I found reference to following news item at Metroblogging Islamabad which in turn got the photo from Duffer’s blog.
Taxi driver Bilal Mehmood told that a person bought a goat and booked his taxi for going to Islamabad. He was following on his motorbike. At the decided place, the taxi driver couldn’t find the person. Owner of goat can plz contact at the given number.
This ad made us all proud. He also said a loud no to corruption. ATP’s other Inspiration Pakistan stories can be read here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. The original ad appeared in the daily Jang.
Have things really gotten so terrible that every time any person does even remotely the right thing we have to blog about it?
It’s kind of worrying when normal honesty is elevated to some kind of heroism. Good grief!
I PRAY for such honest people.
In sep 2002 . One riksha driver did same with me .
He was carrying worth Rs 50,000 medicine and following me air port .I missed him at NIPA.He took riksha to his house located in liyari .and come to my home .My mother called me
up.when i took that riksha wala to his house to get my things back .I was shocked to see his very poor living condition but
Even then he refuse to take any inam from me .
ALLAH KEEP SUCH PEOPLE HAPPY AND HEALTHY.
Was really impressed…. I hope he is recognized by the city government as an exemplary model citizen and adequately awarded…
Very uplifting.
There are lots of good and honest people but their deeds remain un-noticed and least heralded.
I recall one such incident where a Pakistani Taxi driver in New York City returned a large sum left by an old lady in his cab. He was publically acknowledged by NY Mayor.
Excellent Post – This is what we are about.
In 2004 i took a taxi from Lahore Airport, and forgot my suitcase and lap top in the boot of the car.
I did not realsie until a few hours later, and was even more upset with everyone saying you will never see them again .
