Ratibai says, “When I reached Rajasthan, I was neither able to understand the language nor my mind was working. I had taken only 250 rupees from home. That too had finished. So I remained hungry. Then I met a gentleman. He helped me. He made a video of me and made it viral. It was only because of him that I was able to come home. First I narrowly escaped drowning in the Ganga. Then I lost my way, but my Bholenath did not let anything happen to me. Now I will not go anywhere alone.”

When her hand slipped from the chain she got swept away in the river

When Ratibhai reached home, she became happy seeing the family.

100-year-old Ratibai lived in Sarai Mohalla of Kotwali police station area. She says, “I was angry with my family members. That is why I wanted to go to Haridwar alone. On Thursday, I put two sarees in a bag and took 250 rupees. I left saying that I was going to the temple and boarded a train and reached Haridwar. On the first day, I took a dip in the Ganga river and visited the temple.

The next day when I went to take a bath in the river, I lost hold of the chain and was swept away. Then the divers saved me. My bag and all my belongings were swept away. I was very scared. I reached the station to come home. I asked for a train going to Delhi and on the advice of people, I boarded a train. Later, I came to know that the train does not go to Delhi. By then, I had reached Rajasthan. I did not have money to eat. I did not eat anything of anyone.”

The gentleman I met at Loharu station

Many people had reached Jhansi station with Ratibai.

Ratibai says that I boarded the train going to Delhi from Loharu station. My mind was not working. I was not able to understand anything. Seeing me crying, Anuj Gupta of Noida came. I was not able to remember anything. I only knew that I was from Jhansi. I told only this much to Anuj Gupta. He took me to Delhi station.

I made a video there. After that, I was booked a ticket in Karnataka Express. I was made to sit in AC-2 coach and I told the TTE. When the train reached Jhansi at 2 am on Monday, my son and other family members met me at the station. I started crying after seeing them. Earlier, it seemed that I would not be able to return home. But my Bholenath brought me home. Now I will not go alone.

Grandma became famous through this video

Anuj Gupta brought Ratibai to Delhi. Booked a ticket and made her sit in the train and made a video and posted it. After watching this video, the family took her to Jhansi station.

Anuj took Ratibai with him to Delhi. He made a 1.01 minute video at the station. In this, Anuj is saying, “I was returning from Salasar Dham on 21st July. I met a grandmother at Loharu station. She had forgotten her home. She only knows that she is from Jhansi. I brought her to Delhi and made her sit in Karnataka Express. It will reach Jhansi at 2 am. Spread the video as much as possible so that it reaches Jhansi and the family takes her away.”

The video was also tweeted to the railways. The railways became active on this. The railways sent the video to social media groups and organizations in Jhansi. Then the video went viral and reached the family members and they reached the station to pick up Ratibai. After the video, she became famous and many people are reaching to meet her.

Ramesh says that mother Ratibai is almost 100 years old. She has been religious since the beginning. Even now she goes to the temple daily. She has gone to Haridwar alone like this earlier also.
