I only moved to London a year ago and when I first got here I was surprised by how so many ignored everyone else. I started making a real effort a few months ago to be nice to all the people I met on public transport and people have been a lot friendlier to me ever since. Good stuff! I loved reading this blog!

It made me feel good to hear it, and made me want to be a better person and follow in your example. I wish there were more people like you in the world. If we all took a little more time in our day, to pay attention to others around, we could easily find at least one person in need during the day. The need could easily be remidied without financial support ususally. let's all try to be better! That was an awesome story.

I have done the same(former part of your article) ! I have silenced the ambient noises of the city with the headphones of my music player. I could not afford an apple ipod , so mine is a lesser one in price and features. My music was mostly Indian and yours were most probably English. I have tried to shut out unconnected people out of my lives. Last November I was touring rural Trivandrum with a purpose and I was biking alone towards Palode. I was passing through a particularly hilly terrain and for a kilometer i came across no human being. The endless green plantations on my sides let me wonder whether I am off-route, and trespassing through private estate land. There along a bend on the road that was upward slopy too , I met an old man walking. I asked him direction to Palode and viola I was on the way. For another one kilometer I met no one. And then the small hamlets so particular of rural Kerala (the state/province of which Trivandrum is the capital) started re-appearing. This time one among the rustic folk connected with me.
