The Human touch!
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Today morning, I went to the railway station to send off few folks. It was 6:00 in the morning and the station was so crowded. The train came at around 6:20, my folks got in and the train started leaving the station in another 2 mins.
When I was walking back to my car on the platform, I saw people waving their hands and shouting to stop the train. What the heck? Then I saw an old lay who just missed to get into the train and people (strangers) were trying to help her. When the train guard in the last coach saw these people shouting and waving their hands to stop the train, SMILED and communicated over radio to his co-worker in the front of the train to stop the train. I saw smiles on almost everyone who were waiting for other trains.
What touched me was - the willingness of people to help a person whom they are not connected with. These kind of willingness to help was very common in the place where I grew up but it has slowly started to subside these days. The fast paced life, running behind the monetary benefits, greediness, etc made us to become more ego-centric.
It takes a little to help but the satisfaction and gratitude goes a long way!

It is true that people are less and less interested in helping others, but more importantly, they are now even wary of asking a help. Somewhere in them, I think the feel, they don't deserve help.
You're right. You don't ask for help when you are not ready to help.
I hope the next generation differs from this!
You Rock Mr. Mohanraj. You are already thinking about the next generation.
Am in the process of creating my next generation.. So the expectations are already being prepared!
People needs love!!If we control any animal by showing love than mankind is very easy form of god with mind!!So easy to understand.When one person face critical condition than he/she understand value of help.The first human need is the need for CERTAINTY. We all need to feel a sense of security that things will be okay. Certainty gives us peace of mind and assurance
