Question

I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly
successful hand. Anil was watching match when I approached him. He was about 25 – a tall,
lean fellow - and he looked casy 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 flattery helps in making friends.
"So do you," he replied, which put me oll 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. Thal kept me ahead of the police and my
former employers. After this introduction, Anil talked about the well-oiled wrestlers who were
grunting, liſiting 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 appealing smile. "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
my bel can feed you." 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
il to a stray dog and told me to be off. But I just hung around, smiling in my most appealing
and he couldn't help laughing.
