The girl with a Red Lipstick.


                             The girl with a Red Lipstick.




“Dada, 2 for ganeshguri.”

I said, as I handed over two partially soiled ten rupees note to the conductor of the city bus. The conductor was, by his looks, a middle aged guy, probably in his 30’s.He was wearing a deep blue colour fully soiled and stained uniform. The condition of the uniform very well spoke that it was more of a burden imposed upon him rather than a part of his duty. The stench of sweat drenched body was filling the little left space in the bus, with utmost dreadful scent, which even overpowered the costly deodorants put on by numerous fellow passengers.
