helps in making
flattery
A little
I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful
hand Anil was watching a wrestling match when I approached him. He was about 25 - a tall,
lean fellow - and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose I hadn't had
much luck of late and thought I might be able to get into the young man's confidence
"You look a bit of a wrestler yourself," I said. A little flatteryhelps in making friends.
"So do you," he replied, which put me off for a moment because at that time I was rather thin
"Well," I said modestly, "I do wrestle a bit."
"What's your name?" "Hari Singh," I lied. I took a new name every month. That kept me ahead of
the police and my former employers.
After this introduction, Anil talked about the well-oiledwrestlers who were grunting, lifting and
throwing each other about. I didn't have much to say Anil walked away
I followed casually "Hello again," he said. I gave him my most appealingsmile "I want to work
for you," I said. "But I can't pay you." I thought that over for a minute. Perhaps I had misjudged
my man.
I asked, "Can you feed me?"
"Can you cook?"
"I can cook," I lied again.
"If you can cook, then may be I can feed you."He took me to his room over the Jumna SweetShop
and told me I could sleep on the balcony. Butthe meal I cooked that night must have been
terrible because Anil gave it to a stray dog and told me tobe off. But I just hung around, smiling
in my mostappealing way, and he couldn't help laughing.
