The Bungalow on the Corner of the Street

           “It’s  not  Mrs.  Tripathi’s  house.  Mr.  Tripathi  bought  it,”
           snapped Mrs. Gulati.

           “Wonder  where  Mr.  Tripathi  is  getting  all  the  money
           from?  He  can’t  be  getting  so  much  money  for  his
           promotions?” Mrs. Sharma said.

           Harsh  was  listening  to  his  mother  and  Mrs.  Gulati.  He
           quietly  slipped  out  of  the  room  where  the  two  women
           went on bickering about the house. He went to Rohan’s
           house, asked if he could meet Rohan, and they went to buy
           lemon drinks at the shop that was next to the bungalow.

           Rohan couldn’t understand why Harsh was so quiet. He
           usually talked nineteen to a dozen. Rohan asked him to
           say something. Harsh tried to cheer up, said a few things,
           then casually wished him good bye.

           He went back home and found his father watching TV. He
           sat  next  to  his  father  and  asked  him,  “Papa,  why  has
           Tripathi uncle bought a new house?”

           “Maybe because he needed it and had the money to buy
           it, Harsh. His company won an award recently and they
           promoted Mr. Tripathi for it,” he said.

           “What did Tripathi uncle do, Papa?” asked Harsh.
