hi folks,
hmmm.....i don know how u all will react to this post. but thought that i should share my feelings abt this incident to u all.
i was home this weekend. then on monday night i was returning back to college hostel. i was waiting in railway station in my city. There four people came to me. Two males and two females. each female had a baby in their hand! the guy asked me whether i understand hindi. i said yes. he started narrating his problem.
he along with his family, from Jarkhand has come to Kanyakumari and to some other temples here in south. they were on their way back home. but unfortunately, their suitcase was stolen. they had kept 4500 rupees in that suitcase. he has no money now. he was crying to me that all of them along with the babies are starving. i could stop my emotions. but managed as it is a public place. but the thing is, i'm helpless. If i had enough money, i would have taken ticket for their return journey. but i'm just a student and i had not enough money in my hand. thats the peak of his fate i hope. they don know other languages too. i gave rs.50. but felt really really bad for my worst position not helping them.
they then moved onto the next fellow, as they need a large sum of money to go back home for train tickets and for food. but i could see they r not given any money. all thinking that that was fake. i felt very bad when i saw that scene. they couldn't differentiate the true feeling and the fake?? what humanity we are left with?? we just speak a lot. i'm sure folks, if i were a working guy, i could have done more than enough. but i wasn't. hmmm...!
i finally adviced them to approach the railway police for help. they said they will try, but they were actually afraid of them. as my train was about to leave, i started for my travel with an heavy heart. i pray to God, The Almighty, to give them some solution to reach their place safely. atleast guys, u help when u could.
