The Cycle Repairer!

Another leap from the memory lane....

Was on my way to work, than I saw this cycle repairer on the road side-fixing a cycle. He had nothing more than a sheet of polythene to cover him from the heat or the rain. This sight took me back to my childhood days.

There was this cycle repairer in the neighborhood fondly known as 'German'- the 'G' pronounced as 'Ga'. He was also more popular for his cunningness.. He had a son and at times it was difficult to figure out who the father is and who the son was... both looked the same age, white haired. Son died first! SAD....

Okay, talking about his cunningness; he used to charge money from anyone who uses the cycle pump which was pretty odd those days.. and people paid as they had no choice!! He was nearest one so we used to go to him to fix or repair cycles, being old he was slow- too slow- and above that he would charge an extra rupee for anything he would do. That cunning he was!!

I do not know how this present guy is for I do not have a cycle!!
