A few days ago I was travelling from WestBengal to New Delhi by train in Sleeper class.
I saw many hawkers but this old man drew my attention.
He was selling Aligarh’s locks (famous for lock industries). And few people had started bargaining but this old man stuck to the price quoted.
I was surprised to see as to why they were bargaining, after a few minutes he stood in front of me. I was shocked to see him as “he was blind”
After a few minutes, I bought a lock from him without any bargaining not because he was blind and old but he really inspired me.
Why?
Nowadays, we give up so easily, sometimes we cry for some girl who left us, or we cry because we are not that good looking and sometimes because no one is supporting us etc. And these thoughts become part of our life and eventually ruin everything.
Just look at that old man, he could resort to some other ways to earn money like begging because we notice many young people with disabilities start begging in public areas to support their livelihood. But this man chose the correct way to support his life.
Beside us, a UP police constable was sitting and he told that this man is working from the last 10 to 15 years constantly.
