Hi,
while going from bus-stand to morni hotel ( just 20min journey) , i learned a very great lesson .i tell you what is this.
i was standing on bus-stand and someone ask me "sab ji kahan jana hai".. sound is from a rickshaw-puller. he ask me where i wanna go...coz my room is already bocked in morni hotel. so i ask him how much for that destination, he said 25 rupee . well it was quite ok coz i know hotel is quite far away. so we start our journey .......
while sitting in rickshaw i see many people start talking to rickshaw-puller. i asked him what kinda chat people do to them. he reply me that woman start talking without asking, about their tour ( from where they come or where they go) and about family problems, man talk about business problems, everyone try to tell his problems to a normal rickshaw-puller
(quite shocking)..
i asked him where is he from and what is his name... he replied that name is "misri" ( suger cube in English) and he is from bihar. from last 7 year he was here pulling rickshaw.. i was quitly listening to him, then he start automatically. about his family and all that .. he say that he got good land there in bihar but not have money to grow anything there. also flood ruin all crop every year so he was here , no one from his family was here,
as he is telling me this and that's ..then i asked him the main question (which i ask every-one who is suitable to this ) i asked him that HOW MUCH MONEY HE THINK IS OK FOR HIM...what is the specific amount he want to earn for his life.. well his answer was so simple and normal that i was truly touched , he says when he have 10,000 rupee he will go home and live very happy life there....damm i have cell-phone valued more then his life time earning...
i dunno what you feel but i was surprised.
well it show that hunger of money rise from person to person. it have no end, b4 coming to jammu i was thinking to go back as soon as possible, but not now coz im not after money, i will stay here for long now........he didnt change my mind...but he gimme new thinking....
