Taxi Drvier Pledges His Taxi to Help Passanger

Mr. Taras was taking a passenger in his taxi from Pune to Mumbai. On the way the passenger started feeling very uncomfortable. Mr Taras sensed that something might be seriously of concern. By the time the passanger handed over his mobile phone to Mr Taras. Passenger's sister was talking and she requested Mr Taras for help. So he took the passenger to a doctor who felt that it was a heart attack and passenger needed to be admitted to a hospital immediately. Hospital would not admit without receiveing a heft advance payment. Neither Mr Taras nor the passeneger had much money on them. Assurances were of no use. So finally Mr Taras offered to give his car keys as pledging his own taxi.

This is a rare and noble gesture of a taxi driver and a human being. This needs to be applauded when we have been reading so many news about passenger being looted or raped. Thank you Mr Taras

Finally there is some concern in India for road accidents

Finally, there seems to be a feeling coming into existence that something should be done and can be done to reduce road accidents. And this time surprisingly the initiative is coming from a government.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K Rosaiah on Sunday favoured constitution of a Road Safety Coordination Panel comprising senior officials from the departments concerned to regularly meet and chalk out steps to minimize road accidents. Rosaiah will soon hold a high level review meeting with ministers and top officials in this regard and this will be followed by interaction with district officials, highway patrolling police and other departments concerned.

This cannot go on like this. We have to get into action and see that road accidents are minimised, Rosaiah said in an official release in Hyderabad today.

Sanskrut language is still used here

http://www.ddinews.gov.in/Social/sanskrit.htm


In a way, this is a service to humanity. Languages are windows to human minds and keeping old languages alive helps us to keep our contact with old intact. It may help us understand, in current perspective, how people of the past thought and felt, and what happened of that. This may assist us moulding our future.
