I had just missed my train, and the next one was half an hour away. So I sat down and watched a few scattered lives passing by. After some time, I looked to my left — there’s another man sitting quietly, waiting for a train he’s already missed… maybe for reasons bigger than time. Head down. Eyes flooded. He’s crying… but not the kind of crying people notice. It’s the silent kind.”

He further continued, “The kind that doesn’t ask for attention, only for release. For a moment, I forget my own wait. I walk to him and ask if he’s okay… He doesn’t answer much. Just says, ‘Bas yaad aa gaya kuch... thank you so much for asking.’ And then, silence again. He stares at the empty tracks, like he’s waiting for a train that will never come — maybe someone he lost, maybe the version of himself that never returned. I sit back. The world moves in slow motion. The lights flicker. And all I can think is — men also cry, but in silence. Not because they’re weak, but because sometimes silence is the only language pain understands. I’m praying to the universe — please, send the best possible happiness into this man’s life.”The post has since gone viral, with many praising the empathy and sensitivity shown in the message. One user wrote, “You’ve expressed this so beautifully — showing a vulnerable and soft side to men. God bless you and him, and everyone who needs this.”Another commented, “Thank you for asking if he was okay. Even a few words can make a big difference. At least he’ll remember that there are kind people around who care.”A third user added, “Every man goes through this pain. A hug really helps, bhai. I hope he gets stronger.''
