    A heartwarming gesture done by an Uber driver for his customer goes viral for all the right reasons. The customer, Harsh Sharma shared his Uber experience with a driver named Ravi.
    The Uber driver, Ravi had realised that Harsh had not slept, he made an extra attempt to organise the seats of the car for him to lay down. Ravi also went on to ask him if he had his breakfast, to which Harsh had said that he had not eaten.

    Ravi told him, "You sleep, I (will) stop at a good restaurant."

    An hour into the journey, when Harsh got up, they were parked outside a crowded restaurant and Ravi arranged a table, brough a menu and suggested some South Indian dishes that he could try. They ate together and Ravi later brought him a coffee and said, "Isse neend Khulegi".

    Harsh said that he (Ravi) didn't let him even leave the table. He said that even though they had met only an hour ago, Ravi was treating him like a son.

    During the course of the meal, two other people joined them at the table, which is a relatively rare sight in Delhi.

    Harsh wrote that one of the people who sat at the table, a man in his 50s, left an impression on him. It left him wondering that in the fast paced life today, we left some of our humanity behind.

    Harsh also mentioned that he had moved to Bangalore about a month ago.

    Citizens felt moved by Ravi's kindness, with one user saying, "This is so wholesome and nice and unexpected. With the changing times it is extremely rare to find such love and kindness by others." Another wrote, "His t-shirt reads aptly."

    A third user added, "I’m glad you got to meet a gem of a human being like Mr. Ravi."

    Someone commented, "He was kind to you. I hope you have done something special for him. Uber will pay him for his services anyway.." To this, Harsh replied, "Yepp, I paid for his food and 15% tip."
