This is Murali and his family waiting in a long queue to get to the counter at the immigration at Katunayake airport. He had flown down from India and was taking pictures with everyone who asked for one, while waiting. His wife Madhi Malar was by his side chatting with people she had never met in her life.
I was right behind them. The staff asked him to step out of the line so they can get him cleared quickly and he could have been on his way home in a few minutes. But he politely declined the offer and waited in line for almost an hour with the rest of us. I didn’t want to trouble him for a picture because I felt like he could have been really tired. They were both so very humble and sweet.
What a great duo. Such humility from such a legend. I thought it was worth a share. Bless him and his family.
