A Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) driver marked his retirement with an emotional farewell to the bus that had been part of his working life for years. Paul Kurian, from Kattappana in Idukki district, completed his final journey before turning back to the vehicle one last time, in moments that have since resonated with social media users.
Rather than simply walk away after his last trip, Paul returned to the bus and expressed his gratitude in a deeply personal way. He hugged the vehicle, kissed it and climbed into the driver’s seat for the final time.
