a cherished moment

i had once gone to drop a friend at the railway station. to reach the station we had to take a bus. it would take approximately 45 minutes to an hour to reach the station. i had got a seat on the bus which is quite rare during that hour of the day.
so after 15 minutes i see this old man struggling to stand and he might have been standing there much before i got into the bus. i got up and asked him to sit. obviously he thought that i was going to get down at the next stop. but my stop was last. it felt great to help him out. stops went-by and then before one certain stop, someone patted me on the shoulder and asked me to sit down and also said thanks. it was the same old man. i dont know how others would have felt at such a moment but such small things make my day.
