Playing a winning game



Wafers wasn’t a chiselled beauty. But when you got to know her well three things — her native innocence, her unabashed humility and her perennial hunger for knowledge — would hit you like a breath of fresh air. Little wonder many people liked to make friends with Wafers.
While she wasn’t exactly choosy about friends there were only a few with who she would be at her disarming best. The encyclopaedic China was one of them.
“Hey, tell me a way to make some large, quick money,” she told China as the two sipped cappuccino at an upmarket coffee shop. The comment was very unlike Wafers, but China decided to bite the bullet. “How much do you want to make and how fast?” he asked. “Hmmm… Rs 5 lakh for no effort and I must get it in the next 6 months,” she said with rare belligerence.
