Never Ignore Your Child!

There was a lot of excitement in the air. The sound of crackers could be heard all around. Manu rushed out of his house when he saw the children of his colony. They all were bursting crackers, having sweets and enjoying with their parents. Manu lived in a big house or I would rather say a flat. Both his parents were working in a MNC. Manu went to one of the best schools in the town. His grand parents lived in Delhi and he lived in Mumbai with his parents. Though he had many friends in his colony they were all celebrating with their families. It was 7:30 P.M. in the evening, when Manu heard the horn of a car; he rushed out to see if his parents were back from work. But, to his disappointment, it was somebody else. He stood there in the balcony, waiting eagerly for his parents as he wanted to celebrate Diwali with them. While standing there and waiting, an hour passed, it was 8:30 P.M. how. He received a phone call from his Mom that they will reach by 9:30 PM. as there was a Diwali party in their office. They both worked in the same office.

Never Trust a Stranger!

Before starting the journey, he made sure that he had not forgotten anything. He got into the train, settled in his seat and looked around. The train was quite crowded as, it was the festival time. Mr. Kapoor settled in his seat and kept his luggage under his seat. To have the double security, he locked his only suitcase with the chain adjacent to his seat. Mr. Mohan Kapoor was the middle-aged salesman, working in an insurance company. As it was the festival of Holi, he was going to his hometown, Agra, from Delhi. As he was a salesman, he was fond of chatting with people. He had a bad habit of chewing tobacco. When he was settled in his seat, a passenger came and sat in front in his seat. The strange passenger was sitting silently and was watching outside the window. Mr. Mohan could not control himself and broke the ice. He started inquiring for his name, where he was coming from, where was he going, in which company did he work, etc. The stranger answered all his questions patiently and he also enquired Mr. Kapoor. From here the train as well As their   gossip started. Being talkative, Mr. Kapoor spoke everything in front of that stranger; like his income his family members, his company, king of work he did. He heard everything very calmly and quietly. After sometime, they exchanged food and when tea vendor came, they had tea. It seemed as if they had tea. It seemed as if they both were separated friends from childhood and have met after a long   time. When the station was about to come Mr. Kapoor felt the need to fresh himself. As he felt the stranger to be his good friend, he left his handbag there on his berth and told him to take care of his bag. The stranger agreed and assured him to be relaxed. Unfortunately, when Mr. Kapoor came back, he saw neither the stranger nor the bag was there. He went from one point to another and checked the washrooms but all in vain. After sometime, when the station came, he realised that the stranger had taken his bag and had left. He was left with just a suitcase full of clothes. When he thought of going to the police station, he realised that he did not know anything about the stranger. He was totally shattered and shocked. He learnt a lesson that day that one should not trust strangers because in todays times, you cannot rely on anyone. He went to his house disappointed and disheartened.
