Learn the World through Strangers.

Hello Steemers, this is Fayaz.
Here I would like to share my experience of meeting new people. It could be in the bus stops, in train, random places. Anywhere!
So while I was travelling in the heavily packed Chennai-Manglore Mail Express. I happen to meet Sheikh Aftab Hussein. He is from Kolkata. After years of working in Mumbai and Culcutta, he decided to join his brother-in-law in Kerala to work as a carpenter. In order to reach Kerala, he has to spend more than 3 days combined in train. He acknowledged that Kerala is much better place to work in terms of the people, the food, the natural beauty and the payout. He also said that Kerala and Kolkata is like 80 and 100. There is no communal issues and everyone lives in harmony.
He is the youngest of 3 brothers. He lost his elder brother to an unknown disease. All he could tell was that he had stomach pain. And the middle brother is working in Vizag and he even welcomed me to his home-place. He was so kind and hardworking, that his wife and parents are living off of his earnings that he transfers to his spouses account.
I regret of not taking a photo with him to share with you guys. But his face will always be in my mind. And I hope the best happens for him.
