Believing stranger………
Freak accident rendered incapacitated to accompany Amma
Jee. She initially visited Ramnagar to collect jewellery from
sister after repaying loan; then boarded train for Mahmudabad.
A stranger became her confident.
Incidentally, train stopped on central rails at Mahmudabad,
making alight difficult.
Stranger offered help, which she denied. Since alighting with
luggage was difficult, she eventually acceded. Man carrying
her luggage alighted quickly. Leaving basket behind shouted,
“Amma, take care of your luggage” and vanished with her box.
Mother lost all valuables. No help was forthcoming.
People truly say “Never believe in strangers, they will harm
you”…….so did the stranger to her.
