A Journalist Reveals Creativity, Sustainability and Spirituality – We reveal the unrevealed.
I penned this story, When Radha went back to college… (Part VI), as a Guru Dakshina to all my teachers and professors, some years ago.
When Radha went back to college… (Part VI)
Everything arranged properly, Radha approached the pan shop, alone. “I need some joints, please. This is for my birthday party,” she whispered.
“We don’t sell joints. What are they?”
She realized that this took some convincing. However, it took her just ten minutes. The vendor picked up his mobile and dialed a number and discreetly spoke into the cell. She did not hear what he said, but soon the man handed it over to her.
On the other end was a man, who also needed some convincing. The moment he was convinced and the mobile was handed over to the shop vendor, the latter spoke into it and cut off the call. “That will be Rs.1000.”
When she had paid him and he had checked the amount and the notes, the man fished out a black plastic bag, turned his back and filled it up with something. He gave this bag to her. She opened the bag and saw what she wanted. Then, she dropped the green cloth she was carrying like a handkerchief!
That was the signal the police wanted. They came from nowhere and surrounded the shop.
