Day 33: Three flats, and a foot pump

Both the tyres went flat on a hot, windy day. It was my third flat of the day. This lovely man on his motorbike saw me struggling and offered to help. He told me that pumping with a hand pump might take a while. He picked up a foot pump from his motorbike, asked me to rest and started inflating the tyres.

I told him I could do it myself, but he insisted that I just sit down and rest up.

He made sure that the pressure was right, picked up the pump, hollered “Khuda hafiz” and was gone.

“Khuda hafiz.”
