Two separate posts on Facebook describe the inspiring security guards - Balinder Singh on the left and Sagar Ashokrao Bhagat on the right.
If finding some kind of Monday motivation has been your goal, this is where you park your search. We'd like to introduce you to two very inspiring security guards - one who uses the streetlight outside the ATM he guards to study, and another, an engineer by qualification, who reads books on Java programming while manning his post at the entrance of a housing complex.
Facebook users Harsh Vats and Sreejesh Krishnan from Haryana and Mumbai respectively narrate their experiences of meeting these two inspiring security guards in separate posts.
Harsh Vats bumped into 20-year-old Balinder Singh, reading a book under a street light, when he went to an ATM to withdraw cash before Raksha Bandhan.
Curious, he asked the security guard what he was reading. Turns out he was preparing for a set of upcoming entrance exams.
Harsh asked Balinder why he chose to sit under the street light and not inside the well-lit ATM, which also had air conditioning. The young guard informed him that the AC was turned off post-midnight, and that he didn't really mind sitting outside.
Very moved by the 20-year-old, Harsh posted on Facebook asking people to share study material to help the security guard further his dream. So far, his post has been shared by more than 10,000 people.
Like Balinder, Sagar Ashokrao Bhagat, a security guard at Woodland Heights in Mumbai's Chandivali, has huge aspirations.
In his post, Sreejesh Krishnan explains he met Sagar when he noticed him reading a book stealthily placed between the complex's vehicle entry register. It was a book on Java programing.
Sagar informed Sreejesh that he was in fact an engineer with a BE degree and was working as a security guard "to keep things going" while he looked for a suitable job.
An impressed Sreejesh also asked him for a resume. Many of those who've seen the post have requested Sagar's CV so as to help him a better job.
