NEW YEAR: Funny thing to start with.

Myself and my brother went to a computer shop to buy a TFT monitor. It took us an hour or so and we ended up by buying a Samsung TFT. Also my brother chose to buy a flash drive and other computer peripherals for his office. We had a good chat with the salesperson and the Manager of the shop. It was 2nd Jan and still the New Year hangover was not over. The salesperson handed over the receipt of the purchase. We inturn wished him a very happy new year. On the stairway we wished the same to the manager who was attending his mobile. I was very much thrilled to have the TFT. After walking for about 15 min or so my brother asked me the 15 grand(rupees ofcourse) question: "Did we pay the money?" He then put his hand in the pocket to show me those 20 red bucks which he hadn't opened. Yes we hadn't paid the money. Worse, when we went back to the shop the salesperson still didn't knew that he had forgotten to take the money. He was quite lucky that the Manager was not there. My brother handed over him the money. But I couldn't find the embarassment or the thankfulness on his face. I expected him to be either be embarassed or thanking us for walking all the way back to hand over the money. Maybe he won't be so lucky next time.
