Let’s be honest – nearly no one looks forward to being out on the streets in India, especially during rush hour. Road rage, unrelenting traffic jams, crowded pavements, and the general impatience of a million people waiting to reach their destinations usually translates into a lot of bad humour. In fact, psychologists claim that commuting can often lead to stress, with people commonly experiencing boredom, anger, and frustration due to traffic or delays. In such situations, can one really find stories of hope and kindness amidst the chaos?
We invited readers from across the country to share positive incidents from their daily encounters on the streets, as part of the #MakeEveryDayGreat campaign by Maruti Suzuki Wagon R. Their moving responses prove how even the smallest act of kindness can transform an ordinary day into a great one.
A whimper for help
“I was on my way to work when I spotted a badly-injured dog on a busy highway. He had been hit by a car and from what I could tell – one leg was definitely broken. I tried to flag down an auto for the longest time but to no avail. After waiting for almost 45 minutes with that bleeding puppy in my arms, I noticed a car slowing down. To my surprise, it was my manager from work! He not only gave us a lift to the vet, but also stayed on till we had signed the necessary documents and gotten the puppy medical attention. Later on, I found out that he was actually en route to an important meeting, which he had to postpone due to this delay. (Turns out, he was a dog lover, too!) The puppy is fine now, and we even helped him find a home. And all because someone decided to go out of their way to help.”
