This is a story of a taxi driver. We met him during our humanity course survey. We saw that he used to donate 50 present (average)of one day earning to the children who are selling flowers or some other in the streets and vendors because he too was like them one day but now his son works as an excise officer but he was still a ta xi driver why?? May be he wants to help them(street vendors)and he loves his own work and take it as worship he told us his story and it is better for us because we also need it for our survey he was from a small town of ahemdabad,gujraat and son of a single mother. His mother worked as a cleaner at Ahmedabad so due to lack of money he could not read more and read up to only the7th grade .

( he did not read much but he was kind of wise to tell his story ). And Opened a small toy shop at the age of 12 in his town. First month was not more profitable but after some time it became profitable as soon as its became more profitable a different problem occurred. An earth quick (26 January 2001)was ruined everything in his shop also. Even so her mother. Her mother died. He felt like he was falling in a hole of darkness that we could not crawl out of. he was confronted with loneliness. it was a painful period for him.
He had a child marriage so for a few years he worked in Ahmedabad as a labour and then came to Delhi with the hope that we can earn more in the big city .now his wife worked as a cleaner and he bought a rickshaw with money left .he had two son and he had a dream in his eyes that his children were able to do everything what they want and able to stand on their feet so he was working hard ,seeing their parents working hard they (children) too worked hard and finally their elder son get job as a teacher . after a long time happiness came to their door they were floating on a cloud of utter joy but fate was something else approved. one day elder son and his mother was going some where in a taxi and they got an accident . they were killed in an accident it is a painful time for both of them . he was completely broken but did not give up . he was still doing his work. After some time his younger son get his job as an excise officer . now they have a well built home and enough money to survive but he (father) is still doing his work as a taxi driver to spread a message of courage and help street vendors who cannot afford their children’s study. And want to be a part of their happiness. Here two people inspire us .
the first of his son who despite the lack of resources becomes an excise officer .and second he himself . they are not a world leader, not a businessman, not an executive but they are real life hero. he is only a common man who did not read much but can teach us a lesson of life ,relations between death and life and defines: “death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live”and teach us that with forgiveness your victim identity dissolve and your true power emerges the power of presence instead of blaming the darkness you bring in the light see. And its all give us a message:
“”life is like a ocean in which the ups and downs of life are like waves and we are like a ship in it and if we are not afraid of the waves then we can reach at the shore””
