Life in KNIT was wierd and the people... WIERDER. This guy was one of them. Wierd but someone who you'd never forget till you lived.
The first wierd things about the place Sultanpur, and the people started off with their names.
The places were named like Kudebhaar (a hill of garbage), ganda naala (dirty drain), thandi galli (cold street) which was the name of the red light area and so on.
And the people were named like Jaalim (the guy who brought milk), Dildar (the dhobi), Jhagdu (the rickshaw guy) and of course Majnu (the walking talking supermarket, the postman, the 007).
The walking talking supermarket - This guy used to come with a bag full of goodies (biscuits, bhujia and the lots) and knock on every door.
The Postman - He was one of the only MALE species allowed within the Red Walls of the Girls Hostel. And it was obvious that he was used to smuggle contraband (such as greeting cards and small gifts) across the border.
007 - Since he was the only guy who could enter without any id's within the Red Walls, guys used to ask him a lot of questions. And sometimes he even exaggerated enough to add to people's excitement. He'd learnt the way of the boys.
But all in all a simple man with a simple soul who made a living selling simple stuffs to people who'd later become very very complicated. And he continued to do so till one day his good soul left his not so good mortal body.
I wish him all the best and hope that he'll be born an even better person in his new life.
