Saau Rupayaa.

He took me out from his locker. I had been there since ages. I was given by his aunty as a gift on his birthday ten years back. He put me in his wallet and the rest of the bunch in his bag. He sat in a taxi. I was handed over to the taxi driver. He took a passenger. The passenger was in hurry. In the hurry, the driver broke the signal and was caught by the police. I was handed over to the police. The police had a severe cough. Thus he went to the doctor to get him checked up. I was given to the doctor. The doctor was a very kind and generous person. He used to donate a lot. As he was walking home , he met a beggar. He donated me to him. The beggar was so happy. He had the biggest smile on his face. It was after many days that the beggar and his family had a wholesome dinner. I was given to the VadaPav man. Yeah, for them VadaPav is a wholesome food. That night I was with the VadaPav man. Next day the Vasooli gang came to pick me up. They took me to the mantri of that area. I am here. In the ceiling of his house. Hidden. On the whole journey I met different sorts of people. All of them used me differently. It's all on my use. I am the most powerful object ever made. I can help people as well as destroy them. I can give an extra seat for education. I can make unfair things fair or fair things unfair. People love me and want me. But it's better you stay away from me. Don't find happiness in me. For that happiness lasts for a very short time and can convert to sorrow anytime.

Rickshaw.

Let him sit! Oh God this man! That boy was looking very tired. We could have dropped him. His destination was on our way. Wait. That old lady wants us to leave her somewhere. She's shouting my name. Let's take her for gods sake! Aree! What's your problem? Don't you want to earn today. Why did you stop now, suddenly? Just because she's a good looking lady? Why didn't you pick the old woman then? Why are you so partial and choosy? Its your job. You need to transport these people. They must be in emergency. Why do you go in gaps between cars even if you know that the others are gonna get stuck. Don't you realize how bad it is to spit on the road? Because of people like you, my name is getting spoilt. Please, please stop doing this. Listen, they are calling out my name. Pick and Help them. For we are here for their service and we must do our duty without any hesitation.

Haati.

"Kuch Do Na! Khaane ko!", I beg on streets for food and money for my master who is begging along with me. He gets food everyday, but doesn't bother to give me some. He does give me sometimes, but quite rare. But it's now a habit. I have been with him since 50 years in this concrete jungle, begging. Sometimes he takes me to weddings. I'm an attraction there. But I'm tired of this life now. In the hot summer I feel dehydrated sometimes." But if you need to survive, you need to beg. "That's what my master has taught me. I don't remember where I stayed before I met my master. But I'm sure, there was a pond and many trees all around. I get them in my dreams, sometimes. I just wonder when I'll get to see it in reality. But till then, I need to be here, to help this poor guy. For God has sent me here for this purpose.
