A journey is usually something everyone enjoys, filled with excitement. But what happens when a journey is undertaken with fear and devotion? That is what this story is about.
Let's start:
Krishna had finished his studies and he was working at a call center. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMisNyfc9pF
One day, his friend told him, “There’s a job in Delhi with 1 LPA salary. If you’re okay with it, I’ll talk to my friend and try to get you a job there.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nl6CCi8km
Thinking it’s in Delhi, Krishna agrees. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxNN5u1gf3
The reason behind for agreeing Delhi offer is "Krishna’s family was heavily in debt. He was the one his family depended on. Although he's father is working he would like to give him peace, and Krishna wanted to pay off the debts and buy a house where he could see his parents happy. That was his wish".92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDFyGHExpw
Krishna believed in being honest and never cheating anyone. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvE0NssU9w
Even though he knew his family’s situation, he was determined: “No matter what, I will never let go of my honesty and integrity.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY27ash63Nb
To get a job in his field of study, he needed time and he needs to do some study related courses, but that required money. Although he didn’t like the call center job, for money sake he will do that job, some how the job didn’t feel right for him.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxGzXY1KXF
At that moment, his friend told him about the job in Delhi, and Krishna said okay.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxnJq09TUo
A week later, he received a phone call for an interview from Delhi. The interview would be entirely over the phone.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQuz1rWT27
During the interview, they said the job would be from 10 am to 5 pm, and he’d have to answer customer queries and help them and some technical work will be there that you need to handle. We will provide complete training on that.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKQ1QqHFIa
After the interview, the interviewer told Krishna “You’re selected.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZJZKw0KT
He told his parents about the selection and left to Delhi for the job.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWKPTPFUYb
After a 26 hour journey, Krishna reached Delhi. He got down from the train and called the person who’d contacted him to ask for the address.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGBiizJW2a
That person said the office wasn’t in Delhi but it is in Ghaziabad.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSijbusq8W0
He was told to take the metro rail from Delhi to reach exact location, which was about 1.5 hours from the Delhi railway station.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX70gNYKPCy
It was Krishna’s first time in Delhi. He had to figure out where the metro station was, so he stepped outside. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRDiATsYdH
He went to an auto driver and asked. But Krishna didn’t know that there was a way to go directly from the railway station to the metro station. Not knowing this, he paid the auto driver 200 rupees.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvYfCLso4U
After getting down from the auto, Krishna realized this and thought he had to be more careful from now on then.
Later he entered the metro station.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyJe3b9nFV
For the first time, he boarded the metro train in Delhi, he had never even been on a metro in Hyderabad. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIHIJ1YGAy
He asked a fellow passenger when his station would arrive.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kDNPBHNlR
The man told him to follow the metro map. Krishna said okay and kept an eye on the map and the areas around him.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Aqn6JoPTT
An hour later, he reached his station. He got off the metro and called the person who’d told him to come, asking where to go next. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbESLmWUkfu
The person gave him a place name and said to take an auto from there.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fVUrJfoN2
Krishna took an auto and left. About 40 minutes later, he reached the location.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL1tY2xim9
He called that person again, the person said, “Our man will be there. I’ll give you his number. Call him and go to the room with him. I’ll come and take you to the office.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKWsRBI80k
There, a man was already waiting for Krishna.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gix93gNi4
Krishna called that man, and the two of them went to the room together.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkaRQhQ1FD
Krishna freshened up and waited to go to the office. But it got late that day, so the man told him to rest and that they’d go to the office the next morning.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9l0SfnI6q
The next day:92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsxn6LyL0H
Krishna reported at the office, submitted his documents, and looked around the office atmosphere.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaxdXDKaXg
But it wasn’t actually an office it was a training center. They were teaching how to set up a business, what you need, how to talk to people.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoeYAA0zP9
After the training, they would give you a store to run. The investment materials would be theirs, but the store would be yours to run, like a franchise.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLid1NccAP
Since he’d already come, Krishna thought, “Let’s do something" and stayed.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7g4boEaFb
From the next day, he started attending five days of training. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATrE3dF0yw
During the training, Krishna found out something "For the franchise, the company required an investment of 10,000 to 50,000 rupees".92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAlQb7nTga
The person who had called Krishna to Delhi hadn’t told him this at all. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3H2sgbfj
Now, that man was telling and convincing Krishna to pay the money.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r1w2WWKfs
Krishna knew very well his family’s situation and the debts. He didn’t want to take on another loan just to pay for this job or business. So, he decided to return home.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhcjjf1saV
He told his roommate that he would like to go home to arrange money. Actually Krishna don't want to stay there but the person wants him to pay money. For diversion he said he will go home to arrange money.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb25pfRFNjz
Then he booked a train ticket online to Secunderabad.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8sQ9O2MVI
