Stranger Help !

-
In the middle of hustling bustling traffic, my car broke down.
Not only did the cop not create a scene, he pushed it to a bylane, with the help of few strangers..
The surprises the day threw up didn't end there...
4 - 5 drivers waiting around helped restart the car when I  opened the bonnet to look for the possible fault... and finally an inquisitive student just came by, and literally plugged the problem...

 Don't have enough words to thank them all... Didn't know any of them, but am sure to remember how they helped me yesterday ! 

 So the next time I am on the road, and I find someone in need of some help, I'll stop for sure...
Because I am a firm believer....
What goes around, comes around..

    I like this post! A lot of helping people around too... a woman helps another poor woman in bus by paying her fare, a young girl gives up her 'reserved' seat for a slightly old but not senior citizen and a whole list of small good things happening around amidst an environment of negative being highlighted too much...

      True... we seem to take a very cynical view of life sometimes....

    Good for you.

    What I have noticed is that even if we are not able to help someone, being with them for some time in such a situation, encouraging them, lending your phone to them and trying to arrange help goes a long way. For both the stranger in a problem, and for your mood for 2-3 days to come.

    But no matter what, one must ensure that they themselves are safe. I can't define what I mean by safe. It is one's own judgement. My dad had a close shave with a road thugs that pretended to be school teachers somewhere between Ludhiana and Morinda in Punjab once.

      True... but it always feels good to give a helping hand... especially to strangers...

After a long long time, I'll be doing something I've really wanted to do...  Did I have to make some alternate settlements... maybe... Will it live up to the hype of it all... can't say... Was it worth a try.. only time will tell... But there is something very clear in my mind... I am glad I'm trying it out.. Because clearly, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time now...

Charades we play

The whole world seems to be preparing for the G20 summit. From US to China, they are all harping about what Modi is planning to do, or atleast that's what our media wants us to believe.. Anyway, the best by product of hosting the G20 is the sprucing up of the city that is being done. Suddenly the MCD cleaners are sweeping all the visible scraps of plastic on the road (something they should've always done but never did), all dividers and flyovers are being painted, all signages are up and erect, all street lights are functioning... the list is endless... and it is amazing how perfect we wish to be when we have visitors, yet how shabby the original condition still is..  But the biggest realization is how nice and functional every civic amenity would be, if they all did their job properly !  So the next time you clean up your house when you have visitors, don't feel bad... that's what even countries do :) :D

An Apology

A lot of us believe that we should apologize for the wrong we've done...True.. But I've observed that a Sorry seems to be an easy shortcut... Uttering the one simple word seems to wash away the wrong-doing... We might not even pay as much attention, when we just utter the sorry...  And obviously now, thou shall be forgiven !!!
