Insignificant as it may sound; the following is possibly the most enduring image from this DP-
it so happened that B, who, as is usual, was strolling completely lost in thoughts(or traces maybe :P)heard Put utter "ishh bechari" and found that he'd accidentally knocked off an ice-cream from the hands of a cute little girl (5 or 6 yrs perhaps) who was now looking quizzically at her accompanying brother(all of 9 or 10 yrs, and who was holding her other hand) who in turn was giving B a look which was somewhere between 'trying to get what just happenned' and utter disdain. And what does B do? 'I'm sorry' is all he says; and walks off 'lej gutiye', almost. :|

This image- the brother n sister standing hand in hand has not left B since. Deliberately recalling what he thought to be quite disturbing but inexplicably beautiful, he has cursed himself repeatedly for not buying the little thing another one; wondering how wonderful it'd have been to bring a smile on her face; that possibly they were from not-so-affluent a family and the kid brother was unable to buy his sissy another one; B doesn't know why or from where these thoughts reach and coagulate in the damp canvas . B is not kind. not one of a kind anyway. Any kind. Which is amusing.

and yeah,one more thing. B was able to observe longing, despair,pain and sorrow turn to excitement, joy, happiness and a sense of fulfillment descend upon the background of a smiling face which gave him great pleasure;it was a treat really...especially as the person concerned is a real darling :)

P.S: B found out that he's capable of missing somebody even when Sabbath's playing full throttle :P
