I
am overwhelmed by response I received on my previous Blog An Extraordinary Conversation between Autowala & -Part I (Those who
missed the first part, please visit above link). A Big Thank you to ALL for
taking out time for reading it. Here is the thought provoking concluding
part; I hope, You will relish reading it ………
A First Phone
Call
‘Hello
Sir Ji’, Nikhil this side, You can recall, your passenger of Golf Course Road,
a Writer’,
I called up.
‘Ohh
Yeah, Kahiye Nikhil Ji’, He replied uninterestingly.
I
said , ‘Sir Ji Aapki Story ne to Aag laga di, I have got more than 600 views
in 3 days. And now everyone wanted to know more about you.’
‘Ji Mai kuch samjha nahi’, He replied.
‘Arey Sir, I told you, I maintain a Blog on
which people visit and read my creations. I wrote a Story on you and it was a
Big Hit.’, I explained.
‘Sach
keh rahe aap !, Can I read that Story, ?’, He asked.
‘Of Course, I will send you the link, you
can get the print out of it’. Sorry I will have to leave now, will talk you
later’, I replied.
A Second Phone
Call
‘Hi
Sir Ji, How are you doing ?
‘I
am good. I felt good, you called me. I got print out of your blog with help of
my daughter and read it twice. I must appreciate that you remembered each and
every part of our conversation and penned it exactly the same.’, He said.
‘Yeah,
that is what I wanted to show- an authentic reality.’
‘Okay,
Tell me, What you wanted to know ?, He asked.
‘Your
Story’
‘I
am sharing my experience with you because I feel good. There were many
passengers who took my number with a promise to call me but Nobody did.’ He shared.
He
went on, ‘The theme of my story is ‘Money’. I was good and respectful for
everyone as long as I have had money to spend on my family, my children. I gave
my family a decently good life with all facilities, education of Son &
Daughter in Convent school and above all care and love.
I
interrupted ‘Convent School ?’
He
replied ‘I told you, I gave them best life I could give as if I was world’s
best Dad. I used to work very hard. Soon, I started incurring losses in my
different businesses I ventured into.
I
used to think, why am I used to lose in every business I did ? Whether I was unlucky or I did something
wrong. You know I gave exams for 10th class, but somehow my result
was never declared. I went to Mumbai to become a Photographer, but there also I
could not succeed. This series of failures continued in my life. But still we
always keep hopes even in worst situations that one day something good will
happen, but that day never came in my life. Then at last I compromised and
accepted my fate as God’s gift and became an Autowala.
I
nodded, ‘Yeah, right, Life is not same for everyone.’
He
went on, ‘It was 4 years back, tragedy of my life started. I became bad in
eyes of same people to whom I gave all care, love and life for 16 years. I
expected a simple favour from them in return-
‘Support’. But I didn’t get any.
I
said, ‘I am sorry to hear You lost money in all your endeavours, but I
suppose any genuine relation or good family is not dependent on money but on
kind of respect and love you gave it to them. They should have supported you in
difficult times.’
He
said ‘Wo kehthe hai na, Kisi se itna pyaar bhi mat Karo ki wo sir pe chad
Jaye.’
He
continued, ‘4 years back, when my daughter was in 9th Class, she fell in
love with a boy.’
I
shockingly said, ‘What ? At such an early age.’
I
thought I still didn’t fall in for someone when I am already 25, how come she ?
He
said, ‘Yehi to, Although my wife and I were not in favour but since my
daughter was adamant, we had to surrender and she is getting married next
month. This happened because I could not give those facilities which that boy
would have given.’
He
continued further, ‘At the same time, My Son became part of the company of
Hooligans. And my wife doesn’t understand all this. My Son doesn’t listen to me
at all. He is still in the same bad company. I am living in Gurgaon away from
my family since last 1 year. I visit there only in Weekends. Nobody is bothered
whether I remain at home or not. They don’t need me.
So
Nikhil Ji, for me there is no more reasons to even live my life. My family
doesn't need me.’
I
would like to say one last thing. Its money which made me world’s best Dad and
its money which made me where I am today.’
I
said, ‘I have had no answer. I can’t say what is right and what is not. But
I would say only one thing You did nothing wrong if you gave your family a
super-good life, lots of love. After all Everyone lives for his family only.’ I salute You.
I
just hope your story makes a phenomenal and ever lasting impact on people’s
lives.’
He
ended call, ‘Thank you for listening me. I felt good.’
I
whispered’ Anytime……’
Its really heart touching... Feeling sad for that guy
