Social activist Kiran Verma buys schoolbag

“I booked an Uber cab today, the driver picked me and he started the ride. During the ride, he got calls and he disconnected 2-3 times. After that I insisted him to pick up the call.He did and the sound from the other side was quite audible to me. It was his daughter and she was asking for a school bag.” he began his post.

Moved by the driver’s predicament, Verma altered his drop-off location and led the driver to a nearby store, where he purchased a school bag for the man’s daughter. Despite facing financial limitations himself, Verma selflessly covered the cost using his wife’s account, emphasising the importance of kindness and assisting those in need.

Reflecting on the encounter, Verma underscored the resilience and sacrifice of fathers, praising them as unsung heroes and wrote in his post, “We often come across bad drivers using services like #Ola or #Uber but sometimes we meet Superheroes also known as Fathers. I don’t have words, how rich I feel after this. But gratitude to each and every father who never let their kids down.”
