Some four months back, I was returning to my office from egmore railway station. My office was very near to egmore railway station then. I took an auto, for it was just 20 rupees. it was hardly a 10mins drive. On my way back, the driver talked to me casually. He was talking about his earnings, his family, his kids and their aspirations. Well one of his kids would like to become a doctor while the other wants to travel abroad and earn handsomely....hmmm....good to dream!!!! I just enquired abt their age, they were just around 6 and 9 years old..Well such dreams with strong hold at that age must be nourished. I then enquired him what he does for living, well to my surprise, this fella doesn't have any bad habits!!! further more with a little water in his eyes,he said "i just want to fulfill their dream..."
Well, i was moved by his talk. On further discussions, i came to know he has recently become an LIC agent sine driving an auto alone, was not enough to run the family....As i was leaving his auto, he took my mobile number and requested me to take a LIC policy. Without hesitation, i gave him my number and told him that i will talk to him before the next weekend.....
I was already in the idea of taking a LIC policy. But till then i was looking for agents, who gave the commission they received when they finalize a policy. So i was contemplating whether to give this opportunity to this auto driver, who will no way give the commission, or someone else!!!!
I took almost two weeks before i decided to call this auto driver. I requested for a policy for some huge value. I went to his home on the day of signing the policy to check whether his narrations were in sync with his life!!!! Well as it turned out, i met those sweet kids. When asked about their aspirations, they voiced it with great pride....With no further thought i finished all proceedings and came back and never though about it once....
Today the auto driver called me up, thanked me for the high value policy i took few months back. The commission amount has been used for paying the kids school fee for the term. A sense of happiness engulfed me.....
Well I am happy today for, i was able to get the policy and also indirectly secure the education for at least two years.....
People who felt bored reading this and wanted to kill me...go ahead i am already insured!!!!!!!!!!
