Prodigious...aint it?



I come out of a railway station searching an auto. I see an auto driver fiddling with his cellphone. He sees me. I tell him the destination. He nods in agreement.
I get in. He is still fiddling with his cell fone.

ME: चलो भय्या!!
HE: चलता हु जी... एक मिनट।
ME(irritated): क्या कर कर रहे हो.. कबसे बैठा हु..चलो वरना किसी और ऑटो में चला जाता हु!!
HE(shoving his cellphone in his pocket): जी गाने डाउनलोड कर रहा था....
ME: आप इन्टरनेट use करना जानते है??
HE: हां!! बस फ़िल्म के नाम के आगे '.com' लगा दो...गाने आ जाते है !!
ME(amused): अच्छा ?? बोहोत बढ़िया..गाने डाउनलोड करने के अलावा और भी किसी चीज़ के लिए इसका इस्तमाल करते हो??
HE: अभी बस एक हफ्ता हुआ है फ़ोन ख़रीदा है.. सिख लूँगा!!

in my further conversations I learned that he left his school in 4th grade because of his family responsibilities. It was an half hour ride till my destination॥it was good knowing and talking to this guy!!
