The early morning, phone rang up with a notification. Probably it's from someone in a different time zone. I hoped it would be a cute chic. But the 'true-caller' claimed it is a old friend from my previous company.
He came from a rural rustic backdrop of Bihar. Someone i have never seen growing up.
He ate most cost effective food, wore the most cost effective dress and travelled the cost effective way in the hope of saving enough.
As luck would have it, he got into a niche technology, worked hard studying it and moved on. I joined what is called the largest bank and took a different turn altogether.
As I was saying his mellow heart cried when he thought others were earning better.
So he pinged me after years and wanted a treat from me.
I asked him where is he at this odd hour
'USA'
'Thank God, i can't give you a treat'
As I listened to his reasons on why I was considered to be luckier i was picturising all the 'right' turns i missed
