THE GUARD

Benares Hindu University, Varanasi, India

Nov 25, 2012


Before the museum sits a guard. To this guard comes a man from another country who asks to gain entry into the museum. But the guard says that he cannot grant him entry at the moment. The man thinks about it and then asks if he will be allowed to come in sometime later on. “It is possible,” says the guard, “but not now.”
