Yesterday, I went to Lajpat Nagar to collect some documents from TIME centre . The bus I aboarded to return back was overcrowded as there had been a time interval of nearly 1 hr since last bus to Faridabad came.
In the bus there was this old man sitting along with her wife at the seats infront meant for elderly persons. Next series of incidents that happened were truely unexpected. This elderly person extends forward his seat to a pregnant woman.
The most shocking thing was that though he himself looked incapable of standing for a long time and still he willingly gave up his seat to another needy person. This action stirred a few person with brains and next happened a revolution inside the bus."The seats once occupied were left vacant for all elderly persons and ladies.

It reminded me of what Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, that "Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind; and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era."
Till the time such persons continue to live in our society and keep us inspiring, there is not a scintilla of doubt that humanity would prevail and world will become a better place for us to live.

exemplary incident when happens in front of you gives you immense motivation to do good for others. Thanks puneet for sharing this memoir with us.
Ya whatever is now visible was a thought once ..its very much true ...The incident is indication that we still have some consciousness about the mannerism we had inherited. We just need a hint to do it.
Good post..
