That day I was talking to one of my staffs at our department on the way to attend a camp. He hails from an interior area in Assam. He is having his wife and parents at his homeplace. Both parents are ill. He is the single earning member of the family and he can't afford their stay at Guwahati. Once in a week he goes home for one day, arranges their weekly requirements and returns back to work.
"It costs me Rs. 200/- per trip to my native place sir... With this income I can't afford more visit to my family..."
In no way I could be of any help for him, nor he did expect anything, but the way he expressed his agony in earning money in a honest way, it just touched my heart...
For him Rs. 200/- is a big issue.. For someone even 1 single rupee matters a lot.. And for somebody buying a brand new car is less than a day's income..
This is life.. Everybody has his/her own story.. And yet we've to carry on !!!
