“How can bad happen to me when I am doing good?” , was the conviction of Shri Akhilesh Sharma, Cash Officer with State Bank of Indore, as he sped on a two wheeler on the Kannod ghat , a 12 kms stretch to reach his village Khategaon where he had to rush his father, who had met with an accident, to the hospital.
The Kannod ghat and Khategaon village looked like two small lamps burning at each end at night. The deep ghat looked terrifying at night but that was not all, Akhilesh was told that a tigress, roaring ferociously, was in search of its lost cub in the ghat. But Akhilesh had to go to his dear father no matter what challenges he may face enroute.
He was already late, for just before starting homeward, he had assisted a desperate colleague, frantically seeking help,as his little child had fallen from the terrace and was seriously injured. At their branch in Khategaon, only their landlord had a two wheeler, no one in the village had any vehicle of their own. Akhilesh requested the landlord who was quick to offer his two-wheeler and rushed his colleague home and enabled the family to get immediate medical attention for the bleeding child which as a result survived the fall.
Akhilesh’s belief in good actions and love for his father took him safely on the steep ghat that night. Though he heard the loud roaring of the tigress, as he moved swiftly on the ghat, he was undaunted and reached his father in time.
