Unforgettable Kindness in a Train

--by bhupiindore, posted Nov 13, 2015

A few years ago my mother and I were traveling in a train in India. We were going to Aligarh from Delhi. We were both sitting on our berth when the ticket Collector came and started checking the tickets. A boy nearby about 25 or 26 years old was sitting in the seat next to us. The ticket Collector asked him for his ticket. He had the ticket but it was for the day before and not for the current date. The ticket Collector fined him for 1000 Rupees, and made a new ticket for him. He only had 800 Rupees. My mother offered to pay the remaining 200 Rupees so the boy could get his ticket. I thought that was a great act of kindness by my mother for a person she did not know.
