If you needed proof that India is changing this amazing conversation between an Doctor and a Panwalla in Pune is what you need to read! It will probably be the most inspiring thing you read today. This story was shared by Nishant Kumar. “I was dropping my mom to the Pune Lohegaon airport one night with my friend, Zia. On the way back, we stopped at a paan-shop opposite Symbiosis College, Lohegaon, and Zia being a Banarasi, couldnt resist a paan. The guy making the paan was around 21 years of age. I was speaking in English with Zia discussing the medical problem of osteo-arthritis as I was a little sentimental on seeing off Maa and didnt want the paan-wala to understand and judge me. He was doing his job, making his pan and secretly listening to our talks. In the end, he softly replied, Dont worry my brother, she will be fine by the grace of Allah. I will pray for her. Also, ask her to rub aloe-vera stems over her paining joints as I read they work wonders. He said these exact words! In English! I was perplexed. What he told me next was startling. He was a graduate in B.Com from his hometown, had to start a paan shop here to earn money and was presently doing distant correspondence for an MBA (Post-graduation) from Symbiosis! He said he studies at night, is a newspaper vendor in the morning, and runs the paan-shop during the day till 11 PM night! I believe when people like him could care for education to this extent, work towards developing their future to the next unimaginable level and work towards it with total dedication, miracles are bound to happen.” Courtesy : Inspiring Young India
