CAN YOU IMAGINE ?

         A driver called for a trip, reaching the destination, instead of getting trip amount, driver gives an amount to the passenger, seeing his pathetic situation !

                                                                             Mr. Thomas P. T., a Sarathi driver from Angamaly south taxi stand, called for a trip by a person to take his paralysed daughter from the hospital to his home at Annamanada. When he reached the destination, he was moved by the pathetic situation of the family. Instead of receiving Rs.500, which the passenger gave for his trip, Mr. Thomas took Rs. 1,000 from the car and gave it to the man, saying "I have only this much to help you in this situation". All the family members of that poor family astonished at his noble act.
