A little thing that restores your faith in humanity

2013-05-23T22:31:00.000+05:30

I lost my wallet with all my important cards in it over the weekend, somewhere in the city. After hours of searching, checking various lost properties and police stations, no luck. This morning (Tuesday) when I went to get the mail, my wallet was in the letterbox, everything still there, with a note saying, 'found in the city'. I called the number on the note, and turns out the man who found it drove all the way to my house to return it to me. It's a little thing- returning a lost wallet, but it's the proof that good people do exist that has restored my faith in humanity.

Yesterday me and my friends went to a medical store and saw an old man probably 70+ asking for price of some medicine the store guy said it will cost Rs. 170 ( $3.4 ) then he opened the folded handkerchief and started counting money. He had only Rs.67 ( $1.6 ) so he asked to give medicines which comes in that budget. My friend told him "kaka mai de deta hun uper ka paisa" ( Uncle let me pay the balance amount ) but still he refused and said "mere bete meri help nahi kar rahe jane do tum shikriya mujhe itna hi kafi hai" ( My own son doesn't help me, your concern about me is enough ). And shopkeeper gave him medicine said "ye lo kaka itne dawayee ayengi isme". ( Only this much medicine will come in the amount you gave me ) That old man might not realize but shopkeeper had already given all the medicine of Rs.170 ( $3.4 ) without him knowing.

UNH athlete ends career to donate bone marrow

2013-05-04T19:51:00.001+05:30

A University of New Hampshire athlete is ending his career so he can donate bone marrow to a cancer patient he has never met.

"You can't measure life against anything. When you have an opportunity to save someone, you gotta go for it," said Cameron Lyle.

During his sophomore year, Lyle and many other UNH athletes had their mouths swabbed to join the bone marrow registry. Then a few months ago, as he was preparing to finish up his senior season of track, Lyle received a phone call from the National Marrow Donor program. He was a match for someone who desperately needed a donor.

"I said yes immediately. When they said I was a match, they said, "Would you like to proceed? I said absolutely. And then when I hung up the phone I said, "Well I guess athletics are over now," Lyle said.

He is heading to Massachusetts General Hospital on Wednesday morning to begin the donor process.

"Basically they're putting needles in my pelvis between one and two hundred times, taking all the bone marrow out. So I can't lift more than 20 pounds for three to four weeks. It took the whole second half of the season out of play for the championships," he said.

By law, Lyle and the recipient must remain anonymous to each other for at least one year. All he knows about the person receiving his marrow is that he is a 28-year-old man with leukemia. A man Lyle said he is so glad to help and hopes to meet one day.

"I really want to meet him. I hope he wants to meet me too," Lyle said.

Right now the cancer patient to whom he is donating has been given six months to live.

The hope is that Lyle's bone marrow donation could extend his life by at least two more years.

A lesson from a mumbai rickshaw driver

2013-03-28T23:16:00.000+05:30

Exact Narration by an auto-rickshaw passenger,

Suvendu Roy of Titan Industries, who shares his inspirational encounter with a rickshaw driver in Mumbai, India:

... One Sunday, my wife, kid, and I had to travel to Andheri from Bandra. When I waved at a passing auto rickshaw, little did I expect that this ride would be any different...

I looked in front and there was a small TV. The driver had put on the Doordarshan channel.

My wife and I looked at each other with disbelief and amusement. In front of me was a small first-aid box with cotton, dettol and some medicines.

This was enough for me to realize that I was in a special vehicle.

Then I looked round again, and discovered more - there was a radio, fire extinguisher, wall clock, calendar, and pictures and symbols of all faiths

- from Islam and Christianity to Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism.

There were also pictures of the heroes of 26/11- Kamte, Salaskar, Karkare and Unnikrishnan.

I realized that not only my vehicle, but also my driver was special.

I started chatting with him and the initial sense of ridicule and disbelief gradually diminished.

I gathered that he had been driving an auto rickshaw for the past 8-9 years; he had lost his job when his employer's plastic company was shut down.

He had two school-going children, and he drove from 8 in the morning till 10 at night.

No break unless he was unwell. "Sahab, ghar mein baith ke T.V dekh kar kya faida? Do paisa income karega toh future mein kaam aayega." (sir, there is no good in watching television at home if i earn a little extra it will help me in the future)

We realized that we had come across a man who represents Mumbai – the spirit of work, the spirit of travel and the spirit of excelling in life.

I asked him whether he does anything else as I figured that he did not have too much spare time.

He said that he goes to an old age home for women in Andheri once a week or whenever he has some extra income, where he donates tooth brushes, toothpastes, soap, hair oil, and other items of daily use.

He pointed out to a painted message below the meter that read: "25 per cent discount on metered fare for the handicapped.

Free rides for blind passengers up to Rs. 50.

My wife and I were struck with awe. The man was a HERO!

A hero who deserves all our respect!!!

Our journey came to an end;

45 minutes of a lesson in humility, selflessness, and of a hero-worshipping Mumbai, my temporary home.

We disembarked, and all I could do was
to pay him a tip that would hardly cover a
free ride for a blind man.

I hope, one day, you too have a chance to meet Mr Sandeep Bachhe in his auto rickshaw: MH-02-Z-8508.

Be a Reason for Million Smiles….But Never be a reason for even a single Grudge…

Lawyer Gives Up His Home to Homeless Family for a Year

2013-02-22T22:09:00.000+05:30

A California lawyer is giving up his fully-furnished home in Los Angeles for a homeless family to live in for a year, according to the New York Daily News.

Tony Tolbert, 51, says that his act of kindness just feels like the right thing to do.

“You don’t have to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet or Oprah,” Tolbert told CBS News. ”We can do it wherever we are, with whatever we have, and for me, I have a home that I can make available.”

Tolbert will move back in with his mother for the year and continue working. It was in his mother’s house that Tolbert says he learned to be a giving and caring young man.

Growing up Tolbert says that his father always lent the family’s spare bedroom to someone in need.

Tolbert’s dad now suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, but the lessons his dad taught him stuck with Tolbert.

“He is so giving, he’s always been that way,” Tony’s mom, Marie Tolbert, told CBS News.

Tolbert found the family he is giving his house up to in a local shelter. He met Felicia Dukes, who was broke and having a hard time providing for four children. The oldest child wasn’t even allowed to stay at the shelter that was only for children and women.

Dukes couldn’t believe the fate that she had suddenly been afforded when she was initially told.

“They had a young man that wanted to donate their house to you for a year,” she recalled. “And I’m looking at her, like, what? Like — Are you serious?”

Dukes’ family would be able all live together once again and get back on their feet.

“My heart just fills up,” Dukes said. “I’m just really happy.”

Tolbert says ultimately he hopes his story encourages others to give and think about others more than themselves.

“Kindness creates kindness. Generosity creates generosity. Love creates love,” Tolbert said. ”And I think if we can share some of that and have more stories about people doing nice things for other people, and fewer stories about people doing horrible things to other people, that’s a better world.”
