What does it take to be helpful? Just a touch of humanity! This precisely unfolded for a woman travelling on Indian Railways when she encountered a ‘kind soul’ that extended a helping hand with a seemingly small act – helping her cure her headache during a moment of immense stress. This heartwarming experience prompted her to share the tale on social media, a shoutout to the human spirit that rekindled her love for Indian train journeys and, more broadly, for humanity itself
“Why do I love travelling in the Indian railway?” began the lady with the username @333maheshwariii on the micro-blogging site ‘X,’ formerly Twitter. She then proceeded to narrate an incident from her recent journey following an online exam. “A few days ago, I was traveling back home after giving an online exam. The server went down and delayed the exam by a hour, and I missed my booked train. After waiting for two hours for the next train, I got into the general coach.”Alongside a photo featuring a bottle of balm in her hand, she detailed her severe headache and tearful distress when another woman in the vicinity offered assistance. “Suddenly, an aunty sitting nearby noticed and offered, saying, ‘Beta, yeh balm laga do ya mein hi laga leti hoon aur thoda sar bhi daba deti hoon.’” She concluded with a heartfelt message: “I wonder if you cross paths with such people because of your karma or there are still such kind of souls around us.”
“I always tell there r good people everywhere. I had always felt safe in public. It’s not like there aren’t creeps. But people looked out for me. They are ready to raise their voice if needed. If only people look up from their phones, they could discover the innate human kindness,” remarked another.
The third commenter added, “Lost trains server meltdowns and general coach adventures – because nothing says Indian Railways like unexpected tales and aunty angels offering headache relief Life’s journey complete with karma surprises!”
No doubt, amidst the plethora of incidents underscoring the deteriorating state of Indian Railways, gestures like these not only warm the heart but also serve as beacons that restore our faith in it, wouldn’t you agree?
