My friend Usha’s daughter was living in Banglore. For some urgent work she was going to Banglore by train. My friend Usha’s husband was out of town. She called me for help. I suggested Usha”please keep some money in cash in your suit case and some money you keep in your purse to give go coolie and for other purposes “. Very kindly Usha agreed to my suggestion.
I booked ticket for Usha and always wanted that I should go with Usha and make her sit comfortably in required train. I had some important assignments at school. In spite of my strong desire to accompany usha till railways platform was not possible.
As luck wood have it Usha reached railway station in time. Train also arrived in platform in time. As usual platform was crowded. Some #cheating gentle man snatched Usha’s purse.
Usha was shocked. It was just 3 minutes for train’s departure. But question was how to pay money to gentleman respected coolie. Coolie also realized position and said”madam you get in train, please don’t worry about my money. “Usha said ” I feel guilty , I am not able to pay you gentleman. But if you allow me and give me little time I have money in my suitcase and will give you soon. “
This argument was going on between usha and respected coolie. Suddenly one gentleman came from somewhere like God and gave Rs 200 to respected coolie and got down from train. Meanwhile train also started from its station for its destination. Usha did not get chance to see that nobel gentleman face. Usha thanked coolie gentleman for helping her in difficult situation. Usha #prayed and thanked unknown #nobel gentleman for helping her in odd situation.
Moral- Helping someone in odd circumstances gives one peace of mind. It is #charity in #dignity.
