Greetings to All Bloggers
It is very difficult to trust a stranger. But some strangers change your life many times.
My father has a shop in which he sells plant medicines, fertilizers, seeds and other fertilizers medicines and sprays etc.
When the store runs out of fertilizer, they collect two or three hundred sacksof fertilizer from a big factory in the city and store it in the warehouse. So that you don't have to bring it from there again and again.
It was two weeks ago that the shop ran out of fertilizer and my father's health was somewhat bad. He could not travel so far by himself, so he said that you should go with the driver, because an unknown driver could not be trusted, he might run away with manure on the way and cause us loss. This fertilizer was worth about 10 to 12 lakh rupees. Aba Jaan called a driver who had a big loading truck and asked him to bring fertilizer from Lahore. And Abajan had contacted those from whom the fertilizer was to be taken on mobile phone.
I sat with the driver to bring fertilizer from Lahore and left for Lahore. The journey was quite long but then the driver started talking to me on the way and I also felt good that someone was going to talk to me and the journey would not be known by talking.
So he started telling me about himself. While talking, he suddenly became emotional that I used to deliver food and was struggling to make ends meet. But then my mother sold her jewelery and got me this loading vehicle and I started driving it and now this vehicle makes me more profitable than food delivery. And now I have built my house too. She told about her children and shared her life experiences.
Similarly, our journey passed very well and we reached Lahore. When we reached there, the people whom father had contacted to get fertilizer. They hired their own workers and put all the sacks in the loading truck.
There we sat for some time and relaxed and got rid of the fatigue of our long journey. And then we started back again and on the way we started talking again. And I got a lot of knowledge from him. He told me about his life experiences and he guided me that you can make your life better. I really enjoyed talking to him.
I thought for a moment that it was a complete stranger to me when I sat in that car and how close this one trip brought me to it. And he was now so frank with me that I started sharing everything with him.
We did not know about the journey while we were talking and we reached our area and after reaching the shop we hired some laborers in the warehouse and kept all the sacks.
- He was much older than me but we had become good friends during one trip. We enjoyed this journey and did our work and we did not spend this journey in sadness. I still remember his instructions
