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, lan
fellow -- and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I hadn't had much lack
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 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." Ilied. 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-oiled wrestlers 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 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.
Tasked, "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 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 appearing way, and he couldn't help
laughing.
