During a recent trip, while I was on my way to IELTS class, I unexpectedly met an elderly gentleman who appeared to be around 75 years old. It was on public transport, after 6:00 PM, and the bus was quite crowded. There was only one seat left, and it was next to this older man. So, I sat down beside him. He began by asking me my name and where I was going. I was a bit dismissive at first, not really interested in engaging with him. I just gave him short answers. Then, he started giving me advice, saying things like, "A girl should have a good education, be independent, and find a job after graduating." I was a bit annoyed and told him I had already completed a B.Tech, a Bachelor of Technology degree. He then revealed that he had a Master's degree in the same field as me and had worked in the panel industry. I was surprised, considering he was just an ordinary-looking man sitting behind me, offering me advice. I wasn't really paying attention at first. But then, I decided to ask him for some advice myself. We only talked for about ten minutes, but he shared a lot about his life. He talked about his personal life, including his mother, his wife (they had a love marriage), and his daughter. He even said I looked like his daughter. He also advised me to eat a healthy diet, follow a strict regimen, and maintain a good edge in life.
