Pune, about a kid who wanted to shine my shoes (chappals) for Rs. 2.

Basically toward the end of the polish he said he was trying to get
started with his own shoe box and wanted Rs. 180 for that. I thought
it might be an elaborate con and I didn't bite. Well get this. Turns
out another friend of mine who was in Mumbai/Pune had the exact same
thing happen to him.

Now I feel bad because he has an entirely different take on the
incident but I'm now more convinced than ever that this was a scam.
Man, I lost a little bit more of my faith in mankind today.

Kalyan, interesting coincidence!
BTW, you addressed the comment in your other blog to "Ramu". The post was actually from a friend of mine (Muthu). I'm just another author on the blog.
"Ramu" a.k.a Ramdas
ps: Posting here since I didnt want to PM the wrong Kalyan :)
Wow!! Would have never guessed but I can see it happening! Sad, isn't it!
