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 flattery helps in making freinds.
"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-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.
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 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.
