An artist’s wholesome gesture towards a bus conductor spread a big smile not just on his face but also brought joy to those who watched the moment unfold. He was travelling from Salem to Trichy in Tamil Nadu in a bus, when he decided to surprise the conductor by sketching his portrait on the ticket he received. His small act of kindness impressed the Internet as well.
The video began with the bus conductor collecting money and handing over tickets to the passengers. When the artist’s turn came, he gave him the required money and collected the paper ticket. Then he began sketching with coloured pens. He drew a small, detailed portrait of the conductor on the ticket. Once the sketch was complete, he handed the ticket back to him, who was initially
taken aback. With a gesture, he even inquired what it was. As soon as he saw the sketch, his face lit up with sheer happiness.
Bus Conductor Showed The Sketch To His Colleagues
He couldn’t hide his excitement anymore and showed it to some of the passengers. One moment captured him, sitting at the back of the bus and admiring the sketch while smiling ear to ear. The bus conductor was so happy with the surprise that he even showed it to his colleagues at a bus stand. The artist even got a thumbs-up from them. Later, they even offered him a glass of tea and clicked a few pictures with him.
In the caption, the artist wrote, “The true reward for an Artist is the joy of creating from the heart.”
