Kolkata: Sourabh Banerjee always believes that ‘good deeds never disappear’, and the pandemic only strengthens his faith in the old saying.
The employee’s 44-year department employee played a role in helping some neighbors, parents of his friends and even foreigners during the second wave.
He was worried when his entire family including Septuagenarian parents was tested positive last week, but even before he could reach anyone he was flooded with various people offering to help.
The second wave of pandemic last year brought a very large pain and suffering when people struggled to be hospitalized, get oxygen or struggle to cremate their loved ones.
But the time of testing also gave rise to a hero of ordinary individuals, who came to save people in trouble.
Some of the second wave heroes tested positively during the third wave have now been flooded with calls by friends, neighbors and even acquaintances.
“I just renewed on social media about my family who tested positive to remind those who had come into contact with us.
In a few hours, my cellphone continues to ring with so many people offering to help.
Some even send candy and fruits to the building We, “Banerjee said.
“As long as the second wave I have done what humans will do in such situations to help people get oxygen, hospitalized, vaccinated.
But the way people go forward to help me make me emotional,” he added.
Pratyusha Ghosh and her friends are part of a group in a new city that helps residents during the second wave.
Last weekend he was also tested positively with his family members.
“We are isolated as soon as we have symptoms.
I am worried about buying food and medicine but before I can reach the help of advanced people,” said the new town population.
The same is the story with Abhishek Saha, who works in Gurgaon and is in Kolkata during the second wave.
He has helped many people in his buyaghata environment.
This week his parents and domestic assistance were tested positively.
“Instead I ask about the condition of my parents, my neighbor is updating me every few hours.
I don’t know how to react to such an act of virtue,” Saha said.
