A chance encounter in a taxi propels the writer into a thought process that leaves him enlightened!

When Do You Become An Adult?

It was just another evening and I was I returning home from office in a private taxi. Since I stay very far it takes me more than an hour, in general, to reach home and thus it gives me ample opportunity to pursue my reading habit. On a similar note, on that day, as soon as I boarded the taxi and made myself comfortable, I was just about to open my Kindle when the taxi driver started a conversation with me. He asked me for information about the local school where he wanted to get his daughter admitted. At first glance, I was quite baffled as he seemed quite young and definitely didn't seem to be an 'adult'. I took a long pause and then gave him certain inputs as I had just done some research on schools for my 'Barfi'. (Barfi is my daughter, by the way!).
