Let's change
The other day I was travelling in a bus on my way back home from Agrabad to GEC circle. The bus was horribly jam-packed as there wasn't any tiny space left. At that moment, a young woman was struggling to keep balance as the people were rushing inside the bus to have a better position. I was surprised to see none around the woman showing any kind of respect for her. So, I decided to give my own seat to her. But to my utter surprise a burst of laugher came out from my right side where a group of young people were sitting and exchanging dirty jokes with each other. I was puzzled for a while as though I had committed a sin by giving my seat to that woman.
My question is, when will we be civilized and sensitive enough to respect our own mothers and sisters?
