Yesterday after a long time had a chance to board in Chennai EMU from West Mambalam to Tambaram :)
I got a seat luckily because it was not peak hours of Weekend shopping. I noticed an old and poor man sleeping on the Train floor. He was very stale and had a long beard. He did not had any dress on him but a long bedsheet which he wrapped on himself.
The most hilarious incident when the station alighted at Pallavaram. The old man crawled across and went to the edge of the train door and halted there. A young chap from who was sitting opposite to me stood and about to get down.
The old man just looked up to that guy and asked "Time?". The young guy replied "Naaley Mukkaaal" - 4.45 in Tamil. "
The old man replied back "Say it in English". It took quite all the people who were noticing that incident to surprise. I was just taken aback. I mean that guy replied back with a little hesitation clearly "Four Forty Five". The old man listened and turned back and started on seeing outside. Such people if guided by right source could become achievable people in the society.
I don't know how many of us thought about such old people?
Are they Educated people who are left wandered on streets? or got Mentally Ill ? or are they some kind of Terrorist ?
Whoever could they be? It was a completely hilarious experience which I gone through yesterday.
Just prayed to God for a few seconds, God just take care of such people.....
I managed to capture that old man's pic, you people just see him and decide how could such a man speak clear English and make your own judgements......
