Rishi and I were going to meet L yesterday evening and we met Teacher Auntie on the way. I greeted her as usual and was proceeding but she had something to say. She said, "You know, I met your daughter with her cycle just now and asked her if she could give me a ride. She didn't say anything so I pressed her saying my leg was aching and it would be great if she could give me a ride. You know what she said? 'Take an auto'!! Your husband also heard it!". I was all set to laugh but the last sentence kind of put me on guard and I ended up expressing solidarity with her.
I inquired Anu about it later in the day. She complained too. "How could she sit on my cycle? It would break!" . She didn't seem convinced on either of the points that I explained - that Auntie's weight wouldn't break her cycle or that Auntie was only saying it for fun.
