Giridhari Kashyap - Ambala Cantt Rickshaw Puller And the worst happened one day - The Story - Individual Tour

We are at Ambala Cantt Station.

And walking towards Grand Trunk Road (G.T. Road).

Ambala Cantt. station is having two exit. One towards G. T. Road And other one is Railway Colony. But if you proceed towards Railway Colony may be you wont find conveyance such as Rickshaw.

Rickshaw is the major travelling source within Ambala Cantt Or Ambala City.

There were many rickshaw pullers requesting to hire them for the onward journey but the eyes selected 40 plus person standing alone quietly.

We were moving slowly And as usual the talks.

He is Giridhari Kashyap, 48 years old.

And the story that touched the heart.

Year 1995 - Giridhari Kashyap son was not well. He brought his son for treatment from Firozpur, Punjab. And the worst happened one day. The son was no more - Yes, he died. That was the worst to happen in Giridhari's life and he started Rickshaw pulling job. He do not want to leave Ambala though his wife stays in Punjab.

That was almost piercing the heart. And to stop tears was impossible.

As we progress the talks ends and we reached our destination.

The charges Rs. 30/- he said.

I paid more.

Yes, I have always soft corner for labourers or you can say people who work physically hard. I respect them whole-heartedly.

Without labour no wonders would have been existing.

Without labour no movement would have been possible.

The journey continues...
