“We have fruits like custard apple, mango and jack fruit. But we have no bananas. I did not have the chance to eat a banana in my native home. So I have the desire to taste a banana, but I didn’t have the opportunity to eat this fruit till today. You know, the Gods may be happy because in the temples, coconuts and bananas are offered to them - holy Prasad in temples are everywhere in India. When I came here for a job and had none for some time, I visited many temples and prayed to God for a job. I got a job. I have not prayed for a banana. Maybe I have been given only coconut pieces as holy Prasad, not a banana as holy Prasad. So I think that I will have no chance of eating a banana.”“Why do you think so? You can have a banana from any small roadside shop and it’s not even costly.” I said.
He laughed looking deeply into to my face.
