Life is an experience and we learn and unlearn everyday.We come across various people in our day to day life and some of the experiences are so satisfying and fulfilling.It is to catalogue such happenings that I thought of this idea.I am sure every one will have similiar experiences.
Here is a simple but very memorable experience I had six months ago.
I was at the Bangalore City Railway Station at 5.30 am on that day.I was in the Que for buying a platform ticket at the vending Machine.We have to insert coins valued Rs 3 to get a ticket.There were ten people before me and an elderly and decent looking pious gentleman was having problems with changes when he approached the machine.He was looking around for help but no one seemed to help and seemed tense.I ventured and gave him the required coins.He got his job done and jocularly remarked that he has started the day with begging!!!
I finished my job and found him still waiting to talk to me.He still could not manage to get change and was looking for me.He said sorry and said he has only a 10 Rs note.I told him "do not bother", feel relaxed and If you still want to remove the tag of a beggar you can pass on the ten rupee note to me and return home as a philanthropist.He laughed heartily loudly,embraced me and went home.
I really enjoyed the incident and the man whoever he is ,got endeared
to me by his simplicity, honesty and sincerity.I felt very relaxed and
happy after the incident.I may not meet that person again but his image and the incident lingers on even today when I go to the railway station
