Adesh Singh Quotes in Sharmaji
The other workers listened, rapt.
With his hand on his chest, Adesh said, ‘Madam, what you have said has hurt me here . . . right here.’ He drew a shuddering breath. ‘You think we have no feelings, no hearts. You think that only officers have feelings. But madam, believe me, our hearts are more vulnerable than ours. We feel . . . we feel. Sharmaji, chalo.’
They ordered tea. Sharma lit a cigarette and smoked sadly.
‘Sharmaji, said Adesh deliberately, ‘you had better mend your ways. I can’t help you out next time.’
The tea arrived.
‘What do you mean, mend my ways?’ asked Sharma sulkily.
‘You know what I mean. You don’t seem to know your limits.’
‘Don’t lecture me. You are the general secretary of the union. Your duty is to get me out of this, not give me speeches.’
‘You keep quiet. If you want me to help you, hold your tongue.’
Sharma simmered. Again, insults from someone so much younger.
