“I had just quit my job in Pune and with whatever little savings I had, I bought a flight ticket back home. I packed all my things, moved out of my house and headed to the airport. As I reached the airport and got my boarding pass, they announced a change in the gate number. I had only 15 minutes to board the flight and my anxiety took hold of me. I started panicking and thoughts like ‘What if I miss this flight? I am broke and have no place to go to!’ started kicking in. Just then, a man who was also boarding the same flight, somehow spotted me and tried to calm me down. He offered me a smoke and spoke to me about everything except the flight. That random help I got allowed me to gather myself and eventually they reannounced the correct gate number and we headed our own ways.
We didn’t talk after that, neither did we know much about each other apart from our names and what we did for a living. I did try looking him up on Facebook to thank him for comforting me that day, but I found nothing. Simple acts of kindness don’t usually slip our minds, you see. Even though you never talk to that person again, you’ll always remember that one moment when they were there for you when you needed them the most. Afterall, that’s all that matters.”
