At times in life we cannot imagine someone from some where will come and help us when we are almost in "Totally lost hope" state.
Things can be smaller or larger in view, but at times even the smaller not much highlighting situations can also create a total PANIC...
It was Monday. I was in the bus travelling back from my office to home. I got a call from a friend, she enquired if i was back home, she wanted to meet. I informed her that i shall meet her at her place as soon as i reach. She stays in the same Area.
I reached back home around 9.00 PM. I went home, kept my all documents, got fresh, changed the dress and i gave a call to my Friend to ask if she was done with her dinner and if we can meet. She informed me that she she was back just 5 mins before me as she went to the temple. I told her to have her dinner first and send me a message and then we shall meet.
At 9.50 i got a call from her, By then i was just standing downstairs of her place. She came down running. I saw her face. To half the face she had applied chandan and rose water.The face was red and swollen. I asked her what happened to her face?. She told me that she was taking the boiled milk upstairs to her room, she slipped and the Hot milk spilled over her face and leg.
I was worried and completely out of mind, Nothing clicked, what was to be done at that point of time. It was 10.00 PM by then. I called up my mom to ask her what can be done. She informed me that we can apply burnol for the burns. Now the problem was at that point of time where shall i go to get the ointment.
Bangalore is a great place. All shops close max by 10 PM except bakery near my place which remains open till 11.00 PM. I did not even have any money so I ran towards Medical shop which was nearer to that place and that uncle knew me, just assuming that he might give me the medicine that time understanding the emergency and i shall pay him the very next day morning. When i reached there, I found the Medical Shop closed. I was totally confused. I was continuously thinking if nothing is applied on the face, the face will have all marks of burn and it will be itching.
It was required to search up a medical shop as soon as possible. For dont know what reason i suddenly rushed to the bakery near my house without giving a second thought as it was getting real late. I asked the bakery bhaiya to give me 100 Rs. He did not even ask me a single question and gave me 100 rs note. I ran towards the main road and found one of the Medical Shop open. I bought the ointment from there and ran back to my friends place.
While returning from her place i was continuously thinking... "I did not even say a Thank you to the bakery bhaiya". I went back to my home took 100 rs from my purse and went back to the bakery to return him the money and Thank him for the sudden help.
At times you can not imagine.. People whom we don't know at all or least can actually help us above any expectations. I really don't know what clicked my mind that time that i went and asked him for the money. And he being so grateful gave me the money, did not even gave a second thought of why i was asking for money, might be sensing the urgency/emergency to the way i arrived.
I am really Thankful to this person. God Bless Him.
You never know.. who can help us out at times when we are in such situations.
God really has his own way of doing things.... :-)

I have only heard this quote since my childhood days "A Friend in need is a Friend Indeed" but you have really shown the real meaning of it by your actions!
