The old lady in the train

[apru]

I have seen her once before in the train. She must be 70+ years old. She sells earrings/rubber-bands/hair-clips. She gets into the train with two boxes which she can hardly carry! The first time I had seen her sometime last week at around 7:45 pm, I purchased a hair-band from her then. I was quite touched to see her doing all the hard-work at her

"This lady is a motivation factor for me - I also want to work hard! :)."

Given that both are roughly in the same age group, the feeling is understandable!!

Some things never change :D

[apru]

You are so correct! :)

[bhavanar]

I know what you feel.

things which are not in our control are GOD's wish (so keep working hard till we get them). I will also pray to god to give her good health and wealth!

When society falls weak, families crumble.

I remember my history book of school days mentioning that earlier society cared. Society will take care of orphans. It will provide support to families who have lost their livelihood provider. The current scenario is not very encouraging. Forget support, it just acts as vulture who wouldn't mind feeding on deads and their remainings. Society should change. Society will change.

And, yeah. I pray for all.

Society is not a singularity. It's not a case of either-or. There are people who care and give support. There are people who don't. Any stable society would have people of both types.
