mosambi juice.. mosambi juice..
During my not so frequent Hyderabad to Bangalore night bus trips, the bus used to take a second halt at midnight without any apparent reason. During this time, a peasant, looking more like a beggar, aged more than 60 used to appear shouting “mosambi juice… mosambi juice” holding 2 glasses of the same, bothering everyone’s sleep. No one used to buy it for obvious reasons.
This time he disturbed not only my sleep but also, made me sad while thinking what this old man has to do at third quarter of creepy night for a living. Anyway, I decided to give it a try risking my good health and tried the drink for Rs.10 with bonus horrible looks from my co-passengers.
I assure you, the juice is just fine. My stomach is also fine till the day. If you happen to see the same guy in a similar trip when you are thirsty enough, a second thought is not letting you to grab it, and a third thought made you a little sad, I suggest you to help the poor guy.
awww. your story is very sweet. i happened upon it in my search for a way to get mousambi in the US. you’ve a good heart and i hope others will see the same thing when next they meet that man with the mousambi juice.
all the best.
Thank you
Hey man i used to travel from Raichur to Bangalore. Same route same midnight stop and the juice.Everyone would have slept deep and people looking one another as to what happened. Really I’ve travelled 4 years on that route from 2002 to 2005 every month once.I used to get down and enjoy the breeze .
Hehe..
.. I am delighted to know that someone else too noted the poor fellow.
