We are always cynical that nothing is good. Everyone is corrupt. Nobody thinks of others but themselves. I am guilty of that too. But recently saw 2 incidents in which people were genuinely honest. As you can see that these are the people who are from relatively humble backgrounds.
First Incident
==========
My wife was doing evening walk in our society. All this while when she and our 5 year old were returning back to apartment, she had somehow misplaced her phone. Now any parent with young kids can testify that phones do get lost occasionally as kids play with them. So for us it was no big deal as we thought that it will be found sooner or later. But 2 days were gone and there was no trace of it. Then we tried dialing it, but it responded that number is not reachable. On a Sunday morning one of my relatives called me and told that have we lost our phone. I was surprised that how did he know. Apparently a car driver had found the phone. As the phones battery died he was unable to call us. Somehow he managed a charger and once it was charged, he tried calling few of the earlier called numbers. And thus we came to know of it. We called him and thus got our phone back.
Second Incident
============
A few days ago while i was having my dinner, i got a call from an unknown number. When i picked the call a lady confirmed if I was Anup Mayank. Then she asked me if i had lost my wallet. I had no idea about it. So i checked my pant pocket where i typically keep it, and it was true. Wallet was not with me. Then she told me that she lives very close to where i live and asked me to come to a landmark. We were little apprehensive too as it was getting late in the night. But my wallet contained important documents (drivers licence, pan card etc). So i couldn't risk losing it. We went to the specified land mark. When the lady came here she said that she found the wallet lying on the road adjacent to our house. My wallet contained my company visiting cards too. From there she got my number. On inquiry she told that she is a household maid cum cook. She was returning back from her job when she found the wallet. Every thing was intact. We thanked her sincerely. As a token of gratitude when i tried to give her the odd few cash, she declined. On our insistence only her son accepted this.
Both these incidences have added little positivity in me.
