Since my Dad is in town for just a week, it was a mad clamber to meet family and friends who he had not in several years.
Today was one such day when he was meeting one of his friends who is 80+ and due to the heat, he asked me to book him a cab. On his way back, his friend who was travelling with him left his phone in the Uber cab. He realized it only after about half hour of reaching his home. He called Dad to ask him if Dad had seen his phone. We called his number and the cab driver Ganesh picked it up. He was already on another ride but he promised to drop the phone personally at Dad' friend' place.
Ever the skeptics, we told him to return the phone to whoever was closer to him at his earliest. He said that he would be coming closer to our place and told us to not worry about the phone. Within an hour, we got a call from Dad' friend saying that Ganesh had come by personally to return the phone to him.
Dad' friend was worried more about the loss of the contacts on his phone. Where he had lost hope, Ganesh' act of honesty and going out of his way to return the phone was simply overwhelming.
Not just for him, for us too. Because it is far from what we hear normally about cab drivers like - how rude they are or how they overprice or how they harm the customer.
Thank you Ganesh for showing us how cab drivers can also be!
