More than 'COMFORT'...

He called me while I was in the middle of a daunting task at work. “I left your phone in the taxi”. I tried to calm my self down. I learnt not to panic when this kind of thing happens to me. Phoned the taxi driver. I knew he was not going to pick up the phone but the good sign was the phone was not switched off. I rang again and to my relief it was the same voice I spoke to earlier, giving him direction on how to get to my place. He said he was in central town. It might take him an hour to get back to my place. I was anxious. Could not concentrate on my work anymore. I left the office. I rang him again after an hour. It was still ringing but he didn’t pick it up. “That’s it…there goes my phone”….

Went for a dinner but subconciously restless. Suddenly the phone rang. What a comfort………….He had been waiting outside. He said he had to wait for someone to walk past to show him how to use the phone. Exhausted all the sweet and kind words that I could think of and offered him some monetary reward.

If you need a reliable taxi driver, go for Soid Tajudin of ‘Comfort’ Taxi. He has somewhat changed my perception of a taxi driver. If there is an award for the ‘Taxi Man of the year’ he well deserved it. It was not only a comfortable ride for some; it’s way beyond…….
