An Impressive Ricksaw Puller


I met this Hard working and genuine guy during my official trip to Agra in the smouldering month of May. He was in the wrong side of forties, the age where most of the government employees either worried of there flabby body, diabetes and other major diseases or are thinking of the voluntary retirement to spend the quality time with their grand sons and grand daughters.

I had to be in hurry in order to manage my time since I was already running out of time as the train was scheduled to arrive in an hour. Also I had the sharp instructions from my friends not to return from agra without the Petha (Famous sweet dish of city Agra and Aligarh). 

Though I was guided to buy Petha from the famous Panchi stores but in hurry I told him "bhaisahab, I have to catch the train in an hour, but first take me to the famous store for buying the Petha" 

"Ji saheb dont you worry" were the only words he uttered.

It was small shop, as small as you can not even imagine why its so famous but the name engraved on the top was big, yes the rickshaw puller was able to come up with the expectations of my friends who instructed me to buy petha from "Panchi Petha store only, Agra" which I almost forget.

He was thin and was old,
