If you have ever been to Paris, you definitely know that travelling by the Parisien metro is an experience in itself! And I have definitely spent as much time inside the metro stations in Paris as much as I spent outside roaming around the city. So many faces, colours, incidents just within the metros! It incited me to blog about it.
It so happened that I had been travelling by the metro for a few days. Walking down to the Parmentier station from a friend's home each morning I would notice that just at the entrance this young mother would be trying to get her baby's stroller down the metro stairs. Even before the woman would move to lift it, someone or the other, either a young student or a fellow commuter would lift it up at the other end and help her take it down to the paltform. Next they would look at each other, exchange smiles and simply say "bonjour". Each would them walk off in the directions of their own destinations.
How many times have you seen people on the streets, stations, airports in need of some simple form of help? and of all these times how many times have you offered to help them? Forgetting about your own need to rush ahead towards your destinaltion have you stopped by for a moment just to help another soul?
And then post it as a comment below this post. Anything that can improve their life somehow; and remember that even a simple smile can change someone's life....
