Today an incident made me really unhappy. Today while waiting for a friend near Jadavpur subway, I saw an old lady and a man. The man brought the lady and showed her a small temple. Telling the lady to go there, the man disappeared from the scene. Later I saw the lady crossing the road again and again...and was looking for that man. I saw fear in her eyes and was almost in the verge of tear.Seeing her in such condition, I asked her the matter. She told that she is from Sonarpur, and its her 1st time in this part of the city and she knew nothing here. She had came here with two people, who had earlier promised to bring her to a temple where she could offer prayer to God for her sick husband. They had kept her bag with them, where she had kept her money, gold earrings and food. They had told her to go to the temple, wash hands and they will be right back with candles. But those frauds never returned, leaving back this helpless woman. I felt really bad for her. I took her to the rickshaw stand and gave her some money so that she can go to the station and catch a train back to her place. She blessed me wholeheartedly. I hope she reached back home safely. But I am still disturbed about the whole incident. I just don't understand what will those frauds get by cheating that poor old lady, who may be of the same age as their own mother. Is there no humanity left? So many such incidents are happening every day throughout the world. God.. save the poor souls and if you can't then destroy the world....as there is no point living in "this" world.
