying about his next cheque,
but as soon as it arrived he would go out and celebrate. It seems he wrote for
magazines a queer way to make a living! One evening he came home with a small
bundle of notes, saying he had just sold a book to a publisher. At night, I saw him
tuck the money under the mattress.
