If Manav had to buy something,he should have asked baba to wait for him in the bank and not come outside till he's there...I found both of them quite a bit foolish...3 lakhs means so much to them n yet they take no precautions against robbery.
dropped in briefly. BTW. Will get mor einto thsi at night time once chores are done.
guys hate to say this. My dad is one of the most sensible men I have met. He is 80 now. When he was 72, he was robbed inexactly this manner of Rs. 80K when he walked out of the neighbourhood bank.
tehy never foundthe robbers. he refused to tell anyone outside family becasue he knew they would laugh at his him and accuse him of beign naive. I felt so horribel for him that day. We as a family still don't bring it up in front of him. I still do not remember why he was taking out the money in cash and not using a check. BTW, this cash business happens a lot in regular business in Inida. I have seen it happening. There is a huge parallel economy. even houses are sold with some black and some white money i.e. black means cash and white means cheque or traceable money and the registration fee is based on the whit eamount as it is the only amount that appears on the deed.
