Goodwill Hunting

On a particularly rainy day in my lovely city, I was driving back home from work. Now for those who don't know,my office is about 15 kms from my house. Luckily,my dad has been kind enough to lend me his car to drive to a job I have grown to hate. Its a nice car,cherry red Indica diesel Turbo,suits me perfectly. However the irony is,the route that i take to work, almost strategically passes some of the most crowded roads of the city,including the one bridge in the city,which was constructed long ago to accommodate bullock carts n cycles. I call it the Chaos Bridge. Makes crossing it seem like some kind of a challenge. I have it a lot easier,I remind myself when I see people outside on bikes,getting drenched in the rain and crossing massive potholes. I call them potholes because I don't know of a word that can be used to describe small ponds in the middle of the road.
So on this one rainy day,I was braving the odds and driving home,when a very considerate gentleman in the car next to mine pointed out that I had a flat tyre. Now there are many things I can do. I can reverse park into the tiniest of crevices that allows my car,I can cross the deadliest ghats in it. But I cannot,for the life of me,change a tyre.
First of all I don't know how to use the jack thingie. I cannot lift the tyre from the boot. And I never know whether you have to rotate the bolts clockwise or anti-clockwise to loosen them. So there I was,stranded in the middle of the road,standing in the rain trying to call the one person who I was certain would come and get me. And then all of a sudden, two young men on a bike,stopped on the side of the road. 'Madam,tyre punture ho gaya,change karke doon?'. And thats it. It took the guy a little less than 10 minutes to fix the tyre. I watched this kind soul and his companion getting completely drenched in the rain,changing my car tyre for me. So yes,we do live in a cynical world,but there is loads of good will to go around. And being on the giving,or receiving end of it is one of the best ways,to restore your faith in mankind.
