By this time you might have been convinced well
that goodwill, brotherly feeling and humanity has vanished from this earth
seeing the wrathful incidents of man being an enemy of man and destroying lives
like reaping off the crops. But in reality, humanity still persists and you can
find a glimpse of that right in our very own north east India, in the state of
Mizoram. This is, indeed, a very rare instance and is doubtful whether it is practiced
in any other corner of the world or not, but the capital city of Mizoram,
Aizawl has a shop where you can see the best example of trust. It is a tale of
trust between a seller and a buyer where the former so not know who the latter
will be, but still have a great faith and trust on the latter that he will pay
for the good he has picked up from this open stall.
An open stall of vegetables comprising of home
grown fresh vegetables, fruits and the occasional bottle of fruit juice, small
dried fish, freshwater snails etc., that is what you can seen in this irregular
and unusual shop made of small cardboard sheets erected or hung on one of the
bamboo beams. Some other things to be found in the stall are the prices of the
goods written in a barely visible handwriting on a piece of charcoal and then a
plastic transparent bottle hanging along for the buyers to drop the money in
exchange of the goods they have picked from the stall.
You can pay the money by dropping it on the
money box or may skip also; there is nobody to keep an eye on you. The shopkeeper
is letting you pick anything you want and pay on your will solely on the basis
of trust and this is truly amazing. Can so pure humanity still exist somewhere
in the world where one is selling goods but is not expecting that he would get
the money that he deserves to get for the things sold.
The sellers of these vegetable and other fresh natural
things are mostly rural villagers who work hard in growing and picking the
vegetables and fruits from the forests and then put it on open stalls. This reflects
the pure heart and honesty of these people and their great trust on people.
Such a villager, mentioning their customers, said,
“People are good. Nothing has ever been lost from our shop.”
