Those stuffed samosas………
Good marks promoted me to coveted St. Francis School with
new environment. We continued with Gani‟s rikshaw.
Didi gave 50paise daily as pocket money, which was
substantial that time. Hardly anyone gets that money.
Classmates were mostly Anglo-Indians and discrimination
amongst us was unavoidable.
School canteen offered two grades of samosas – 10paise dry-
fruit filled and 5paise potato stuffed.
Best friend enjoyed 10paise samosa while others 5paise on
nearly daily basis. Friends compete secretly to become my
best friend…..probably for dry-fruit samosa.
School time ends but memories last forever and sometimes
you look back at school photographs finding those recurring
best friends………
