Change Is The Only Constant

This morning I had tea at bus stop. It was ₹10. The lady at shop gave me tea, while I was having that, standing and sipping my cup, I'm the only customer at that time, the woman and her husband were discussing some family matters, I didn't paid attention to that. After I finished my tea, I thrown my cup into dustbin and I asked Lay's of ₹10 for two packets. By that moment, the lady left the shop and the guy gave me two chips. I paid ₹50 and he returned ₹30/-. I was confused, ₹10 for tea and ₹10 for chips x 2 packets. So he should take ₹30 and return ₹20. I said "Anna, you didn't take bill for tea". He received my money and said "Oh" and gave me back my change. I felt like a royal Robinhood or something, I don't know who's the role model for integrity. I came to work with big face on my smile.
Coincidentally, while returning from work, I got on to the last bus, the ticket was ₹33/- and I had only ₹100/-. So, I gave him that and he gave me back ₹73 instead of 63/-. I counted thrice as I was also comfused, I'm not Harvard Graduate, I'm sorry, sheet happens. The bus conductor moved forward and there were not enough, just around 10 passengers in bus. So after all that he came, I also checked once in calculator, you know, just in case. While he came back, I gave him back his ₹10 extra and explained him that he gave extra. He said, "Oh, thanks" and moved on to his seat.

Change miss up happens now and then. I'm surprised it happened twice on same day and I'm feeling like Robinhood or something, back to back. Maybe tomorrow, I will enroll for election because of all the social service I did today. Maybe not, just kidding, happy weekend
