Episode 28 A Brief Moment of Encounter

I took a math class in the undergrad building today. After class, it was freezing and I was starving. I run to Mandel Hall and got a sandwich, and called Uber pool. 

I saw two passengers already in the car, so I sit in the front. After I was settled, the driver, a black mid aged man, with some ascent, smiled at me and said, "Hello Gloria, my name is Bill. This is Grace and this is Dave." The ride felt like going for a picnic with some old friends. 

It was the first time I saw an uber driver introduces fellow passengers to each other. I thanked Bill for doing that. He said, "Really? I always do this. We are from different parts of the world and by chance have a brief moment to know each other. Isn't that beautiful?"
