It was a warm summer evening in Mumbai, and I had just arrived at Mumbai Central Station after a long day of traveling. I was tired and eager to get to my hotel, but as I made my way through the busy station, I noticed a man sitting on a bench, staring off into the distance.

Something about him caught my attention, and I felt compelled to approach him. As I got closer, I noticed that he was an elderly man, dressed in a traditional kurta pajama, with a white beard and kind eyes.

"Excuse me, sir," I said, "Is everything okay? Can I help you with something?"

The man looked up at me and smiled. "No, no, I'm fine. Thank you for asking," he replied in a thick Indian accent. "I'm just waiting for my son to arrive. He's coming in on the next train."

I nodded and smiled back, then asked him where he was from. He told me he was originally from Punjab, but had moved to Mumbai many years ago in search of work. He had worked as a laborer for most of his life, but now that he was retired, he spent most of his days traveling to visit his children and grandchildren.

We chatted for a while longer, talking about his family and his life experiences. As we talked, I could feel a sense of warmth and kindness radiating from him. Despite the language barrier and cultural differences between us, we were able to connect on a human level.

Soon enough, the man's son arrived, and he said goodbye to me with a smile and a wave. As I watched him reunite with his son, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected encounter. It reminded me of the power of human connection and the importance of taking the time to talk to strangers, even in the midst of our busy lives.
