“I love kaccha (raw) guavas, so I stopped and asked the woman how much all the guavas were for. She said Rs. 150, so I gave her Rs. 200. When she tried to return the change, I told her to keep it.”
However, what happened next moved Priyanka deeply.
“She obviously sold guavas for a living, so she went away for a bit. But before the traffic light changed to green, she returned and gave me two more guavas. A working woman—she did not want charity.”
Sharing Her Experience on Social Media
Along with her narration, Priyanka also posted pictures of the guavas she purchased, glimpses from her journey, and a signboard reading ‘Talamali’. Her caption was simple yet heartfelt: “Lately” ❤️.
