“TANNU” an auto driver with whom I met today afternoon at KASHMIRI GATE ISBT after dropping my relatives there. I was looking for an auto to my home back but every other was asking for way too much money and they were not ready to go by Meter. But fortunately when I was thinking for Metro he came and ask me
“”Kaha bhaiya””
I told him my destination and asked him for fare charges, he replied
“” meter se bhaiya””
I replied
“”Bus aapka he intezaar tha””
And entered in his auto. And as you know my nature I have started talking to him as he was too also very talkative.
We were discussing many things and when we passed PUL BANGASH, he just told me that he needs to came back here after dropping me. I asked him why, so he replied that he needs to come back at his in law’s house because his wife and kids are here from past three days. So he will come back and pick his family to his home in Budh vihar. As he started talking about his family he filled with great happiness. He told me that how his son love him so much and he too loves him very much but his son is darling of his grand parents and his mother. But his life lies in his daughter who is just one and half year old. He told me that he stopped going temples after accident of his younger brother and sister years ago in their very young age. He stopped believing in god but when his wife got pregnant at first he did prayer for a girl but God blessed him with a boy and at second time when his wife got pregnant he started visiting temples and visited many temples in many cities and eventually when he saw her daughter at first he cried like a baby boy. The baby girl and he himself were crying in the hospital like no one else. Her emotions and teary eyes made me cried a littile bit but just in next moment his commitment towards her daughter studies made me feel proud that we still have people here who does think like him. And in this chit chat we reached at Moti nagar and we both were feeling hungry so I asked him to stop the auto at one place where I have ordered two plate BEDMI POORI and then we both ate it and filled our stomachs.
Felt very good after meeting him. He made my day. God bless him and his family.
