It’s a child’s helmet,” Goswami tells the woman.He then asked her to make sure her son wore it whenever she took him to school.

Rather than turning the moment into a lecture, he simply offered the boy something practical that could make his rides safer.The helmet itself added a cheerful touch to the exchange. It featured characters from Tom and Jerry, giving the young boy a fun piece of protective gear rather than something he might see as a chore.Goswami’s gesture was small, but his message was clear. A helmet is just as important for a child sitting on the back of a scooter as it is for the person riding it.The video has since received plenty of reactions online, with viewers appreciating Goswami for stopping to help a child he did not know. For many, the moment stood out precisely because there was no grand gesture involved, just one commuter noticing another road user, sharing what he had and making a simple request to keep a child safer.- EndsPublished By: Srimoyee ChowdhuryPublished On: Aug 16, 2026 17:12 IST
