I sat in the sofa in his office. The young man looked
vaguely familiar for me. I knew I had met him somewhere
but could not place it. I wondered whether I had taught
this boy. When I meet my student after many year I often
fail to recognise them. They looked very different and mature
The man smiled on me. There was a dimple on his cheek
and then I knew who he was. He was some of the two kids
which used to work in a garage a decade back. He sat down
opposite me, closed his eyes or started telling his story
