Mumbai is, indeed, the city of dreams. But it is also a city of immense struggles. And what signifies struggle better than Mumbai Local trains. Getting on, finding space, keeping track of the stations, and getting off finally – it all can be a harrowing experience.
And for writer Amborish Roychoudhary, it got worse. While travelling in a CST-bound local, he got off, forgetting his bag with his Macbook Air in the train.
Amborish enlisted the help of the Railway Police, but they came back empty-handed after searching for the trains. Amborish took to Twitter, asking for help for anyone who could find it for him.
I have left my black backpack with my laptop (Macbook Air) on a train headed to CST. I got down at Vadala around 11:05. Pls RT!

But no help came.
Then, Viresh Narsingh Kele, a Railways Housekeeper, who cleans and washes trains at the carshed in Panvel, paid Amborish a visit all the way to his house – with his bag and laptop intact!
Amborish posted on Facebook, in praise of Viresh, with a few pictures of him.
He tweeted about Viresh being the good samaritan and also refusing money, and instead urged Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu to reward him on Amborish’s behalf.

This just goes on to prove that all is not lost in this world, and faith can be restored in humanity.
