7:30 pm on a crowded Andheri local and I am squished between office-goers and a group of teenagers in football jerseys. A heated debate over Messi and Ronaldo is interrupted when a cell phone rings.
"Yes Mom...I'll be home soon. I'm in a train.." The young man disconnects the call and then says to his friends "ma pagal hein," which means my mother is insane! She was screaming at me for being late and wondering what I was doing in a train. He goes on and says that his parents' moods depend on the stock market. "When the value of their shares come down. they take it out on me!"
It can actually be fun to overhear a conversation sometimes :)
