I go home from National University of Malaysia to Petaling Jaya almost every weekend by public transportation; which is the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) and the Light Rail Transit (LRT). Every journey back home takes me a little over an hour and I usually spend my time looking out the window and listening to music.
However, during my journey back home yesterday, I met a very special person. He is P. Suppiah, the owner of McCurry. I did not recognise him, nor was I aware of his internationally-famous lawsuit regarding the name of his restaurant.

Along the train journey, he told me stories of his life, from the lawsuit file to how his daughter became a beauty pageant. It was very enlightening to know how someone so knowledgeable yet so humble manage to become so successful in life yet defying so many odds against himself.

He shared an article written by himself on how to leverage time with money and it was an article full of good information. After about an hour, he got off the train and I continued my journey back home. Never had a journey back home for me was so humbling and that day was a special day for me.
