A little touch of humanity feels the best is something we all have always heard and some of us might have also felt it. A similar incident got highlighted on Twitter recently. Ramzan fast is been observed by Muslims all around the world. They have a night meal which marks them breaking the fast namely Iftar. A man on the Shatabdi express was surprised by Indian Railways staff with an iftar meal box.
Iftar Served On The Train
Shahnawaz Akhtar boarded the Howrah-Ranchi Shatabdi express at Dhanbad. He asked the staff to send the tea for him a little late as he has to yet break his fast. The staff asked him if he was on Roza to which Shanawaz said, yes, later someone came in with the iftar meal box. He was so touched by this gesture that he took a picture and shared it on Twitter.
