Bengali workers
This is the story of two Bengali men who saved me and my family from living a nightmare.
It stated one early morning last week. My wife, I and our 2 month old daughter were leaving our compound to go to Al-Gharrafa Health Centre in order to get our little princess vaccinated. What I didn't realise is that, when I was putting my daughter in her car seat, I did something I never do, I put my folder and my wallet on top of the car roof. In the folder there was every single paper, documents, all our passports, birth certificates, basically any odd bit of paper was in there. Our whole lives. In the wallet 400QR and credits cars.
I started the car, my wife got in and off we went, only to realise what I'd done when i reached the Health Centre.
I drove back the way we came and back a few times but no folder or waller to be seen.
I gave up after 2 hours and decided to go to the Police, they asked me to wait a couple of days and maybe it will show up at a police station. I went back home, having lost all hope that anything would be recovered and started thinking about the dreadful scenario of trying to replace everything. The time it would take, and the fact that we wouldn't be able to do anything, no vaccinations, no travelling, nothing.
On my way back home, wife calls me and says someone miss called her, when she called back it she couldn’t understand the person on the other end, I noted the number called him from the Car. It was a Bengali guy he explained in broken Arabic that he and his colleague had found a wallet and a folder near AlGharrafa stadium roundabout, they went through all the papers and found my wife's number on a form. I arranged to meet them in Al-Rayan and they gave me the folder and wallet with all their original contents.
I thanked them and I gave them 100 QR each, which they refused, I insisted and asked them both to save my number, I saved theirs.
I just wanted to share this story about two Bengali workers who prove that there are still people with honesty and integrity regardless of Race or Religion. These two men were your average low salary workers.
Ramadan Karim.
God bless the 2 bangladeshi?..oh..no, ocean565 for what is that
Salax85...........Do not be so narrow minded you idiot.
lol
I cannot believe this is still going on!
Salam
lol
londonalgiers,
BTW londonalgiers, can you please share what opinion you had about Bengalis' before you came across these 2 bengali workers?
U havnt answered the question and very smartly tried to change the topic draging salax85's post in between which is not at all racist..Please..that was childish..
U kno wat londonalgiers, instead of doing all this, u could have just justified what u meant and appologized if people thought u were racist.. y go arguing and fighting about the whole thing.. Its Ramadan..for gods sake..
londonalgiers,
hey common ,,now accept the fact that u failed to phrase the sentence apart from being a very nice person,, so why be so stubborn,,, QL still has the option of editing postes,,,if u know how to do that then u dont have to argue anymore,,,
and.. why care about what salax85 posted ,,will that change your poste for justification and make it even on levels of racial discriminations,,,?
ok peace to all of u in this forum ,,,apologize for being rude/misunderstanding/fool to all or anyone hear.
peace.
GOd Bless the 2 Bangladeshis.
There are also "high salaried" honest people, and sleazy financially- poor individuals. Financial status is irrelevant, I believe.
I've seen very generous financially-mediocre people, and stingy misers who live in summer mansions.
Salam
You can always meet poor people with noble kindness and honesty. This is why like mingling with them more than those high salaried hypocrites.
salax what about your post http://www.qatarliving.com/node/646840 about a brit girl saving a srilankan girl? is that racist too?
BTW londonalgiers, can you please share what opinion you had about Bengalis' before you came across these 2 bengali workers?
.
yea ,, ur point is clear indeed, majority here agreed with u just because u got back ur purse ,, they felt sorry for u and it's the month of peace,, it's Ramadan ,, so majority again has forgiven u in their prayers,, Hamdullilah. sad are those who met nice ppl on planet earth finally after 30 yrs I guess and published it here and th news. lol .
btw I like your Image ,fact that u being a pussy in the whole picture,, suits u and ur story
Thanx for sharing ur thoughts .
Ramadhan Kareem .
peace
so cute.....
:)
good work
220V and salax, think what you want. my point is very clear and the vast majority of the forum users who replied got the point. I think you are both sad and probably have been victimised, i feel sorry for you, bless you.
yea ...it my habbit toread alittle too much. i open my eyes and read with common sense..i dont have to take the effort of openning mind...or maybe ur mind is open way too much that ur thoughts are lost between u and the "omg the BENGALIS" lol. i know u have pointed out carefully where they were from...so that others also gain some info abt that race.okay fine they were nice ppl..or did u meet nice ppl the first tym...so u had to write abt it...oohhh so now u got emotionall ,,ha?if u wer then do care abt sensitive people if u r 1.i also wish the 2 gentlemen a warming and blessing ramadan...may god bless you 2 and inshallah be forever.
and i dont have to be carefull because my opinion is not ur business...
peace.
it ain't about hype or race. geeezzz
the thread doesn't need an argument.
just a smile and a prayer for those two BENGALIS...
"I just wanted to share this story about two Bengali workers who prove that there are still people with honesty and integrity regardless of Race or Religion"
two bengali workers proved it to u atlast...yeaaaaa..
wat if u came across 2 bengalis in the future who cheats u...????
wat will they prove... ??? their race..?????(again)
There is no slightest bit of racism in your post. Along with many others here, I see your post as quite sincere. Appreciated.
Salam
220v, you are reading too much into this. There is not nothing racial about my thread, if you read what I wrote again with an open mind you will realise that it is nothing to do with race, I actually point that out in my thread. I do not care about sensitive people when i write my story, the two gentleman who helped me have a better ramadan were BENGALIS and that is a fact nothing more nothing else. So be careful before you start pointing and calling people racist.
oww,, they were bengali's ha?? who found and returned the wallet,, it's funny that the topics had "Bengali" in it,, why not workers, labours, strangers,some guys,, no offense to the forum creater,, it just negetively ipmacts an image like ,, "Bengalis did that" and the other frogs n the well here go like "omg ,, they were bengalis,, " so is it unusual,,?
the point here is ,, every country and corner of the world has gud/bad /rich /poor/greedy/wise/needy/established ppl. it's the people's nature to discuss ,, not abt "bengalis" as if they came from another planet.
so now after the publicity ppl will think like" ow there are still honest Bengali ppl"
this forum is nothing but racial.
so now everyone here finally has 1 reason to trust Bengalis ha?
lol,,
the search is over....

