Around five days back, I was relaxing after my dinner. I received a call. My roomie, veera. I was wondering. “Why this guy is not yet back!”
He said in a hurried voice "Please block my SBI credit cards!"
"What sup man? What’s the matter?"
"I lost my wallet half an hour ago. Try to block the cards as soon as possible".
"Sure. Tell me the credit card numbers"
"I don’t remember the card numbers. I will tell you my online banking username and password. You can find the numbers there".
"Okay"
I have noted down those credentials. Thanks to Airtel broadband connection and Google. But the online banking authentication was failing. Meanwhile, veera called twice or thrice. He was really worried about his credit cards bills. At last, we found the credit card numbers, customer care number and we successfully blocked the cards. Customer care guy confirmed that there was no transaction on that day. Thank God!
Veera was home after an hour.
"What happened man! Where did you lose your wallet?" I enquired.
"I don’t know. I think I kept it in my jerkin pocket, which already had my cell phone. Probably, it has slipped somewhere while I was riding on the bike".
"How much amount was there in the wallet and what else was there?"
"Some 3500 plus cash, 2 credit cards and 2 debit cards".
"Oops!! Have you blocked the debit cards?"
"Yes! I have blocked the citi bank card. I have to block ICICI card"
"Hurry up man!"
************************************************
Today. I came home a bit late. Veera was jumping like a kid.
"Hey, was up man! Why are you so happy?"
"I met a gem of gems today. I don’t know. I find words neither in Telugu nor in English to describe him."
"Was up dude? Who is he?"
"You know! I found my wallet."
I exclaimed,” but how?"
"Some person has found it on the road. He picked it and called me".
"I wonder how he found your number!"
"He called up citi bank customer care and found my number".
Frankly speaking, if I found some wallet on the road, I wouldn't have done it. Probably, I wouldn't have picked it up. He might have fought with that citi bank customer care guy. Because, I don’t think they will reveal the phone numbers of their customers that easily. May be that is why it took him 5 days to call. Anyway, I was so happy hearing all these. I was happy to hear about some character which we could see only in movies or stories. Above all, I was happy to see the joy in veera's eyes. I looked straight into his eyes. I could see his happiness. Eyes are so expressive!
Veera said "You know! I am so happy not because I found my wallet. But because I met this person".
"Interesting yaar, very interesting. What is his job?"
"He is working as a delivery boy in MGInn, near SRNagar".
"How does he look like?"
"He is a bit black. But he seems to be a confident person"
The other day I was reading some profiles in orkut. One girl wrote in her about me "I am a girl with lots of moral values (honesty is my biggest strength and I hate people who lie)". I wondered for a moment, how these HONEST people look like. Pch! I missed a chance. I wish I would have seen him. May be his confidence came from his honesty. Doesn't this honesty make people strong?
"So, what did you do?" I asked.
"I bought him a T-shirt".
"Good. And btw what is his name?"
"Mr.Satish Kumar".
P.S:- Is this the kind of stuff you want me to write?
