On my way to Ambedkar Bhawan
inside University of Mumbai a Rickshaw Driver asked me if he could drop me. I
was already inside the University of Mumbai & Ambedkar Bhawan was just a 5 minutes
walk. I told the Rickshaw driver that I don’t wish to take your service. The
Rickshaw driver insisted me to sit & promised me that he wouldn’t charge. I
hesitantly took the ride as I didn’t feel like ignoring his proposal. While
dropping me he told that he won’t lose anything if he’ll drop someone for free
as he’s also going the same way. I felt as some people are so courteous, generous,
helpful & thoughtful to strangers, maybe I was lucky. Finally he dropped me
& moved on.
Although these incidents happen
many times at many places but someone whose profession’s demand is to get passengers
& to drop them to their destiny for earning money giving free service to a
stranger is very rare isn’t it? Also many times I’ve asked
Rickshaw drivers to drop me to a particular destination & although they’ve
to follow but they’ve declined.
