Value of milkmen,grocery deliver & Vegetable Vendor at your doorstep!

People say that Papa value is known only at distress and rest o the time people most of the time ignore them. Just think about the time of quarantine during the COVID-19 scare when people are avoiding each other in the name of getting infected and then rumors are never-ending. 

So, in this time of distress value of milkmen, grocery delivery & vegetable vendor at your doorstep could be understood by those who must have seen earlier days of distress in life.

This is such a time when people become either a thoughtful person or the flashy one and experience of such kind could be understood by those who have gone through such times in life. I remember as a child when I was 5-6 years old I have gone through the 84 riots and although I have stated it many times here-in I would like to make understand the lessons one has learned in such a situation.

There was a time when the curfew was imposed across every nook and corner of North India and only the lapse was given during 5-6 P.M. My father use to fetch milk for us and he hurriedly uses to go 3 Kms away to bring milk as the milk sellers were congregated at different milk clusters made of shanties where the Buffalo and Cow were tied.

So, dutiful he was and he always went in civil dress and not in lungi as the dress he was wearing was full pant and shirt with boots as if he is going to do a parade. The reason was that most of the people in North India wearing lungi were thought to be suspicious as Bokaro Steel City has lots of migrant workers while my father was working at Bokaro Steel Plant.

So, as a law-abiding citizen and his strict demeanor was praiseworthy in the eyes of many people across the community. Similarly. although the situation is not that grim as the essential goods and services could be fetched easily around us even if a person who is zestful and has never been bad has to face some awkward situation and to avoid it always better thought is to take the help of milkman and vegetable vendors in the community rather than venturing out as the place where I stay at Raj Nagar Extension, Ghaziabad is one of the best places where all good services are available at an affordable cost.

P.S: The day when I first went to get the Amul Milk in the evening after Corona Virus severe outbreak I said to the shopkeeper who was looking childish although adult from the fact that you are alone and it could create a problem here. He showed his strength on me by taking me against the hose pipe at the adjacent society and hit me with his heavy legs on my abdominal. Thankfully, I do not wear an abdominal guard but his legs could not break me and the liver took the blow in a tough way and the situation remained under control.
