First time I went to buy vegetables I was in second year. I looked like a boy then. My mother was very sick then. She never allowed me to cook or do shopping since my childhood. I somewhat took this as my duty.
Uncles got stunned. I started exploring the city from my nearest shop to the farthest. People understood a small kid has come,she can be made a fool. I got cheated several times, with stale fish or eggs. I was asked higher price. I did not know bargaining, slowly learnt but yet I am not efficient. I started exploring variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables. Initially my mother used to cry but then started helping me by giving tips and tricks of marketing
First time when I started I felt am man of the house. Till then I missed my Dad but from then I started feeling what the responsibilities of a father are. I went to the same market where he used to. Cause it was the place where things could be bought together in a systematic manner. Just like everything under one roof which one needs for their day to day life.
I called myself as man of the house. It reminded me of the short story which I read in class 9. It was a short story by Frank O'Connor. The story touched my heart and I somewhere found similarity with the 10 year old boy of the story.
I had immense energy and I tasted each and every kind of street food of my town. Before that I never touched them. Whenever I had stress I jumped to eat more and more, and yes I did not need to worry about my figure.
Really first time when I had puchka I had severe food poisoninng and laid on bed for few days. In my school days I was forbidden by my mother to have any street food so I followed. Now my intestine had some strangers so it had to act. Slowly they got accustomed when after 3 months I had puchka again.
I bunked my classes also and stayed back at home. I watched my mother cooking and cutting vegetables, so I started doing. Firstly I had hidden from my mom but then she also got accustomed to it.
I used to surf net regarding various health issues. I analyzed the cause, effect and remedy of any disease on internet, much like a doctor. I changed my subject in class 11, so that I don't become doctor even by mistake. I was so one minded about engineering. But during the term I had more knowledge of a doctor than electronics.
