An old lady, in my neighbourhood, loves to criticise people and to gossip about them. All day long she sits on the balcony, knitting and shouting random comments on people. As neighbours, we are aware of her idiosyncrasies and strange habits but the innocent strangers are her usual victims.
One afternoon after school, I had barely started climbing the staircase of our building when a man rushed past me hurrying up the stairs. I had never seen the man in our locality before. Curiosity got the better of me and I followed him and reached the old lady’s apartment. Realisation dawned on me; I understood that it was another of the lady’s trick to befool a stranger. That day, the woman had shouted for help and this man, thinking it to be a genuine case of emergency, rushed to help her.
