My wife, Amrita, and I sat there in silence, the engine dead and the road completely empty. There was no phone signal, no sign of help, only the faint stars above us. The minutes felt longer and heavier as we waited, uncertain whether anyone would pass by. Then, after what seemed like an eternity, headlights appeared in the distance. A worn Toyota Corolla pulled over, and a young man stepped out. Without hesitation, he offered to help. He refused any payment and simply said he was happy to be of assistance.
