#MyStory This rickshaw dude was skipping signals and when I told him to stop doing this, he arrogantly said that everybody does that, so whats the problem. I told him to leave me and go ahead but he was reluctant. He didnt want to leave his fare and so I decided to handle this situation differently. I bought him a pack of donuts and gifted him at the end of journey. He was all shocked and surprised. I asked him whether someone had done this to him before, he said NO. Then, I asked hm whether he was feeling appreciated and happy, he said YES. I told him that sometimes its more sensible and fun to do things that everybody doesnt do, like following the traffic rules, He almost cried and immediately we had a hug. He confessed that no one had treated him like this before and he got my message very well and clear. I reminded him of Gandhijis quote Be the change you wish to see in the world. Friends, sometimes the most toughest problems have the most simplest solution. This Rs 170 donuts will do the job for lifetime that a thousand rupee fine/punishment wont ever do, hopefully. Left brain and heart on the left is a perfect combination to use, go ahead and #BeTheChange ~Agastya Kapoor
