In the age of smartphones and the internet, the world has become more connected than it was ever before where people can witness events take place in realtime and appreciate the beauty of it. Recently, a video went viral on social media where Mizoram residents travelling from Bangalore to their state amid lockdown were seen giving away their food to the Assam flood victims camping along the railway tracks. The heart-warming video has become an example of true human nature and is deservedly being hailed when the country is in the midst of fighting the novel coronavirus.
Heart-warming gesture
In the video, one can see people throwing out eatables from the running train while people along the railway track scrambling to collect it. Mizoram chief minister Zoramthanga took to his official Twitter handle to share the video and captioned it with a popular verse from the Bible, "Owe no man anything, but to love one another." Mr. Thanga supposedly received the viral video on WhatsApp saying that it just made his day. The post has garnered more than 22,000 views and over 1,600 likes since it was shared on May 28.
Netizens are loving the video as much as Mr. Thanga did and are flooding his timeline with praises and appreciation. A user named Kam Ngaihte wrote, "A small act of love, a great example of living in a troubled world!" Another user commented, "This is why we love Mizoram... Generosity never goes down, whether it is of religion or of castes, humanity is appreciated."
