Thank You Nadeem!
There is a reason that I created the New York Experience category in my blog. I want to share my wonderful experience with New Yorkers... millions of faces, one purpose...being kind to each other.
I was inspired to write this article by one man. His name is Nadeem and he is a taxi driver in New York City.
It was the 13th of November, and I had just left a meeting at ESPN. I decided to grab a quick bite before my afternoon meeting, so I headed to Columbus Circle to get my favourite tuna nicoise sandwich from Bouchon bakery. It was pouring and impossible to get a taxi, when I spotted a lady leaving a cab. I ran towards the car and jumped in, asking the driver to take me downtown. Comfortable, I sat down, turned off the TV and made a phone call to my friend to share my excitement regarding my previous meeting. I was talking about how much I love fitness, and how amazing it would be to get a spot on TV to share my real life passion for fitness, living a balanced lifestyle, and getting the best out of life. I guess I was speaking loudly enough for Nadeem to overhear my conversation. When reached my destination, he asked me" Are you a famous TV star?" I replied "Not yet". He asked me for my autograph and my web site address so he could read my blogs and view my workout. A few days later, I got Nadeem's message:
"Hi Sylwia, its Nadeem, the cab driver, that picked you up from Columbus Circle, on November 13th. Your are really beautiful and fabulous. It is my wish to give you a ride again. If you need me again, don't forget to call me" Nadeem
I wrote about my experience with Nadeem because it was a sincere experience with a stranger, who took the time to share his feelings and his admiration. I say, Thank you Nadeem!
