Doctor Mom And 5 YO Girl’s Encounter With An Auto Driver Is Fuelling Our Faith In Humanity

It was an overall happy day since we had Faraal (snacks) party of Diwali with all my homeopath colleagues in Thane. I stay at Palava city (Dombivli). So after I finished the party I took a train from Thane to Dombivli and thereafter a shared auto as usual. Since my 5-year-old daughter also had come with me, I kept my handbag behind the area of the auto and Tanishkaa sat on my lap.

It was the first day of Diwali 16.10.2017. I’m a Homeopathic Doctor and had an appointment at 7 p.m. So I rushed to drop Tanishkaa at home and managed to reach clinic on time. It was when I saw my handbag for change I realised my wallet isn’t there, but my optimism is at the top always so I assumed I might have forgotten at home when dropped Tanishkaa. I came home and couldn’t find it. Then I rushed back to clinic and didn’t find it there.

So I took an auto back to Dombivli station, almost ran to the stall at the station where I had last used my wallet to have limbu paani, since I kept change ₹25 in the pocket of my jeans for share auto.

“Nahi mila mam kuch bhi nahito rakhte hum pakka,” said the boy who had served me at the stall. So I almost broke in tears when walking back from there as it had my cash, cards, ID proofs and much more.

I came back home around 11 p.m. My husband and daughter hugged me and my hubby said a line, “Apan to zinda hai na. Fir kya tension. If we are alive we can cover any losses.” But I reproached myself. How the hell can I do such silly mistake?

I just accepted it and as my homeopath colleagues suggested, just gave positive vibes to the universe. Jo bhi hua acha hai..It was tough but I said from the heart.

“And around 12 midnight I got a call.

‘Mam aap apna purse bhool gayi thi kya, mujhe auto mai peeche mila dikky area mai, (ma’am had you forgotten your purse in auto?).’

And I felt like as if almost a rebirth had been granted to me. Tears rolled and first thing I said was, “acchai aur acche log abhi bhi hai”. (My patent sentence is ache logo k sath acha hi hota hai hamesha.)

He said, ‘I’m autowala, Arvind Kumar. And, I’ll come tomorrow morning at auto-stand. Will give your purse that time.’

I want to thank this humane person from bottom of my heart and loads and tons of blessings to him but also I felt I should share this story so that all people believe in good and doing good.

I gifted him with a box of sweets and cash to shop for Diwali as a token of my gratitude. And I will keep doing good despite all circumstances and type of people I meet. As I strongly believe only good happens with good people. I am grateful to have such lovely, optimistic friends and husband.”
