When our world is facing depravity and experiencing the feeling of cynicism,today I experienced a very noble act of honesty...
After I left from office in the evening I boarded a 7:03pm Panvel local from Govandi station,the train was really overcrowded so I stood at the side near the door.At Vashi station the train got even more crowded,with the crowd a hawker also jumped in.She was a little girl,she must be around 10 yrs old.Honestly I got pissed off a little as the train was already so crowded and who wants to buy ginger and corn in such situation.
I ignored and started looking outside the door.
After few seconds I heard a lady telling the little girl to pick something up from the train floor,the girl was not ready she was nodding her head and telling "what will I do with it" but the lady continued to coax her "Pick it up and keep it with you" "Pick it up or someone will stamp on it" but the girl kept nodding no. One of her ginger corn bag must have fallen down!, I thought.
But to my surprise there was a 2rs coin fallen down and the little girl was not ready to pick it up.After some more coaxing from the lady the girl agreed and she picked up the coin and handed to the lady."Keep it" said the lady.."NO" replied the girl "I cant its not mine" the entire crowd went silent and started looking at the little girl.
I noticed we all were smiling!!!
"Such honesty!!" said the girl standing beside me. Yes even I was stunned a little.
It might really be a very small incident but it really really touched my heart...seriously where this world is engraved with selfishness and greed such incident make you keep faith in this not so bad world.
I really wanted to click a picture of this girl and ask her name but I could not,she got down with the crowd at Nerul station,but yes I do and will remember her and if I ever get a chance of meeting this little girl once again I am definitely gonna ask her name.
'That little girl who made everyone smile!!'
