.. to be locked out of flat by accident while my keys, mobile phone, money wallet and even sandals are left inside. So here i am, out, barefeet, with nothing but the clothes that i am wearing. The only other key is with someone who is going to be late and I am alone outside, neither do I know any neighbors, nor remember local mumbai numbers of friends. sad, it is. I am clumsy, but this time it was due to my bothered frame of mind it seems.

Anyhow after a long wait, sitting alone on stairs, thinking profound thoughts as I had nothing else to do, I am finally inside the flat. And feels good to be under a roof.

For the first time I think I came a bit close to understand the plea of a person who has no roof over his/her head.

An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys of a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank’s president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000″

The Indian replies: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return’”
