I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and 
money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" 
I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

This happened about a month or two ago near Lonavala, and even though it 
 sounds like something out of the X Files or from Alfred Hitchcock 
 Presently... it's real ! 
 
 
 This guy drives from Mumbai to Pune and decides not to take the new 
 expressway as he wants to see the scenery. The nevitable happens and 
 when he reaches the ghats his car breaks down - he's stranded miles from 
 nowhere. Having no choice he starts walking on the side of the road, 
 hoping to get a lift to the nearest human habitation. It's dark and raining 
 and pretty soon he's wet and shivering. The night rolls on and no car 
goes by, the monsoon rains are so strong he can hardly see a few feet ahead of 
 him. Suddenly he sees a car coming towards him. It slows and then stops 
 next to him - without thinking the guy opens the car's door and jumps in. 
 Seated in the back, he leans forward to thank the person who had saved him 
when 
 he realizes there is nobody behind the wheel!!! 
 
Even though there's no one in the front seat and no sound of any engine, the 
car starts
moving slowly. The guy looks at the road ahead and sees a curve coming 
(remember, this is
in the hills and there is a steep, steep drop beyond the curve). Scared almost 
to death
he starts to pray, 
begging the Lord for his life. He hasn't come out of shock, when just before he 
hits the
curve, a hand appears through the window and moves the wheel! 
 
 The car makes the curve safely and continues on the road to the next bend. The 
guy, now
paralyzed in terror, watches how the hand appears every time they are before 
acurve and
moves the steering wheel just enough to get the car around each bend. Finally, 
the guy
sees lights ahead. Gathering his courage he wrenches open the door of the 
silent, slowly
moving car, scrambles out and runs as hard as he can towards the lights. 
 
 
 It's a small town. Wet and in shock goes to a roadside dhabba, which is open, 
and asks
for a drink. They find some hooch and give him a shot.  And he starts telling 
whoever is
in the dhabba about the horrible experience he's just been through. A silence 
envelops
everybody when they 
 realize  the  guy isn't drunk, and is really frightened - he's crying and 
shaking.  So
they give him more hooch and talk about what they should do, whether to call 
the police
or find a priest, or what. But .just then two guys "santa & banta" walk into 
the dhabba.
One says  to  the other "Look, Banta - that's the guy who got in our car when 
we  were
pushing it."



Warm Regards,
Shubhangi
