I borrowed a book from an elderly man in my neighbourhood. Earlier I was searching that book in book shops and libraries but couldn’t find it. I requested him to lend me that book for reading. He told me that his son gave him the book on his 75th birthday. He politely asked me to return the same after reading. I convinced him that I would return it in good condition. Because of my busy schedule I could read it one third only.
Today, in the evening I heard that he is no more.
Now what should I do, read the book complete or return it to his son who has come from a foreign country for his cremation?
This is 200th post but I am not in a mood to celebrate.
