Yesterday while I was thinking
about how inconvenient it is to travel in a crowded train in a hot and humid
climate... a lady with 2 girls of age about 2 & 6 boarded the train and
started chanting a bhajan. The younger girl looked ashen and was half asleep in
lady’s arms and the elder one went from person to person begging and then when
refused...even touching their feet..!!! By the time the girl came to me I got a
call...and frankly...I was relieved that now I can pretend to be busy on call
and that would definitely help me avoid the little one!
The caller ID displayed +91140xxxxxx...I
could easily make out that this is some junk call...still...seeing the need
of the hour I answered it...
Me: Hello
Caller: Sir, I am Shweta calling from XYZ Organization. We are basically a NGO working for children welfare... (If I was a person who read a lot of conspiracy stories...I would have been easily convinced that this is another conspiracy where “they” first send in little children in trains for begging and then call people in the train for donations!! Definitely a method with quite high efficiency!)
