An autodriver's kind act :)

As I was thinking about my college days, some of the most energetic and wonderful days of my life, I suddenly remembered an incident that had happened to me, when i was in my twelfth standard . Actually , this incident happened when I was attending my coaching classes (How can anyone forget those weekly tests, marks on the notice board , Mom asking for your marks ,as well as your classmates marks )

I would go to college by bus. As i had to change two buses, i had a bus pass with me , which i used to carry everyday. That evening, after my usual college, i went to attend my coaching class, which was almost 45 min travel from college and even longer from home. I took my seat and was waiting for the lecturer . As soon as he entered, he smiled and said "surprise test" and i think my heart skipped a beat. After an hour, I started feeling pale (the usual cramps, dizziness), took permission and went out. I was so weak that i did not have the stamina to wait for the bus and i knew i had only Rs.17 with me

As a seventeen year old, i did not think much, just called an auto and told him to take me to the bus stop from where i can take one direct bus home.The whole time ,my eyes were on the auto meter. Before I could reach the stop, it came close to Rs.17 and i asked the auto driver to stop . When i said, I have only this much and I will walk to the bus stop. To my surprise, he said " I can make out that you are not well and I cannot leave you here. I will drop you at the bus stop and you can pay me whatever you have ". I was so moved by his kindness.

A busy street, broad daylight and the bus stop nearby, I knew he was being sincere.

I don't remember the man's face but still remember his words and his kind act. I thank him through this post.

Has anyone experienced something like this from a complete stranger? Please do share :)
