Mumbai Indians Salutes 'Human Indicator' Narendra Patil Who Guides Commuters
In Mumbai, a very big city in India, there is a man named Narendra Patil.
Every morning, he goes to a busy train station called Borivali.
Lots of people get confused about which train or platform to use, so he stands there and calls out friendly directions.
That is why people call him the 'Human Indicator' — he works like a helpful sign.
He does this for about two hours before going to his regular job.
His day starts very early with a walk near the sea at Worli Sea Face.
A famous cricket team called Mumbai Indians saw his good work and shared a video to say thank you.
Narendra helps people because he knows travel in Mumbai can be stressful, and he wants everyone to smile.
He also lost his mother a few years ago, and helping others makes him happy and gives his life meaning.
Mumbai Indians shared a video on its official social media account saluting Narendra Patil, a Mumbai resident known as the 'Human Indicator.'
