A few months ago, India declared de-monetization of its currency. For that period of time, it was very difficult to get cash from the ATM machines. All citizens were encouraged to use their Debit/Credit cards, Internet banking, and Online wallets for all daily transactions. This is where my story starts.
I was going to my office and stopped at a Petrol station to get petrol for my motorbike. I saw a person who was very anxious. When I took interest in his story he told me that he had filled his bike with petrol worth 200 bucks and then found out that his card was not operating (Maybe due to network or card issues ).
Immediately I moved forward and asked him to take the cash from me instead of feeling so anxious. He kindly agreed and accepted the cash.
I felt peaceful after seeing him relax. Later he returned my money on paytm and we are still in touch, sharing good wishes towards each other during festival times.
Even though this act is not that big or great, it always encourages me to do more... and join so many others, in doing what we can to make this a better world

With ripple effects you never know how big your kindness is. Thanks for sharing inspiring story. I will be visiting india in a month.
