One of the fundamental human qualities which each person possesses is kindness. We occasionally forget about it because of our hectic lives, but if we start paying attention to the world around us, we may find numerous instances of humanity that emphasize compassion.
While many people are forgetting their kind sides, small acts of kindness may be seen throughout daily life, which would include anything from opening doors for others to giving up your seat on public transportation to someone in need.

There are several examples of humanity still existing in this world that occasionally surface on the internet.
Parminder Singh, an ex-Google MD, recently experienced a similar situation on his visit to Delhi. This story will only warm anyone’s heart and renew faith in humanity in the midst of the many terrible events taking place in the nation’s capital.
So, here’s what Mr. Parminder came across:

Ex-Google MD Parminder Singh recently shared his cab experience on Twitter. He described how, in his haste to get to the Delhi airport for his trip, he failed to pay the cab driver.
Upon realizing his mistake, he dialed the driver to make the payment. However, the driver responded to the situation in a rather unique way.
Taking to Twitter, he shared his experience,
The soft spoken cab driver dropped us at Delhi airport. We walked off without paying. Desperately called to ask how to pay & he replied, ‘Koi baat nahi, phir kabhi aa jayenge’. Won’t even tell the amount. He knew we don’t live here. We eventually paid him & learnt decency exists.

More than a thousand people have liked and reacted to the post. People praised the driver for his kindness and affirmed that there are still decent people in the world. The story went that much viral that Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodiya also responded to it. Here is what he said,
Delhi Dil vaalo ki..
Same Incident happened with me
But that time he was cycle riksha vaala.
I was in rush to Metro
During the ride he was so humble & civil-spoken.
I forgot to pay him.

Have a look at some other kind remarks on the above incident:
This is great. It happened once with me in mumbai we walked out engaged in talk forgetting it’s mumbai not police car in Punjab. For cab drivers soft skills I returned paid him 10% extra.I still feel how soft skill influence. Most cab drivers are v good.

Hard to believe in current times. Specially in Delhi where I struggled to explain that I paid Online several times. Once on the verge of missing my flight!! .
Good to know you met the one of the rare good people left on earth. Cheers

Thanks Parminder for highlighting. Decency is alone not the property of decent looking people. Cab Driver is a shining example of highest level. We normally hear contrary stories. We are feeling proud on hearing this.
