Got a call at 04-30 AM, In a dozy state I picked up the call and said
“Hello”.
Madam this is Ahmed from Meru cabs.
Ok. Have you reached to the address given? I asked.
Yes madam almost. I am on the way to your home. Can you confirm the
address once again pls?
I explained him the address and immediately woke up rubbing my eyes with
the knuckles and started telling off about my boss,”Oh god its
so difficult to wake up early in the morning that too in Bangalore. Its all
because of my boss, cant we book a ticket in the day time around 9 or 10 o
clock or cant we have a war room meeting connecting to site instead of
attending a live meeting…..blah blah..”
Anyways , its better to go early so that we can return
early by finishing meeting…just like a famous saying ”early to bed
and early to rise”.
Finally got ready by 4-50 Am and boarded the car which was at the
downstairs.
I said ‘ Ahmed, I am sorry to make you wait’.
It’s ok madam. Don’t worry ‘We will charge you for waiting time
too’ said Ahmed with a chuckle on his face.
Hmmmm……Chalo lets move. It’s already late..I said
Finally started to Bangalore International Airport at 5 o clock in the
early hours of the day.
As I was feeling drowsy, I slowly inclined to sleep on the way to
airport.
Ahmed awakens me and said ”Madam we reached airport”.
Oh is it?
Yes madam.
Saying Thanks to Ahmed, I collected my bag and paid off. And
left towards departure section. As usual a long queue at the counters ,so preferred
collecting ticket to Rajahmundry using kiosk system.
Then headed towards security check, where I was asked for keeping laptop,
mobile and electronic items outside in a tray. In the process of keeping my
things, my mobile found missing.
I stood numbly in the queue thinking where would I forgot my
mobile.In the mean while I heard a voice saying ‘ next ‘.I immediately moved
for security check and cleared.
Then rushed for STD .Luckily I found nearby without much search. I called Amit, my husband to explain the thing what had happened. But to my surprise he said” collect your mobile from the driver who is standing outside near car parking area. I immediately kept the call and rushed towards security personnel asking permission for going out. He questioned me for 5 -10 minutes about why, what purpose and what happened etc. I explained him about the whole thing and finally he allowed me to go to the exit gate and the driver ,Ahmed handed over my mobile with due respect. I thanked Ahmed whole heartedly and then on we prefer to go in his vehicle,whenever needed.Ahmed is so sincere and loyal to his profession. We should say that " We still have trustworthy people like Ahmed in India where crime rate is touching its peak day by day".

Thanks to Ahmed and Thanks to Meru Cabs for choosing persons like Ahmed as his employees.
