A few days back, a guy walking accidentally bumped into my stationary car. He was lost and asked for the bus stop. I guided him, only later to find him stuck again. Feeling sorry, I offered him a lift.
When asked where he was coming from, he said, “I work in an office on a computer. I do a lot of typing.” He continued, as his tone rose with pride, “My wife is a lawyer in the civil court here; she’s a government employee.”
I dropped him at the designated bus stop, only to be thanked an umpteen number of times. We tried to look at our hands to greet a goodbye but could not.
He was visually impaired.
But his vision and excitement for life humbled me to the core.
He made me feel better and probably makes many others feel the same way.
He taught me by letting us be human for a while—a need of the hour for the impaired society we live in.
