Though not Goa related, I thought members on this list would be interested
in an item I received from a friend.
Sachin Phadte
Mrs Neelavathi, a domestic help, is a resident of Triplicane, Chennai,
Tamilnadu. She is the mother of three sons, all of them carpenters. On March
8, she found a camera attached cell phone lying on the road. It is worth Rs.
18,000 and someone offered to sell it and give her Rs. 10,000 to part with
it. The wedding of her eldest son is slated for June 9. But, for Neelavathi,
others' belongings amounted to "burden". She promptly handed it over to the
ladyof the household where she has been working for the last 18 years. The
lady, Mrs Sharadha, in turn, called in the police and passed it on to them.
The police traced out the owner as one Mr Saumitran, a US based NRI
presently in town. Saumitran gifted Rs. 1,500 to the good-natured
Neelavathi. The Chennai Police Commissioner Natarajan gave her Rs. 500 in
appreciation of her honesty. Octogenarian astrologer-philanthropist, Mr
Varadhan awarded her Rs. 7,000 when he learnt of the incident, as is his
practice. Based on a report in DINAMANI, Tamil Daily of March 20, 2004.
