Well I
have always believed that Mumbai Local is always a experiences of
understanding human values, as a vigid range of commuter travel every day in
these locals so the experiences are amazing. The only thing as an observer
you have to do is "keep your eyes and ears open" and
something interesting will automatically knock you door.
This time
I was heading toward CST station from Govandi and as usual till Vadala the
train was jam pack and finally after Vadala station I got a place to sit, till
majjid bandar everything was smooth and at majjid bandar station one 70 years
old commuter entered in our box with a blue bag and lot of water bottle inside
it, I assume it was almost 8 to 10 liter of water he was carrying with himself.
Suddenly he started offering drinking water to everybody
who want to drink in that box and without doubt while he was offering that
drinking water, a curious question blinked in my mind “why is he doing that”
and till that time he came to me and asked " beta panni piyoge kya",
I mean with the kind humbleness he has asked me for water ki meri pyass hi buj
gayi yaar but for respect I had some water and trust me I felt amazing when I
was having that water.
Within
inside there was so much respect grown for that person which I can’t express in
word (I mean it’s very difficult to express that felling) and this
article is a courtesy salute to that gentle man. (The image is in reference from Google)
Imagine
in a city like bombay where people hardly do anything for others and this gentleman is
helping mankind in such a big way which can’t be described in words.
He reminded me of
my grandfather as he is used to quote “ Kisi pyase ko pani pilana poonya ka kaam
hota hai”and this
fellow gentleman is the perfect example for that quote.
A genuine
salute to this gentleman and wish him luck and happiness for such a joyful
venture.
