Months back I had updated a status titled, "Humanity lost: Lady's seat...", in which I described an incident where a husband forced a very weak old man, who was occupying a lady's seat to leave his seat to his wife... Probably some of my friends still remember it...
Now let me describe you another experience...
That day I was once again coming from Bhangagarh to Khanapara, Guwahati in a city bus after finishing my duty at GMCH.. Actually I had to come to my hometown Morigaon... Ok, the city bus was not at all crowded... I was in the last row of seats and leaving aside some of the lady's seats, all other seats were occupied... In the next stoppage one old man got into the bus and he directly stood in front of me... He could have taken a vacant seat meant for the ladies, but he was just reluctant to do so.. May be he already had some bitter experiences... Ok, in the next stoppage the seats were filled up and the bus became somewhat crowded...
I said to the old man, "Uncle, you may sit here!" and left my seat...
Next came the problem... My bag was somewhat heavy and I faced trouble in the crowded bus to manage it...
I politely asked that old man, "Uncle, can you kindly hold my bag for sometime on your lap?"
You see... He was sitting in the seat which I was actually occupying, but he flatly denied to hold my bag even for a moment saying, "I am sorry, but I don't know what is in your bag..!!!"
Before I could think about anything, the young boy next to him gladly took my bag with a bright smile and thus he saved me from the feeling of embarrassment...
Somebody rightly said... Most of times the very aged people once again become a child... No means no, and yes means absolutely yes... :-):-):-)
Till now I have learnt countless things from my juniors... From this incident I once again learnt this very important thing in life... You know, age is never a hinder... Even a younger can make us learn a lot simply by his/her action... This young boy, whom I even didn't notice made my moment...
Mark Caine said that any man to whom you can do a favor is your friend, and that you can do a favor to almost anyone..... And I strongly believe that.... Anyway we all need each other.....
