Kindness of this uber driver is unmatched

Today, I was left enamored by the kindness of this man.

I had an interview. I woke up at 6 a.m. I had to take two buses to reach at the desired college at 9 a.m. I was running late.

After reaching the city, I booked a cab. I forgot to print my CV. Yes, I made a foolish mistake. I thought I'll ask him to drop me by at a xerox shop. But to my surprise as I gazed out the window, the city was barely awake. Most of the shops were yet to be opened. I got really tense, my mind was racing through the options, if there were any left. He gazed at my blank face through the inside rear view mirror. We reached the college, I asked him if there are any xerox shops he knows of, I will walk by myself. He said, don't worry, I can help you find one. I offered to re-book the cab but he volunteered to take me to the shop without booking as booking may connect with some other cab.

And so, I trusted him. We were now finding a market nearby, and we found one, but again the shops were closed. The place was filled with a few vagrant men smoking cigarettes and doing, I don't even know what. He pulled the cab and asked them on my behalf if there was any photostat shop nearby. They pointed to the end of the road. The scene to the end of the road was like a horror movie, thunderous  sky, dark alleyway, cigarettes fumes. He walked with me to the end. The only opened shop in the whole vast city, he asked the old man if he could photostat. The shopkeeper said yes.

In the meanwhile, the old man was doing copies of my CV. I thought I'll pay the cab driver his due, maybe he has to take another fare, why waste his time for me and my stupid mistake. I'll have to book another cab at this point back to college. He refused the money and asked me to get my CV together first. We stayed silent then. I walked with him, back to the other end of the road, and he asked me to sit in the cab and offered me a ride back to college. I was enamored at this point.

As we reached college, I again offered to pay, thinking, ofcourse it was the right time to pay now. But, he refused to take any money and wished me luck for the interview. I was stunned by his kindness. I was soo grateful that people like him exist.

TLDR: Helped by a kind cab driver in a vacant city, and he took no money!

What's the kindest thing a complete stranger has ever done for you ?

Today, I was left enamored by the kindness of this man. In a world filled with negative actions of men in family and outside, this man stood out.

How to have no show in/under water?

We were going on a family trip to do water sports. I was thinking to wear something decent. I do not want to buy a swim suit. I was looking for something that would be no show. I cannot wear padded bras as it will soak so much water, packing wet clothes would create a problem. I was thinking of silicone pads or covers but that would not hold in water I guess, as I have used and when I sweat it loses its stickiness. I was also thinking of maybe buying a top with frills.

So, what do you reccomend?

What was the exact moment you thought you are ready for marriage?

I just cannot come to terms with it. How do you even find that: okay, now I can accept the idea of getting married and look for matches. I find it so difficult. The idea itself doesn't seem like it is made for me. Love marriage maybe, arrange just never. I find it hard to digest. How do you ease yourself into it?

Can we directly use pictures from visuals of films or music in thesis?

I want to create an appendix of screenshots from music videos and also another appendix of all the lyrics and their translation, but I am not aware if it is allowed for academic purposes or if I will have to procure permission, as it is under copyright, but permission from whom?

If anyone of you can guide, if you have used screenshots for mass media related thesis, please help me.
