Magic Chain of kindness!

--by hash, posted Nov 9, 2014

A year back, my friend and I had gone to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.

We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We wouldn't be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10pm when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.

I was so overwhelmed by their kindness, and I expressed my gratitude to them.

When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared rickshaw to get back to the spot we had parked our bike. On the way, a labourer stopped the auto. The driver saw his clothes asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.

The labourer shook his head and said, "No".

On hearing this, the driver refused to take him.

I remembered my own plight a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare.

What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! :) That night, I felt a lightness in my heart, and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. May this chain of kindness continue!
