A token of love from Santa
Today I met my Santa. I drove to the city to work and parked in a CPP carpark. After 4 hours while returning to the car park, noticed I had lost my parking ticket. Called the CPP management and a city parking inspector turned up. He filled the ticket replacement form, and in the process, he came to know that I am from Bangladesh. Knowing that he told me if I knew this before, maybe I would be able to do this for free and contacted his supervisor and requested to charge me for an hour (this carpark has got 3 hours free parking on weekend and public holidays) instead of the full day. He managed to get a reduced $4 bill for the complete process.
He is from the same country, and I believe we are living in the same city for the last six years but never met. I am a Hindu, and he is a Muslim by religion. But nothing stopped him from taking the risk of his reputation to request his supervisor to help me with a reduced bill.
I don't think I could have a better day than this. This is not because he saved my 8 dollars but the love he has shown to his fellow countryman. That's made my day.
And, Yes, this is my Santa, his name is Shibly who lives in Kewdale. Didn't ask for any more details as I believe they do the favour not for getting acknowledged but for sure, we will cross the road again.
I wish I could be a Santa for someone and hope will be one day.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
