Cycle of Cliches
That was also when I could think about things – about the stories to tell my class-mates.
Nisim told me and Biswa about Jogu Mama the other day when we had gone for a bi-cycle ride to the Ganesh Ghat. Nisim pedalling the bi-cycle, Biwsa sitting on the carrier and I, on the horizontal rod that joined the handle and the seat. Three-in-one. While we were sitting at the stairs of the Ganesh Ghat and watching the dhobis wash clothes with silt-filled water of the Brahmaputra, Nisim said that during his conversations with Jogu Mama, he had got to know that the latter was rich, in fact, filthy rich; that he owned thirty nine Full-Punjab-body trucks.
