I boarded a cab when i returned from Bareilly in UP to Indirapuram. The cab was supposed to drop me home. I waited a long time before a cab accepted my request. It was 10.30 pm in UP!
This guy arrived. He was smaller than me in size. And i chit-chat a bit so as to not freak myself out or fall asleep. He said he was going to Rohini only and was scared he's have to go empty. So i was glad he had found me.
He was talking about his father, who was in the army. His brother, who was in the services too. And then he said "main hee nalayak hun". I told him to not think so as he was a businessman and driving a cab is so cool these days. You make money. you travel. And it is AC :)
He said his father was disappointed in him. His father was no more and that he was constantly thinking about it. He then told me that he had murdered someone when he was 15. That, the murder had been unfortunate. He said "aisa tha, ke ya toh main marta ya wo".
It was around 11 pm and to be honest, I dont know why he told me this. Unperturbed, i told him to not share this with anyone else. I also told him to meditate a little and forgive himself. That was important rather than overthinking something which was done over a decade ago.
I was not scared but i was kind of amazed how he revealed something so personal to me.
