The legendary Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter to laud the traffic cop for helping his close friend by going beyond the call of duty.
Tendulkar said he met the cop and thanked him for his help and shared a note with a title "The world is a beautiful place because of such people...".
"Few days ago, a close friend met with a serious accident. By god's grace, she is better now. However, it was the timely help from a traffic cop, which made the difference. He immediately took her in an auto to a hospital and applied real presence of mind -- ensuring her severely damaged spine had minimal movement while travelling," Sachin said in a letter posted on Twitter.
"I met him and thanked him for his help. There are several people like him all around us – who go beyond the call of duty. The world is a beautiful place because of such people. When you see such people, especially those who serve the public, take a moment to thank them. We may not know it, but in their own way, they strive to make a difference in peoples lives. Silently," added Tendulkar.
The former India opener also lauded the traffic police in general for their efforts and appealed to the public to obey traffic rules.
"To traffic police across India, thank you for your efforts towards ensuring people's safety. To all of us: Let's respect the traffic rules and not take short-cuts. It is not worth saving yourself some time, at the cost of putting someone else's life at risk," the most celebrated cricketer further added.
Sachin never shy away to show his human side and seldom let any thing worth-appreciating go unappreciated. That's master blaster for you!
