She's from Bhuvneshwar.
She works as domestic help. She has no family. She isn't
educated, doesn't speak/understand our language much.
She earns just over 5500 a month.
She is poor, but she has empathy.
Last night, when the news of Amphan got worse, she arranged
to send a tempo-full of essentials to her village. I asked her how she managed
it, especially in these times when the households she works at have halted her
services.
"I took a loan", she replied.
"Why?"
"Because didi, this year, the world needs hope more
than ever before."
Some hearts know no boundaries. Some hearts are just
ordinary, with such extraordinary depth of courage that knowing them becomes a
privilege.
