Help from the Blue

Help from the blue.

We were in Sooryanagar, on the Delhi-Up boarder, with our son, Diwakar, who was with Mohan Meaking. My sister was a teacher in Delhi. She purchased a DDA Flat in Mayur Vihar Pocket III. The Grihapravesam was fixed and we were invited. She asked me to go to her place the night before to help organise things. It was late in the evening and light was fading. I took the Moriss Minor and set out. The route was via Sahadra. I was nearing Sahadra and drove along the usual road. I did not notice the detour sign. In a few seconds there was sudden bump and the car would not move. The engine was whirring.
I didn't have the faintest idea as to what happened. I got down and noticed that the car's hood had entered a huge mound of earth. I got in backed the car clear of the mound. Stopped the engine, got out to take stock of the situation. I have to drive back a couple of hundred yards to reach the fork where the road to Delhi detoured. Got into the car to turn back and to my horror the engine would not start.
I had no other way than to walk to the fork to seek help. I asked for help of a couple of passing cars and taxis. None would oblige. It was getting late. Traffic along this road was not that frequent. Some have refused to oblige. I lost hopes and was returning to lock the car when I spotted a three wheeler. There were two passengers in it.
Hesitantly I narrated my predicament and requested him to come back to help me after dropping the passengers. He asked me to take him to the car. We all arrived at the car. He asked me to get into the car and take control on the road as he pushed it from behind with his leg.
He left the passengers in Vivekvihar and then pushed me to my house in Sooryanagar accross the boarder. It was a Herculean feat. I felt God had come to my help in his form. I thanked him profusely and wanted to know how much was the fare. He said he had not done this for fare. It was just helping some one in distress he said. After a lot of persuasion he accepted Rs.10/-.
I thanked him and God
