“Why do I love travelling in the Indian railways?” wrote X user Sakshi while sharing a picture of balm.
In the next few lines, she added that she missed her train back home and boarded the general coach of the next train. She added, “A few days ago, I was travelling back home after taking an online exam. The server went down and delayed the exam by an hour, and I missed my booked train. After waiting for two hours for the next train, I got into the general coach.”
The woman even shared a touching story of compassion and kindness from her train travel. She further shared, “I had a severe headache, so I was pressing my own head and had tears in my eyes. Suddenly, an aunty sitting nearby noticed and offered, saying: ‘Beta, yeh balm laga lo ya mein hi laga deti hoon aur thoda sar bhi daba deti hoon. [Apply this balm or should I do it myself and also massage your head a bit].’ I wonder if you cross paths with such people because of your karma or if there are still such kind souls around us.”
