Human is a social animal, they are the wisest species on
earth. We are also animal but just one thing separate us from animals i.e..
humanity. We have witnessed many of the encounters where questions on humanity
were raised, but I can proudly say that there are many other people still on
this earth who are not less than a god for the needy people.
Life is a journey
of success, learning, falling, failure and most important helping each other.
We meet numerous people during our life span who teach something to us either a
little one but they all are our part of life and they are not less than a god
messenger. There are many people who are inspiration for me who taught many
things to me, my first mentor was my granddad who never feared to struggle and
because of this he earned a great life.
I believe I would not have been here and lost from my family
years ago until I met with one family.
I was very calm and obedient in my childhood, I never
troubled my family member. Just like other children I too love my grandparent’s
home (village), my nani (Grandma) was my best friend. So this instance occurred
when I was with my mummy to attend a wedding in another village. As it was
wedding in the home so there was lots of chaos and one needed to go neighbor’s
home to bathe and wash clothes, so my mummy also went there. Being a 4-year-old,
I also accompanied my mummy. She first bathed me and then engaged with further
bathing and washing process. I was simply seated there and suddenly someone came
and said that ‘your nani has come’ I become so happy and urged my mummy to
leave me there but as she was busy she brushed it off. So I told my mum ‘I am
going’ and stepped out from home. It was just 2-minute distance from this home
to wedding home so my mummy thought I can go.
I was new there and was not familiar with the trail so
mistakenly I took the wrong street and went to some other village. I still
remember that I was searching here and there and was calling my mummy and
nani…. But didn't find them. As I was a child soon I started to cry. People
were looking at me, but no one bothered to ask me or help me. There was one big
river and I was walking on the edge of a river I was about to fall in a river
but then suddenly one woman catch me and consoled me. As I was crying and afraid,
she took me to her home and asked my address and my parent’s name. As I said I
was new there so I didn't know the address and my mummy was also new there so
nobody knew her name. So I was not able to provide them any detail.
Her whole family was very sweet they provide me water and
food and were constantly asking me to remember anything which can lead them to
identify the home. They also have the wedding in a home and after some time I
recollect and said that ‘My home also have wed ceremony’. Soon they send people from the village to
track down if any girl is missing from any home who have marriage ceremony.
I think after some hours one aunt from my home came and
picked me from them and heartily thanked that family for taking care of me.
When I reach home my mummy was out of her sanity and was crying a lot. When she
saw me she ran and hugged me tight. After so many years, I still have a memory
of that particular event.
I still get goosebumps by thinking that if that family would
not have rescue me I would have drown in the river or would catched up by some
goons. I still remember the blurry face of that lady and home. They were god
for me and their home was the temple for me. I don’t know if I will meet that
family anyway, but I always thanked them from my heart who gave me a new life
and reunited me with my mummy.
Even this event occurred around 18 years ago, but it has
left a huge impact on my life. I believe helping people, I believe that god is
there. Our little help can rescue someone from entering the biggest problem. I
still pray for that family for wellness and success. I strongly believe that
‘This world is a big family and we need to help each other.’ I have very soft
corner for children and I always keep an eye on the street children, maybe some
of them would have also lost the way of home just like me!!!
