Cabbage and Guava Salad

This salad brought me a nice wholesome lunch as well as a renewed belief in mankind. On my way to work, I hauled a rickshaw, asked if the driver would go to Andheri, after having said yes, I stupidly put my bag in the rickshaw and went off to get a pack of cigarettes. When I got back, the rickshaw was gone. I had my purse and cell with me, but my office ID and my lunch was gone. Great way to start the day when you're already running a bit late. Four hours later, I get a call from home saying my bag has been returned! The rickshaw driver drove on halfway before realizing I'd left some stuff in there, and drove all the way back to hand over my bag to the cigarette shop he saw me going into. Phew! I'm not leaving my bag again, thats for sure! But at least good to know not everyone is a crook...
