“She came to exchange jewellery. She left a piece of her heart behind.”
When Huzan visited Purva to swap some jewellery, it seemed like a regular exchange. But that meeting blossomed into something far deeper. They sat together, spoke about life, and Huzan instantly formed a bond with Purva’s 9-year-old daughter — a connection so natural, it felt like they’d known each other forever.
A few days later, tragedy struck — Purva’s daughter, who suffers from a congenital condition causing low blood sugar, had a seizure. Tired, frightened, and unable to step out even for dinner, Purva messaged Huzan almost absent-mindedly, saying she wished she had a warm home-cooked meal.
What happened next was nothing short of soul-stirring.
At 5:30 PM that same day, Huzan appeared at her doorstep, carrying steaming hot Palak Paneer and Methi Parathas. Not only that — she brought bananas from the store, because Purva couldn’t go out to get them herself.
“She is my guardian angel,” Purva says, “We met through a simple Swap. But what we shared was so much more. Gratitude is too small a word.”
This wasn’t just a story about giving or getting. It was about becoming. Becoming a community. Becoming a support system. Becoming human again — in a world that often forgets to be.
