The other day, I was travelling on an app-based cab.

A homeless man was standing outside in the heat.

His hands were crooked and shaking.

He could not speak properly

but explained in both signs as well as some unintelligible words

and wanted some water to drink.

Just as I opened my purse to give him money for a water bottle,

I was pleasantly surprised to see the cab driver’s thoughtfulness.

walked hurriedly to the curb

and sat down,

gulping the water thirstily.

I silently thanked Life

slowly going towards apathy and a non-caring attitude.
