Man on Footpath

It's a lovely Friday morning & I was going to office. I saw an elderly man lying on the footpath at Nehru camp area on NH-24. I stopped the car and went to him, he was unconscious. I tried waking him up, he's not responding much. A few people started gathering, including two kids. I asked one boy to bring some water & fruits for the old man. After drinking some water he was able to respond, but he couldn't tell us any whereabouts of him. The people around told me that he's lying there of last 2-3 days. I tried searching his pockets for any contact no. or address but there's nothing. I just could know his name, which was tattooed on his arm, he was "Ramsen".




He's lying there for last 2-3 days & he must not have taken any food, he would have died lying there. I then called the ambulance by calling 102. I was pleasantly surprised by their service, they reached in 15 minutes flat. The ambulance then took Mr. Ramsen to LNJP hospital, they took my name & no. for their records.

What I Lost : 35 minutes, two phone calls, less than 50 rupees

What I got : LOTS n LOTS of Satisfaction




What I expect from the readers : All of us can afford to give few minutes of our precious time for similar such acts. But we choose to ignore, by giving lame excuses like :

• "We don't have time";
• "Saala pee ke pada hoga"
• "Police ka chakkad pad jayega" etc.

But believe me try doing this once & feel the satisfaction. You would get addicted to it.
