A True Incident That Made Me Cry - Ppt Download

Dear Ms. Ash Methews;

Greetings;

Congrets for wording the incident so beautifully. Your story reminds me of a very similar incident that happened with me.

I was returning to Baroda from Bangalore with my wife. My tickets were booked well in advance and seat numbers were also confirmed, so I had no problem getting in the train. When I reached at my berth I fond an old man sitting on my window seat. His wife was also with him. I told both of them about my ownership of those seats and requested them shift aside. Neither of them uttered a word or showed any expression.



Angrily I told my wife "Look Manju, What a Dadagiri? On hearing this old man's wife started weeping and told us with a chocked throat "Sir this man is totally paralysed and deaf & dumb too. We are moving from place to place for his treatment but nothing could help him so far. I and my wife got shocked. The couple was travelling to Baroda only and they belong to Baroda.

Hi Ash,
Very thoughtful message...
I used to hear a repeated word in my office saying putting oneself in customer shoes... Fairly nice statement.
In the sameway humanity is believed to be like understanding the feelings of others and acting accordingly... This is finally where your individuality stood up.
Great...
Also Happy Onam to u and all...
Take care,
Regards

hi, i also felt like crying on reading this.. tht lady is very lucky to hav such a loving husband...i also understood how we shud behave before others.. thanks for the post

Dear Asha Mathew
HAPPY ONAM !
In my 30 years of life outside Kerala, I must have traveled almost 30 times and the agony to undergo during train traveling is very severe.
The incident in the train was really touchy. Sudden anger makes us blind at time and compel us to behave unbecomingly with others. However realization is great and hence you are great indeed.

Dear Friends,
I am hearing this story for the second time in just one month's time. I had attended a CEOs training programme at an Institute at Lucknow from 3rd to 7th August 2009. On 6th August 2009, from 3.30 p.m. to 5. p.m. session, one of the faculty members ( who claimed to be Counseller and OB specialist ) handled that session and narrated the very same story with characters little bit different. Our batch was of 24 Officers, of which 6 were from Tamil Nadu eight from Punjab, one from Bihar and rest from West Bengal. Out of the six, one is from Coimbatore. Anyone wanted to check the genuineness, I can give the name and address of all other participants.
Thanks for the second version of the story.

Hi Asha,
It is really touching! But what you did is in the ordinary human nature. Had you been god, you would not have acted that way. It reminds me of a similar incident related in the " 7 habits of highly effective people" of Dr Stephen Covey.

Dear Asha Mathew,
My name is Radhakrishnan Pillai from Pune. I am visiting this site for the first time and your story is the first article I have read. The story is inspiring with strong message to understand other human beings.
Realisation is the road to social well being. It is worth appreaciating and admiriable that you have the the will to express your realization of the mistake, ill-concept or rudeness. We learn from mistakes. We all commit mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly. But reformation is possible only through realization of the mistakes. It is not only that the doer reforms but also for many others to follow.

We find silent sufferes in all spheres of life. It is in a family, in an office, in an organization, institution etc. Such peoples are the oceans of emotions. They have tremendous mental strength and can be the torch bearers for positive reformations at the individual and institutional level.

You story is inspiring. God bless you.
