"I woke up joyfully and actively in the morning to start my day. I dressed up with a Red Shirt and a Khaki Short, wearing my badge on the right hand biceps. I prayed to the God before my work and listed my wishes in-front of Him.
It is a 3 km drive from my home to the destination, I parked my vehicle and waved the people who encountered on my way. I like to greet the people with a smile.
I am a railway coolie at Vysarpadi Station. I am standing on the platform No.1 and near to exit gate of the station. I have been eagerly waiting for a call, but none of the them had called me. I see a mixture of age groups who have been walking towards me with a trolley. A few of them, have been carrying luggage more than their weight, with both the hands and dragging towards me, I couldn't take my eyes from bags.
I have asked few of them, but so many has denied to take help of this coolie. I have been staring at the each bag that crossing me without help of mine. When all the travelers crossed me, a drop of tear turned down from my eyes. I have been cursing Him, for not fulfilling my wishes, but at the end I have been praying again to show me the way. I don't know any work other than this."
I have been observing the railway coolie from the window by sitting inside the train, I see wet eyes, for his urge to help the people in luggage. I observe where his under work has been soon vanishing as the style of luggage we are using has been changed from hand suitcases to trolley, the pavements have been made flat, lifts are rolling up and down at the corner and there are ease to drag the luggage by the pulley.
Even I wonder why in some railway stations there will be an escalator to go up but not the down(I go by train from Tamabaram, where there is an escalator to go up but not the down), then I thought myself, may be the government have foresee that the railway coolie should be live up their job. The ease of work innovations will put so many jobs at stake, and not all the innovations will help everybody.
