In this current time, we never trust people who walk by our side whether its on the railway station or on the footpath or in the malls. Reason is terrorism, we doubt each and every individual and think twice or thrice before talking to any stranger.
It happens with me too, I daily board a jeep from Iscon Temple(Abad) to Gandhinagar to reach at my company. I work at Gandhinagar as a Programmar Analyst. The jeep driver overload the jeeps to earn good amount without discriminating between ladies and gents. They talk rudely with ladies too.
But that day was different, While going back from Gandhinagar to Ahmedabad I had taken lift from my colleague and had get down few km before my destination. From there I sat in a rickshaw(shuttle). The rickshaw driver charges somewhere Rs. 5-7/- to all the passengers. We were 4 in total. Me and other 3 were middle aged men. After the first stop there was a lady who was waiting for some transportation. It was night time, as for ladies it was not a good time to be on road. On seeing that lady the driver stopped the auto, I thought that the driver will pass some vulgar comment or will play mischievies with her. But I was wrong; he asked her, to sit in the rickshaw but the auto was already full. So that fellow asked two passengers to sit in the front seat and asked that lady to sit comfortably in the back seat. I was a silent viewer of this whole scene. But was feeling extra happy that there are still good people alive on earth. And within few minutes my destination came. He asked me to pay Rs.5, but I gave him 5 bucks extra. So he asked me Why ? and I just told you are very kind hearted and so you deserve that. He gave a every good smiled and bow downed to me.
By giving away 5 extra bucks it didnt affected me at all. But that auto driver will keep helping others always.

That Smile of the driver was very memorable.
