An act of kindness could often be found in the most unexpected places, and a man’s recent experience in Ahmedabad has beautifully illustrated it. Amid the continuous heavy rains that caused widespread flooding across Gujarat, a Redditor found himself stranded and was helped by the goodwill of strangers. In his post, the Redditor recounted how his scooter broke down after water entered the vehicle’s filter, leaving him stuck on the road. Despite the challenges, he encountered several kind-hearted individuals who came to his aid, including one who pushed his scooter with his leg while riding on his bike.
Today was quite a day. I got stuck several times while riding my Activa because water entered the filter, and I couldn’t start the engine. At different points, several people stopped to help. One guy even pushed my Activa with his leg while riding his own bike!” he wrote on Reddit.
The user further detailed how his scooter repeatedly stalled, but each time strangers stepped in to help. Eventually, his vehicle broke down at a mechanic’s shop. Needing to travel to his home which was located at a distance of just 300 metres, he found an auto-rickshaw. Despite the challenging weather, the auto driver only asked for a fare of Rs 30. “It broke down again right near a mechanic shop (lucky break). I found an auto to take me home. It was just 300 meters, and the auto guy only asked for ₹30. I gave him a bit extra and thanked him,” he said.
In conclusion, the Redditor expressed his deep gratitude for the support he received. “Having lived in Bengaluru for 5 years, I can say the auto guys there would’ve asked for ₹200 with a straight face. Feeling really grateful today,” he noted.
