    Answer:

    Yesterday was the most crucial day of my life. I went to my friend's place because I had an interview with HCL in Noida. I went shopping with her as I was free after the interview. We were travelling in the metro and were passing through a tunnel. Suddenly, due to some technical fault, lights went out and it was dark. Everybody was feeling frightened. People started pushing each other Women and children were screaming because it was dark all over. Some of the people who had phones with flash light, switched on their lights and tried to relieve the public. After few minutes people were relieved, but suddenly I came across an old man who was covered with a blanket. Somehow, he did not seem to be a right person. I was really not comfortable seeing him, he was standing in front of me. Within seconds I realized he was a pickpocketer I caught him red-handed and when the next station came, we handed him to the police officer who was present there. Everybody appreciated my presence of mind but I was very tired because I had to go to the police station and had to wait there for almost two hours for the inquiry.

    Mrs. Madhu was alone in her house. After she had done all the household chores, it was 1 p.m. It was the time of her favourite serial. So she took her lunch and sat glued to the TV watching and enjoying the serial. Only 10 minutes had passed when the doorbell rang. It irritated her to go out at that time of noon, when she was engrossed in her favourite programme. Anyhow, she went and opened the door. She found that there was a sadhu. He wanted some food. But Madhu was in a foul mood. She said that she had nothing to give him and slammed the door. She turned to the comfort of her couch to watch her programme, but she was restless now. Her interest in the programme had gone. The pain and misery written upon he face of the sadhu troubled her soul. Her conscience was pricking her. When she could not regain her calm, she went out to see if he was still there. She found that he was sitting outside the main gate of the house in the shade of a tree. She took some food for him and went out to give it to him. Joy and sparkle in his eyes overwhelmed her. She noticed blisters on the sole of his feet as he had no slippers. She then brought a pair of slippers for him. The sadhu had tears in his eyes. He thanked God and blessed her. She too felt great satisfaction.
