A heart melt real story!
It is not circumstances that matters, it is only how react to those circumstances that really count. As she belongs to an old era, she refuses any direct help as she prefers to be self-reliant as far as she can stretch. But the story would have been very different if it had happened to a person between the age group of 25-40. This age group has grown lazy and looks for easy options. This is the reflection of the growing and prevailing trend among our fellow countrymen/women. Sadly it is true and does not seem to change soon as not much of effort is directed towards that.
In the image below is Shila Ghosh, an 83-year-old woman who lives in Pali in West Bengal, a state in the eastern region of India and is the nation’s fourth-most populous.
Her only son had heart ailment and passed away a few months ago. To make ends meet, Shila now works. Every evening, Shila comes from Pali to Kolkata to sell chips.
When asked if she has a problem in travelling, she weakly smiled and said: “No, the bus gets me here and my health is not that bad”.
Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity and respect is everything for her, she is determined to work until the end of her life rather than to beg on the streets.
****************
When we go on complaining, let us remember her….. she chooses to solve her problems on her own, as we've been hearing God helps them those who help themselves.
Don’t worry, Shila is being helped. Although she refuse donations and prefers to make her own living, many people found ways to help without making her feel dependent on anyone i.e. purchase more chips from her… some are also helping her to build a kiosk.
****************
Moral of the story: Every personality should have this kind of attitude.
It is necessary to be courageous till end of life. Though age slows down the movement but still with will power, lots can be managed.
Don’t give up easily, as this will help you to live a happy life.
