While there is no doubting Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu's avowed intention of revamping and rejuvenating the beleaguered and beleaboured Indian Railways; some of us seem hell bent upon making a mockery of his well meaning and well intentioned initiatives in the right direction........
Yes Mr. Prabhu has certainly acquired a halo and legions of followers from the promptness and alacrity displayed by him and his fellow Railway Board Officials in responding to every genuine grouse and irritant; this request from a particularly irksome and callous parent came in for it's fair share of scathing criticism; mockery and derision from all and sundry.......
One particular gentleman who responds to the his ordained name of Prabhakar. S. Jha received more than his fair share of brickbats; barbs and pointed innuendos when he took to his twitter handle and sent Suresh Prabhu to provide diapers for his one year old daughter post haste as he had forgotten the same essential in his haste to reach the said station on time and board his designated train.......
To his credit; a concerned Mr. Prabhu promptly responded to the plaintive and rather presumptuous distress call by asking Jha to provide him with the much needed details of his PNR number and other journey related details so that the much required commodity could be made available to him as soon as possible but the same entreaty got the goat of fellow twitteratis as soon as the same went public within a matter of minutes........
Fellow twitteratis lambasted Jha and even went to the extent of branding him a moron; imbecile; priceless idiot; callous and careless father; and last but not the least grubby and malicious gent hell bent upon misusing and distorting a privilege bestowed upon him by a concerned and conscientious railway minister.......
But I for one beg to differ as the smell of baby poop permeating the already claustrophobic confines of the AC two tier Coach in which the Jha family was travelling would have certainly proved to be more of an irritant and eyesore during the course of the thirty odd hour journey rather than the much sought after diapers that Mr. Prabhu and his gallant team were more than sportingly willing to provide........
Wither humanity and sense of service; well I will let each and every one of you take a call on that one........