Just then, our Prime Minister Modi announced demonetization. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg35VkJevE
There was no money in the ATMs, and only a few banks were open, with limited hours.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqJUU0swQe
Even in the place where Krishna was, no banks were open.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwHIwLKwe
Out of the money he’d brought, he had only 2,500 rupees left. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOJj3BMvBY
He booked the train ticket online for 800 rupees, leaving him with 1,200 rupees. He had 200 rupees in his wallet and 1,500 rupees in his bank account.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYafzyrJ7x
The train from Delhi was at 5:30 pm, and Krishna left his room at 1:00 pm.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZBc9Y0b5q
He ate a meal for 70 rupees, leaving him with 130 rupees. Auto and metro charges together cost 65 rupees.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7m2dTMpGr
Confident that his online ticket would be enough, Krishna decided to travel with the remaining 65 rupees.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ThcgzeBP
He reached the Delhi railway station by 4:30 pm. The train came at 5:15 pm, and Krishna boarded it.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbCHVN5lII
Krishna had an online ticket, but the ticket is in the waiting list. He thought he could show it to the ticket collector (TC) and request a seat. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhr0rw1L8
Ten minutes after the train started, the TC came. Krishna eagerly showed him the ticket. But the TC told him that the ticket wasn’t valid and that the money would be refunded to his bank account.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUEu9TvZmX
Krishna was shocked by listening TC, he said the ticket he’d bought online is in the waiting list, and he didn’t even have money with him.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLNRGnwGAm
The TC told him, “It’s not my problem. If you have money, buy a new ticket. Otherwise, get down at the next station.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3bNf9vFj6
Krishna argued, saying he’d bought a ticket online, but the TC didn’t care and told him to leave.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QajxcsYnv
As Krishna was moving to the next compartments, he saw an empty seat and sat down. He showed his ticket to the people nearby. They told him, “This will be enough. If the TC comes, we’ll talk to him.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJwmdgS30M
Then he said what was the situation of him, why he came to Delhi all the story.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUmGw1qFC0
The passengers with him also offered some of the food they’d brought.
Meanwhile, Krishna kept thinking about his situation he was scared and tired.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjim3utX7k
The train was passing through Maharashtra. Some unknown persons talking like "I will get down at Balharshah station". 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKNJCAZxum
Krishna remembered the name of the place, Balharshah. He had traveled by the Balharshah train to attend his friend’s wedding in Mancherial.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5jQ4fG1H3
But, It would take until 2 pm the next day to reach there. So Krishna spent the whole night awake, scared.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcaI9gIiqX
The next morning, without even brushing his teeth, Krishna stayed on the upper berth, chanting “Om Namo Narayana,” as he had great devotion to God.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfThBXHG000
He expected the TC to come at either 9 am or 2 pm. But the TC came at 11 am. When the TC came, Krishna had his eyes closed, chanting the mantra.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr4UdwL8L7
The people who had shared their food with Krishna told to TC that the upper berth was theirs, so the TC left without saying anything.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvvYmRPI3K
At 1 pm, Krishna received a message: “Your online ticket has been cancelled. Money will be refunded to your account.”
Seeing that message, Krishna began to sweat with fear. He thought, “At the next station, I’ll get down and somehow make my way to Balharshah.”92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlLndTayh2
He thanked the people who had shared their food and got down at the next station.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96aZkyfIcB
The station was Chandrapur. From there, Balharshah was about 120 km away, which he came to know from an auto driver. Also he asked the driver about an ATM, he said it was near by.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvnXqVNyCG
But the ATM didn’t work, and another ATM had a “No cash” sign. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxPbCW6z4
Krishna was upset he was stuck in an unknown town, with no money.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ8eo4YSbK
Then he remembered that he had a chequebook. He wrote a self-cheque for 1,000 rupees and went to the bank. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJCR3QzIS7
Weak and tired, he walked several kilometers to the bank.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGBBMbRD8
Because of demonetization, there was a huge queue at the bank. He had to take a token to withdraw money. Even with the token, it wasn’t clear if he’d get cash that day.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgQXeUxOpq
He tried his luck at a nearby ATM, but there was no money there, either.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZ8BoOjwF
Exhausted, he stood in line at the bank. It took two hours for his token number to come up. Seeing Krishna so tired, a bank employee took pity on him, brought him inside, and asked the security guard to get him a samosa and tea.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamUixH46v
Krishna gratefully accepted the food and thanked the bank employee. He took out the cash and went to the bus stop.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LJwGGLyg
There, he came to know that there were buses to Balharshah, so he waited. At 5:40 pm, his bus came. 92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzR237L538
He boarded it and reached the Asifabad bus stop in Telangana by 9 pm.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXbpIXLp5
He found out that the bus to Hyderabad would come at 10 pm. He had dinner while waiting for the bus.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd759enht2u
At 10 pm, the bus arrived. Krishna happily got in, sat down, and finally reached Hyderabad and home.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tAnIIctqm
Summary: Chanting the Lord’s name helped Krishna, and he was ultimately saved by the people around him. God tests us, but if we keep our faith in him and remain honest and true, He will always send help during our difficult times.92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsfCjzeiVC
***“Om Namo Narayana”***92Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2m1NWJSSz
New life begins for Krishna with more twists.
See you soon.
