"Peela scooter kyun chalate ho?"...the question that haunted him all his life! A jaundice at birth proved a stigma for the rest of his life, when his father at the instance of the village quack insisted on him having at least one yellow coloured artifact with him, all his life, to keep the jaundice away! Yellow coloured shoes, yellow trousers, to yellow tables and chairs...the creative father found ways to keep the deadly disease away, from his loved one! Growing up with yellow excesses wasn't easy, as friends did not quiet see the point of the silliness. The culminatÃon of this embarrassment came when he was forced to choose between a yellow coloured scooter or a manually towed vehicle...and from that day on he forever became the "Peele scooter wala aadmi"..................Why he chose to keep the scooter, long after his father's death is something only he knows!
