A Day with a Stranger




Do you think it is necessary to stop yourself from speaking to a stranger?
A stranger who was sitting next to me made me realise the fact.  We all are selfish in our way, this is what I realised. He gave me an example. An example of attending school or college for the first time. He asked me "Did you know anyone on the first day of the class?" My answer was "No". He then said, parents who used to say don't speak to strangers, say nothing about it but why? It's something to wonder!
The stranger who was travelling with me said he was travelling penniless, without any friends, without any food just to explore India. He was so sweet and friendly that I felt a sort of connection with his words. He spoke about the true scenario of the places he travelled. Soon after talking with me, he started to talk to the driver about how his life was! Since how long is he is driving? Is he happy with it?
He questioned about the road, the pits and holes to the driver. Maybe he wanted to know more?
He told he has travelled 17 states till now and is really enjoying the journey. I was shocked to know the fact. But it was the reality. The truth in fact.
For a moment I thought he was a stalker. But he was nice. The way he talked to the driver made me realise it's true.
I wish every Indian could see and experience the true scenario of different regions.
I really feel privileged to travel with such a person. Hope he fulfils his wish and dreams.
