We were standing at Aliganj ... also known as the Purana Chowk ... Me and Manish. This was the first time we had come out of campus together ... for a strange purpose ... to buy my medicines ...
I had developed an infection in my foot ... which was going from bad to worse. It all started with an itching in between of my foot fingers ... then i got wet in the rain ... and the itching area soon converted into a rash! Slowly the rash was spreading to the areas between other fingers. I realised that this could be serious (and God damn it .. it was pretty serious) ... and i went to show it to Rangan (and this was the biggest mistake i could have committed) ... Rangan was the doctor hired by our institute .. He was the strangest creature I had ever met ( well not really :P ... I have met many more stranger creatures ... But amongst doctors .. yes). This guy did not even open his mouth once during the entire period I sat with him .. Just scribbled a few things on paper and handed it over to me. Even when I asked him .. what exactly is this ... he just mumbled something I could not understand ... Later on I came to know that people went to him only when they wanted to die :P
Back to Aliganj .. we were here to get these very medicines prescribed by Rangan! It was very kind of Manish to come with me .... this is one good thing about this guy .. he does try his level best to help people whom he doesnt even know properly .. Agreed we had been neighbours for 3-4 weeks now ... but still ... we had not yet developed the kind of bonding that we had later ... Or maybe this was just the beginning of that bond ... So there we were standing at Aliganj .. I had managed to get a few medicines from the small shops there (later on came to know there was a huge medical shop just nearby!) and we were waiting for the bus .. and I was praying that it does not rain ... as that would make my foot worse ... but it did rain ...
