A Nice Guy

Met an local Indian student today by the name of Mallis.

When I saw him, he looked tired, like he'd been through a long day. Well, it WAS late in the evening, so he was probably going home after a day of work or study.

Still, he was quite talkative and we had a nice conversation throughout the train ride.

Now, from my experience, it is bloody hard to get (or make) good conversation when one's tired.
I've seen people who've turned away when i spoke to them, people who just look at you and sigh, as though you're the cause of their problems, bla bla bla.

What struck me was although he looked really tired, we still had a nice chat about things. The easy way in which he said stuff had me going "This guy's a nice guy", know what I mean?

In my case, I don't meet many people like that, or sometimes not at all.

I think we all should take a leaf out of this guy's book and at least try to be a nicer person to the world in general.

My new friend Mallis, nice to have met you.
