Heartwarming story from Jammu — Entrepreneur and social activist Ruchi Chouhan Khan praises auto driver Kishore Manyal of Chowadi for his remarkable honesty
By Diplomat Digital
Jammu, DD, In an age where materialism often overshadows morals, a simple yet profound act of honesty from Jammu has touched countless hearts. Entrepreneur and social activist Ruchi Chouhan Khan lost her mobile phone in an unfortunate accident — but thanks to an honest auto driver, Kishore Manyal, she not only got it back but also regained her faith in the goodness that still exists in society.
Earlier today, Ruchi Chouhan Khan was tending to her plants, a passion she proudly calls her “daily therapy.” In a moment of carelessness, she placed her phone on the bonnet of her car and got busy watering her plants. Her daughter, needing to go to the market, drove off unaware that the phone was still resting on the bonnet. A few minutes later, the phone slipped off and fell somewhere along the road.
When Ruchi realized her phone was missing, panic set in. She immediately called her number, hoping someone would answer — and to her relief, an unknown voice picked up. On the other end was Kishore Manyal, an auto driver from Chowadi, who calmly informed her that he had found the phone lying on the road and wished to return it.
His selfless honesty left Ruchi deeply moved. “In a time when people think twice before doing the right thing, Kishore’s action felt like a breath of fresh air,” she said emotionally. She met him, thanked him personally, and rewarded him for his integrity — though, as she put it, “the real reward is his honesty and pure heart.”
Kishore’s act may seem small, but its moral weight is immense. It serves as a powerful reminder that goodness still lives among ordinary people.
Closing Line:
Sharing the experience on social media, Ruchi Chouhan Khan wrote,
“This honest auto driver didn’t just return my phone — he restored my faith in humanity.”
In a world often clouded by selfishness, people like Kishore Manyal shine as quiet heroes, reminding us that honesty still has a heartbeat.
