A day of fatigue turned around by a kid’s gesture

In her caption, Sneh described how fatigued she was after completing four flight sectors. She wrote, “Do I look tired not at all but trust me I was desperately waiting for the door to open I wanted to go home and sleep surprised nobody got up for their luggage after 4 sectors mujhe bas ghr janna tha I was sad 3:30 seh 15:00 hogaya tha but this cute kid looking at me and he offered me let’s play rock paper scissors it’s the cutest things that have happened to me.”

She went on to reflect on her mother’s comforting words. “Mumma says bache Bhagwan ji ka roop hote h they will make you smile just few minutes with them your tiredness will go away I guess to this day I felt it’s true,” she said, adding that although crew members spend hours making others smile, they often return home with no one to cheer them up. “But yeh choti Khushiya aapko khush kar deti h and you know I was the happiest while deplaning felt like I can do another sector. Thank you kid if you see this video one day thank you for making me smile who won it’s a secret.”
