A grand mother was alone @ JFK Airport of New York returning back after assisting her daughter during maternity. The Maharastrian lady was quite emotional remembering her grandson and wanted to call her daughter and inform her that everything was okay and flight was getting ready.
Alone and being a first time traveller, her anxiety was quite high.
A tall, handsome Indian gentleman approached her and asked: 'May I help you?'. She said to herself, God has come to help me. She told him that she wants to talk to her daughter and I am totally confused and lost.
'Don't cry, Don't cry...come with me. He took her to the telephone Booth and helped her to make the call. He helped her with luggage and even changed his seat next to her till Mumbai. During that flight he talked and made her comfortable till she went to sleep.
Later while departing he gave her his card and told her to come to him if she needs any help. Repeatedly till they parted away. She discovered that he was son in law of Dr Muranjan whom this lady knew.
This gentleman was Dr B K Goyal. A real living legend worth a Bharat Ratna. It is persons like this which makes our country great and us proud of ourselves.
