My Pakistani Friend!!!

When we are in India, sometimes we hate Pakistani people. And few are responsible for this hatred feeling. But that is quite serious topic and I don't think this is good idea to discuss it here. Rather here is an incident which happened to me in Denmark.

One day I was with my few other friends, was doing weekly household shopping on Saturday afternoon. So I was coming with 3-4 bags in my both hands. Now I had to take a bus to go to my place. So I was waiting at bus stop. And there came a bus. I was getting into bus and bus driver said, " Are kya bat hain? Itna saman leke ja rahe ho?"

Me - "Are sab le jana padata hain.. pure week ke liye..:)", with a smile.

Driver - "Achha, kaha se ho?"

Me - "India se. Aur aap?"

Driver - "Are sahi hain.. main to Pakistan se hun... Aaa jao.. front seat pe baitho... aapko Hindi gane sunata hun!"

And then he started music player with some Hindi song running.

Driver - "Kabhi suna hain kya ye? Rekhaji ke gane hain..."

Me - "Achha.."

Driver - "Aise hi yahan pe vaise bhi Hindi me kisi se bat karaneko nahi milata... isliye gane sun leta hun... achha lagata hain"

Me - "Sahi hain.... "

Then we talked for few minutes and then after some time, I got down at my place saying "Good Bye .. " to him...
The way he behaved with me is really nice. I will never forget it.

So when you are outside India and when you meet somebody from Pakistan, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka, you feel very nice. You feel like we have met our neigbhour, somebody from our own country.
