There is a story which I wish to tell. It happened quite some time ago. It was real though. I think it is worth to be penned down. It was night time. Around 8 o'clock. Then, came the distress call from someone dear to me. Any calls received at night is enough to bring shivers, so I listened attentively. Okay, this person who called was stranded at the road side. His car could not be started. Battery died. End of it.
So we rushed to the place, good thing it was not so far from the house (lucky day for him!). We tried to somehow try to 'troubleshoot' and 'fix' it but we were not so lucky. With no jumpers we could not anything either. We were at wits end and about to give up to make decision to call the tow truck or mechanic, then this happenend...you may call it as 'miracle'.
A guy on bike approached us out of nowhere. He inquired what was the problem, so we told him the issue. Without hesitating, he summoned us to stay put and hang on. He said he would be back. What was he up to? So many questions lingered in our mind. Could he be genuine? Would he want to rob us? We didn't know. Nevertheless, we waited as though we knew the answer would be good.
Then he re-appeared with jumper cables. He told us he went back home to get it. He helped us to fix it. We offered him some cash for helping us. But he profusely declined. He said his 'God' do not allow him to accept money as he was just helping us.
I'm just thinking, this world is not that bad as we perceive. There are bunch of good people around us. We need to find them. How? By doing good things towards others. As famous saying : What goes around, comes around...
---> Reminder to myself.