It's a shame that this is news, or even a 'story' at all.
The fact that everyone sees THIS as unusual, and not normal expected behaviour, shows just how low modern society has sunk :-(
excellent work by them..
Allah must have rewarded them already for their good deed
Hello friends
May Allah always shower His Mercy for all those people who are honest and noble to help others, these kind of people are not looking for financial rewards as u mentioned,

So judgemental some folks out here are. Londonalgiers thanks for posting this. There are good people around- regardless of their nation, relegion, colour- whatever.
You just decide the day and the chorba and bourek are yours
happy2.
I do admire your spirit. Every word you said in your last post is true.
In my situation he wouldn't accept any reward, although he had trouble changing my car tire, I think he wasn’t very used to doing it, but just wanted to help out. Him and I didn't exchange any words, we spoke different languages.
Salam
londonalgiers, where is my chorba!
doesnt' have any face, he just has ass.
lol
What a dirty mind you have yaar !!! See yourself in the mirror first then comment about other. Change your mind. Try to learn from good things & avoid bad things. May Allah bless you in this Holy Ramadan.
may God bless you and your family. you are truely a nice man. Ramadan Kareem.
there are a lot of people like mptasi, true, but there are people like you also, thanks God.
my intention was to highlight the fact that it doesn't matter what color or religion you are or even, and it's a fact in this example, what social status you have.
I have been contacted by a Qatari Newspaper journalist to which I will give my details and the details on the two men. If the story is published than maybe you will beleive it and start having some faith in other humans.
thanks for everyones comments.
Just to rectify something, after i insisted they accepted the cash reward and my wife and I will invite them this ramadhan for an Algerian Iftar.
bugger off man ! (if you are a man, at all !)
i dont think bengali are this much honest . may be the story is imaginated to prove bengali as honest.
I salute this two guys. I hope it rubs off to all of us.
May Allah help them through out the life and other should also get lesson from it. Hats off to Bengali Heros.
Live and let live...
i see. thanks.
it's a bengali word.

Thumbs up for them I had similar situation once, even I was lucky like you. The guy who found my wallet(Wallet including Cash and Cards) returned me after 2 days.

malpaso - yes we have wallets and we have cars also. why are you surprised?
There still are good people left in the world. God bless those Bengali guys. I lost my wallet before at Villagio Parking Area also but these washing guys came and give it back to me when i came back to the car. I gave something to the one who found it just for thanking him that he saved me from all the trouble of having to replace everything again and i think its a good thing that he took what i gave also at least he gave me back my wallet.
before he tak action on me.
so, this is how the bangladeshis are?
well well !
i must complain to moderators...
Himu, there is a difference between stolen and been found on the streets.

HE WHO DARES WINS
Good to hear a good story.
My wife's wallet stolen in Villagio Carrefour was never found, I guess it was stolen that's why?

HE WHO DARES WINS

Just QR100? Bring them out for lunch and the rememberance will last forever.
They're great...God bless them!
The Majority of Heavens dwellers are the meek & poor, it appears it's not just because of the hand they were dealt on Earth, but also due to the integrity it affords some of them to have.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story- you should put it in the newspapers too.
They showed what is really called "culture" when they refused the money you offered them.
This is the true Ramadan spirit.
AP
for sharing.
Wonderful Ramadan story, thank you!
Mandi
I've been through a similar situation. The noble man changed my car tire, he completely refused my trying to help him out (he was a very senior with henna-died beard and a turban). After he was done, I reached out with a small token of appreciation, he smiled and waved bye and quickly walked away.
Salam
Thanks for publicizing this. And God bless these men.
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
Excellent. May the Lord Bless them for their deed.
Shows that there actually are some good Bengalis out there!

sad that those laborers who really need the money can refuse a reward for their good deeds while those who are financially stable keeps on exploiting them with their salaries
Poor and sincere not greedy. They are so happy in their own world.
Wow!
