It kept getting
hotter and standing in the bus shelter, which had a roof equivalent to not
having one as there were thousands of holes in it, became more exhausting for
her. She had been waiting there for a while now but neither buses nor taxis
approached her. She was terribly hungry as she had skipped the breakfast and
moreover she had a hectic morning. She was frustrated by the poor state of
transportation in the country and the fact that she was hungry, only made the
situation worse. Suddenly some noise caught her attention. She looked to her
left and found few of the families living by the road side being given meal
packets by a bunch of youngsters. It was a pleasant and gratifying view. She
watched them for a while. A smile appeared on her face. She forgot about her
hunger and bus in that moment. And the next thing she realized was that there
was a bus, an archaic property of the corporation, honking loudly and
unnecessarily. She boarded the bus while continuing to appreciate the act of
compassion witnessed with a smile on her face.
Very Nice Dincy!!
