We often fail to understand the true essence of helpfulness and simplicity in today’s world. Due to our daily experiences, we sometimes do not believe that people can be heartwarming and kind to us without benefitting from their sweet gestures. Well, a speech-impaired cab driver driving in the streets of Bengaluru proved us wrong and showed that kindness still exists among us and within us.
Bengaluru Man Shared About This Speech-Impaired Cab Driver’s Kind Gesture
X user Sivasubramaniam Jayaraman (@JsivaUrbantranz) lauded Rakesh for his generosity.
We grew up hearing, “A little kindness goes a long way,” but we have come across only a few instances in life where we truly understood its meaning. This story of a speech-impaired cab driver in Bengaluru depicts how the smallest efforts and gestures can make someone feel special.
On Wednesday, Sivasubramaniam Jayaraman travelled in a cab in the Karnataka capital and was amazed to meet Mr. Rakesh, the cab driver. What is so special about him? Well, Rakesh offers trips to airports at discounted prices. People who have travelled between Bengaluru city and the airport know this journey can be quite expensive. He charges ₹950 from the city to the airport and ₹1,150 to travel from the airport.
In addition to cheaper airport rides, he also provides sealed water bottles, short story and poem books, and napkins for passengers. Though Sivasubramaniam was not heading to the airport, the driver offered him water.
Netizens Are Impressed With Rakesh
It is not every day we find unknown people being kind and offering thoughtful presents on the way. This cab driver’s simple behaviour and carefulness for his passengers surely make him special and an incredible human being. X users are lauding Rakesh for offering excellent services to all commuters.
A commenter wrote, “These are the real heroes who display that there is still humanity in the society.” Another comment read, “We need more people like him. God bless him with abundance always.” It feels wonderful to see how many are calling him an inspiration. Here are more delightful reactions by Netizens.
What are your thoughts on the driver’s kind gesture? Let us know.
