A soulful Conversation of Kindness and Selfless Service

[Nityam Ghosh]

During a recent SALT session in the Nichhe Line area of Bhatpara Tea Garden, a deeply inspiring conversation took place with a 38-year-old community member, Ramdhani Lohara Ji. His thoughts and attitude reflected a beautiful sense of positivity and moral strength.

While sharing his “proud story,” Ramdhani Ji spoke about an act of kindness that truly reflects his selfless nature. He mentioned that he is always ready to help others whenever someone seeks his support. On one such occasion, he gave away all his savings to help a neighbor in need, without expecting anything in return. His compassion and selflessness shine through this gesture, showing his genuine empathy and commitment to the well-being of others.

From this story, several powerful strengths emerge. First is Ramdhani Ji’s kindness and spirit of selfless service, which remind us that true generosity comes from pure intention. Second is his strong sense of community — his belief in collective support and unity. He does not think only about himself but about the welfare of everyone around him.

As a SALT facilitator, this interaction became a meaningful moment to learn from him — lessons about empathy, kindness, and the real value of community collaboration. According to Ramdhani Ji, the people in his area live peacefully and cooperate with one another. He shared his thoughts openly and comfortably during the conversation, although it took him a little time to recall his proud story since it was his first experience of such reflective dialogue.

The discussion with Ramdhani Ji beautifully reflected how even simple acts of care can strengthen the spirit of a community. His example reminds us that true strength lies in helping others without expectation — a lesson the whole community can take inspiration from.
