Muslim Flier on Air India Flight Asked For a Bottle of Water, Air Hostess Returned With Iftar Meal! Twitter Says 'Humanity Restored'
Needless to say, people too were delighted with the heartwarming gesture and left positive comments about faith restored in humanity.
We Indians boast of unity in diversity but often the varying religious ideologies are pitted against each other. The results are not pleasing and have led to cases of riots and violence in the past. So when there are examples of prevalent unity among the people, it is a good feeling of humanity restored. Something like this was experienced by a Muslim flier named Rifat Jawaid who was aboard an Air India flight. Observing the month of Ramadan, he wanted to break his fast at Iftar time. But as he was flying during that time, he asked the air hostess for a bottle of water. The air hostess returned with a Iftar meal for him. Small gesture but a such a huge delight right?

But he asked for another, when the air hostess asked him to go back to his seat. To his surprise, she returned with a meal of two sandwiches and said, "please don't hesitate to ask for more." He took to Twitter to share the incidence and needless to say people are filled with all the love and faith in humanity.
