Today, we were walking to our usual place for having our usual dose of snacks and tea ,to our one and the only favourite MCD. While on the way ,we[Me and my friend} saw a person standing looking at each passerby with hopeful eyes bright eyes.His face though appeared dark,may be due to the darkness or complexion. He appeared about in early thirty's with his family probably standing at the road side.He had a wife with two kids,one of them was about 4 yrs and the other was at the breast.His face, though dark but those lines of worry were clearly visible.The shine of hope was increasing with each passerby coming towards him but soon it flickered and died when they just gave a cold look and went away.The agony was clearly visible on his family but he was not saying anything to any body.Just stood there with an effort to keep the rays of hope alive.And those passerby just out of fascination and curiousity went towards them but none tried to ask anything from them.May be just by their appearance ,the onlookers were attracted.The phenomena was repeating many times and we could not stop ourselves so we advanced there towards the family ,fascinated by the Doppler phenomenon of hope in the eyes of the man.We went there and enquired about him.We found that he was a victim of cheating while travelling in the train.He was originally from Pune,Maharashtra.The associate with whom he was travelling just disappeared with all of his cash and baggage.Our mind was now seeing the whole plot of the story.He was a bussinessman and was coming with his trusted friend who worked with him.He had never imagined that he would ever fall into such devastating situation like this and his own close associate will dump him like this after looting him.The story was having full impact on our mind.We were moved and our heart melted by the plight of those two little kids.They had nothing for the past 24 hrs.We then decide to give them some money and a cellphone to make a call.But taking some lessons from the daily news papers I dropped the idea of giving my cellphone.Then we suggested him to make a call but he said he had her old mother at home and he did't want to give this news to her.Then We gave him some more money and started walking back to our destination.After walking few meters our mind came suddenly out of the sympathy well where it was drowning a few minutes back.It suddenly gave us the feeling that we ourselves are now the victim of fraud.It was because of the events that are happening these days the stories similar to that.But our other part of mind suddenly kicked us and said "stop being the Jerk.What if he is in real need.even if he is not,what will you lose??/just those few hundreds.Just think what he will gain.Those little kids will eat some thing.Their mother can sleep in peace for tonight ,at least.The money will give satisfaction to the father of two for not letting their children sleeping hungry.The money will help him to get back his dear ones.It will help a mother to get her son back.More over,This money will help him to have faith on Humanity and it will tell him that every person at this place is not a thug."...with these thoughts going in the brain we got back to our hostel.

this is not a single story.Thousands of such incidents happen in our country.This family was lucky they weren't poisoned on the way.But all the victims aren't so lucky.They just fall prey to these thugs.
The fraudulent ways of making money is increasing too.So the common people hesitate to help the victims.The humanity is just fading away.
I just want to tell those scumbags ,excess of every thing is evil.Don't overdo such things so that the humanity die inside human beings a cruel death.
Don't kill it..................................................
