Anupinder Singh, an artist whose reels capture raw, unscripted human emotions, decided to sketch a portrait for the bus conductor – travelling from Sunam to Budhlada.“Today, for the first time, I made a sketch on a moving bus. And the road—well, it was one of the worst roads in Sangrur district. I had almost given up, thinking it wouldn’t be possible today,” he wrote in the reel’s caption.“Pata hi nahi lagga inni jaldi bana diti,” ‘Bappu ji’ said, smiling — admitting he didn’t even realise when the portrait had been completed.And somewhere between Sunam and Budhlada, on a dusty road in Punjab, art once again proved that kindness travels faster than any bus.
