The way people can be

It was hot october afternoon. Sultry and sleepy. She tried to concentrate on what she was studying. Her mother was resting for some time. a smallest of "siesta" after which she would get up and continue with the work. just then the bell rang. She opened the door. Postman was outside. they had some post. the postman demended money. at that time she noticed that the envelope had no stamp.She paid the money and opened the envelope. it was her photo and "patrika/janma kundali" returned. She smiled. she was used to that. Just then her mother got up and asked her. after she narrated ...her mother was thoughtful. "whoops these people dont want to pay even for the post???...that too 10 bucks? what attitude". she consoled her mom. but this is what set her wondering why do such things happen. there are times when people want to chnge her. in terms of way she dresses up or the time where her food habits are questioned. this is one more experience. of how people can be...not having even the decency of paying the postage :):) good...its really an experience.."one of its kind" saying this she got back to her studying.
