Who wants an ice-cream?

This one is about our visit to a mall in Gurgaon.

As soon as we entered the mall I received a phone call. When the call got over, I saw that Piku was "mumbling" & "bouncing" in front of an ice-cream stall, and his mom was trying to control the situation (& hide her embarrassment).

"It's just an ice-cream" I thought and ordered one.

When the guy handed it to me I asked casually "how much" while reaching out for cash in my wallet. "220/- only" came the reply. Trust me that was the hottest ice-cream I've ever held.

My next automatic question was "do you accept card", which got an affirmative response. With heavy heart I handed the credit card to the sales guy and ice-cream cone to Piku.

Although now I was getting an urge to bounce & mumble like Piku was doing few moments ago, but my sense of dignity held me back. But, Piku certainly had something else in mind because he had started bouncing & mumbling again... when I asked him with a stone-cold accent "what's the matter", he replied: "I want only cone ...."
