Returning after a late dinner at a friend’s place on a weekend, with delays in getting a cab due to the weekend traffic rush, I decided to take the bus home. Somewhere along the way I dozed off, only to be woken up by a profusely apologetic driver, as I had obviously not heard the announcement made by him that the bus was being terminated midway and going to the depot. The kind man accompanied me to help me find a cab for the rest of the journey. But then that’s London.
