After helping him unpack the second-hand books from the
white sack, I watched him arrange those for display on a red sheet. His name is
Ajay. A young chap of 15 hailing from UP, Ajay goes to school on weekdays and
sells books on weekends.
'Mai itni dur se aye hai. Mai apa ke sath ek photo lene ke
liye nahi milta hai?' I asked
'Acchi nahi lag rahi', he replied and shied away.
A candid had to be clicked by the lemon soda vendor. I decided to purchase 'Turning Points', by Dr. APJ that
aptly stands for the vision of young minds like that of Ajay's, at an
unbargained price.
In the company of books, Ajay will grow up to be an asset to
this nation.
