Once, many years ago, when Laloo was a schoolboy, he was traveling alone on a train in Bihar.
He had taken his pet rabbit with him. The ticket-checker came along and asked for Laloo's ticket.
In those halcyon days, you could buy your ticket even after boarding the train.
You see, the population was small, (Laloo wasn't married then) and trains ran near empty.
Laloo asked for one ticket. The T.C. asked whose rabbit that was.
Laloo said it was his. So the T.C. said he had to buy 2 tickets, one for himself and one for his rabbit. Laloo did as asked.
Seated next to him was an old lady, who said, "Chhora, tero khargosh hamey zaraa de. Main usko thora aadar karungi."
Laloo readily obliged. A station arrived and Laloo got off to have some tea.
In the hustle-bustle of the platform, the rabbit took fright and jumped right out of the window.
The old lady called urgently to Laloo that his rabbit had run away.
Saith Laloo, future king-maker of India, "Phikar na kare, ma-ji. Oo jayath kidhar, tikkat hamra pass hai na?" 🤣🤣🤣
