There was a family in Delhi, looking for a house to rent. They saw a 4 BHK house. For Rent for Rs.750 per month. But the family can afford only Rs.450. The owner lived in Hissar. Hissar is 175 km by bus and it takes 4 hours to reach there. One of the sons wanted to go to Hissar and talked to owner and agree him to a Rs.450 a month rent.
He takes a bus, travels for 4 hours, arrives in Hissar. He enquired with lot of people and arrives at the owner’ s residence. He was the General Manager of a large local company, He was lying on a bed and 2 guys were giving him body massage.
This guy told him the reason for his travel. The owner said NO. By that time, it was getting dark. The owner said since it is getting dark there is no bus to Delhi. You stay with me for the night and go to Delhi the next morning.
They had dinner together.
After dinner, a most beautiful girl, who can be a movie actress, brought two plates of mango and served the owner and this guy. They ate the mango. She was the owner’s daughter. The owner wanted to go to the local social club and play cards. He took this guy to the club. He just watched while the owner played card. On the way home at 12 midnight, the owner told him he will rent the home for Rs.450 even though his asking price is Rs,750.
Next morning, the owner told his driver to take his car and drop him in Delhi.
Here is something not real. Usually in this type of story, the guy and the beautiful girl will fall in love and get married. But he never saw her again,
Maybe this much of rent only back in 1966 or 1967 that too in a location like Safdarjung enclave in Delhi.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Anonymous. Looks like you are more creative by giving more Masala to this fictional story.
DeleteI think there could be two reasons
ReplyDeletefor his unexpected willingness to reduce the rent.He must have either started liking the young man for his pleasant nature and agreeing to visit the club or thought that he would make a good son-in-law .
Thanks for your comments Mr..KP. I like your reasoning for this fiction.
DeleteThis feels like a true story. Such things happen. Most probably, the owner had overpriced the initial rent offer and was trying his luck. If there were no takers, ppl are open to reducing. They just need a small nudge..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Rajesh. Like your logic for this fiction.
