a 'kiddy' conversation

the place where i live is one of the most crowded area of the city. too many people live here and in every single second something is happening here. first few days it seemed disturbing but now i started like it. today i was walking through a narrow path. three kids were walking before me and were talking loudly about something. it caught my attention and i started walking slowly... behind them...

: if you don't believe you can ask mithu that we really bought a computer... (1st kid)
: who said? you know, how much a computer costs? (2nd kid)
: no no no... he is right. i saw the packets of the computer in abu's house (3rd kid)
: ohhh... which brand? (2nd)
: samsung... black (1st)
: whites are faster than the blacks (2nd)
: how much it was? (2nd)
: 25000 taka (1st)
: i saw a big empty table at your home... why didn't you keep the computer there? (3rd)
: my father has to calculate money... thats why he keeps it at our shop... do you like to go there to see the computer? (1st)

there were a huge crowd then and some people were quarreling there. i lost the kids...

after that i had a strange feelings... they were not from so well of family. computer is a really amazing thing to them. i feel pity for them... again i was happy. the way they are thinking now is a very good sign for our nation.
