The lady in the bus
Many years ago, when I was working, our office was a few kilometres away from the nearest bus stop. The frequency of the bus was not very good, only once in half an hour. I had to take a short distance rickshaw to the bus stop.
I was always in a rush to reach home, I had nice internet connection at home and in office we only had email access. That day, the bus was a little early and I tried to get off the rickshaw as soon as possible as the bus was approaching the bus stop. I did not realise that the rickshaw was still moving, and I fell on the ground and hurt myself.
Seeing this "accident", the bus driver was kind enough to wait for some time, till I gathered myself and boarded the bus. I had hurt my self quite badly, and seeing this a lady in the bus, removed bandages from her bag and gave them to me. I was touched by this gesture.
Many times your so called "friends" will either ignore you or say that they are busy, if they think you are not doing well. It is these random acts of kindness that light up your life.
