Simple Incident Impacting On Perspective...

One day I was going out on the train. I took my reserved seat. Two people were in the front seat of the second AC coach. Their age would be around 55. Shortly after the train started, TTE came to check the tickets. They excitedly got their tickets checked. Maybe they don't travel by train regularly.

Both were engrossed in conversation. I was busy looking out the window. As the number of reserved seats increases, communication between unfamiliar passengers sitting in the same compartment decreases. The train had left in the evening, so it got dark after a while.

Around eight o'clock, many passengers started for dinner. Many of the passengers who were alone were waiting for their food orders. I opened the parcel from home and started eating.

One of the two passengers sitting in front also had a food parcel from home. He opened the parcel and started arranging the meal on a small table. He insisted on giving it to the passenger, who had not to eat with him. The meal was as it usually is at a middle-class night out. Also, he used to tell the passenger that this food was made by his wife and how well she made it. They were both enjoying the meal.

It's amazing how a simple incident on a train can have such a profound impact on one's perspective. This experience made me realize that even the smallest things can bring immense joy to people, like the way they used to enjoy their meals. It also made me appreciate the effort and dedication that go into preparing food, as now I find myself constantly thinking about the ingredients and the hard work put in by those who make it. It's fascinating how what may seem like a minor event to me could be an one's perspective changer.
