Kid who found her parents

• Was at Chennai Trade Center.
• Found a kid crying.
• when asked she said “my parents got lost”.
• First cooled her down and told her that we will find her parents.
• Then asked her if she knew her parents mobile number.
• She shook her head and told mom’s number.
• Called them up and told the location to come.
• Kid was still crying. Was generating a conversation with the kid to kool her.
• She was studying in first standard, has got 10 friends. Her best friends name is priyanka.  She likes ice cream more than chocolate ( Name and school not shared for privacy)
• Then parents came, got their kid, thanked me and escaped quietly.
• Felt a tiny parent taking care of the kid.
• I am already a “Kool Uncle” in the words of few kids. While most uncles can only buy Robots, I can make Robots for the kids
• Just when i was thinking abt these,  I heard another  announcement. ”2year old kid missing. Red color dress.  If found bring him to announcement desk” .. #EKSI

PS: Please ask every parent you know to get their kid memorize their mobile number. Drop visiting card into kid’s pocket.
