Imtiaz Khalifa is surprised and amused at the attention he is receiving of late. “I wondered why total strangers are calling me up and complimenting me. I cannot understand what is so great about what I have done. Anyone in my place would perhaps have done the same,” he tells Outlook. That’s the creed of self-effacing people who help; it comes so naturally to them. Imtiaz, a garment shop owner in Rajgangpur, a town in western Odisha, has waived the rent of his five tenants till the lockdown lasts. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, who has appealed to landlords to be considerate to their tenants, was so impressed that he tweeted a story on it published in an English daily while complimenting him for his generosity.
