The Humanity

Gowrav, the guy who helped in getting tickets, continued his reply.

“At ticket counter, serving man had charged ₹240/-for both the tickets but on the tickets it’s just ₹180/- collectively. I am adding the charges to make sure that I have not mistaken. “, he ended his words with an exclamation. I gave a doubted look at him, thinking if he was playing some trick on me to make money by fooling me. For confirmation, I asked him some random questions, so that he will mistake in answering if he is doing so. But he passed in that.

I asked his ticket to check whether any additional charges were printed on it, but there were no any additional charges and while I took my time in examining the ticket, the floor started vibrating in such a manner that I was tumbling on it. To find out what the reason was, I raised my head to see a boy, running towards me with this full strength like someone is chasing him.

While he was about to cross me, I said” Go slow boy there is nothing important than life”. By the time I completed my words, a flexi which is detached came his way. He unable to control his speed, dashed that and flew in the air and kissed the floor. Everything happened in a second.

Gowrav went to help him, to get on to his feet. As soon as it happened I went to flexi and tried to fix it back using a broken string, which, I found on the floor all in vain. After standing on his feet, the boy stopped running and went walking.

Gowrav came to help in tying the flexi back, but that did not work. A man was sitting on a steel chair at lift, laughing at the boy. Gowrav and I went to him to ask for a string to fix the flexi.

He reacted in a weird way saying, ” I am not maintaining shop here.”

Gowarv with full anger in his eyes asked,” You know that flexi is not attached. Why can’t you make it correct?, You are working in the railway department, aren’t you?”

That weird man stood and shouted at Gowrav ” See boy! My job is not to fix the flexies around here, if you are that much concerned, go tie it or remove the flexi and take it to home.”

Gowarv was about to go on him but I grabbed him saying ” We need to leave. It is time.” Then I thought about the drastic change in humans over past few decades from, Humans to social animals. Who have all lost their emotions.

Gowrav agreed that and seeing a police officer ahead of us, he said, ” let us complaint that to him.” I said, ” Gowrav, in India, we have to do all the work, expecting someone to do something is foolishness, just we have to do on our own.” Gowrav replying that it’s our minimum responsibility as a citizen to complain to the police he went to the policeman and I followed him.

After Gowrav had said what he had to, The police officer replied saying ” you guys just remove the flexi, there is no need to complain in that”.  Gowrav said ” how can we do that sir, we have no rights to do that.” Policeman replied ” there is no need for permissions or rights, anything that is harmful to citizens should be removed.”

We were going downstairs to platform no. 4 at the time of the conversation. The policeman words reminded me the way the weird liftman’s nature and I suddenly shouted shouted” stop it !”

Gowrav was alarmed, as I was behind him. He gave a shocking look at me. Policeman stiffening his hands against his stick asked ” What?” Making my muscles strong, I went to him and …….
