My flight, brave people

I fly by so many stars, allow me to tell you about some of them.

Nanhee, the youngest one with 4 brothers. When she was 8 she lost her parents . How , why I did not have the courage to ask.

Nanhee had a smile on her face when she was sharing her past or should one say sorrows with me. The eldest brother left college and started to work as a waiter, he was determined that his siblings get to college. Nanhee like her siblings after school hours  jobs in BPOs- tele marketing. I swore that all tele markteers are doing what they do not with 'choice', will give them a patient ear.

Nanhee is working for a bank now, the one elder to her is a physical trainer for the likes of reliance...the one older to him is working in a KPO and the eldest is still part of catering services. Braveone got married , ensuring Nanhee had a female guide with her.

They were the brave, believed in Sai.

Ji

Elderly taxi driver , from near my residence! 3 months , found him!

I have been on look out for his likes for small trips across the city when I get tired.

He is from Delhi, came to Mumbai to be part of the glitzy and rewarding world of films, he wrote songs and it remained a love, he had a family and his daughter and son he educated so that they can break out of the life he was in. His daughter was married , his son in law was working with a BPO in a good position and she had started a business with another partner 30 lacs was invested ; they had a flat in Andheri up market.

She did not want to be seen with her father.

Son finished his engineering , the jobs were of 15k which he found beneath his dignity. He continued a merry existence his old father a taxi driver.

Life is different for all, some hand guides it from doom to happiness.

That seems to be the differentiators.
