Don't remember if I've ever had a more visceral reaction to any incident recently than I did to what happened today. I was traveling in an auto amidst heavy traffic when at a junction, i noticed a small pigeon stuck in middle of the road, trying its best to fly and the cars were zooming besides it like anything. For a second, i got scared to witness the plight of the poor bird but the next moment i could spot a traffic guy looking at me. I waived at him and pointed to the struggling creature and to my amazement, he started walking towards the road, raised his hand up and stopped the traffic for a while. He lifted the pigeon gently and carried it to a safe place near the junction. I gave him a thumps up and a big smile!!!!! (God, that was a moment) I wanted to thank him personally but it was too late as my auto guy zoomed ahead with the changed green signal in front of us.
I felt so good! I guess such moments just give you a feeling that cannot be explained. But yes, it deserves to be part of my blog to be cherished forever and of course three cheers for that traffic man!
