man this is what i call as india and since the banladesh is also a neibour of india,so even they are having some viberations of honesty from india flowing across thier border..this clearly dipicts that india is good at heart and very generous even to those who are well placed above in monetary and positional terms... kudos to these two guys who represented thier contry very well only in the honesty case but not in being a driver in a foreign company :0) bye maddy
The best point is that both these heros have recieved a reward of appreciation,and respect for their honesty and a place in our heart.All these even $60,000/- cannot buy.
Vinod would probably out of a job if he hadn't returned the money. $5950 v/s many more years earning as a cabbie. The math is simple. Peter would have been breathing down the taxi association's back if Vinod hadn't returned the $$.

if he would have kept the money people like you would have started abusing him and now that he has proved he is an honest man you are trying to find spelling mistakes in his honesty. Try to believe that there are still people who are honest and selfless and it is because of such nice people the world is worth living

Your not being sure is not important. If he wanted to keep the money,he could have said he didnot find the wallet,Owner might have dropped else where, another passenger in taxi might have taken it etc etc.He would not be charged.
while the attitude of Vinod is commendable and inspiring, it is amazing at how the world has fallen so much. Dishonesty has become a way of life. While one honest behaviour has raised eye brows of many in this case. Hope we get back to utter and complete honesty by all..I am sure there are many individuals like Vinod.
Excellent portrayal of honesty. I very much liked the way Vinod has expressed his views on honesty and God fearingness. These good deeds will pay him dividends all his life and also inspire lots!! regards Prashanth from Hyderabad
Kudos to him...he really deserve a word of appreciation...hope he keeps it up and inspire other people to do such fantastic acts for himself and for others!

Though I salute to this guy for his honesty. I am sorry i do not support the idea that this shows all indians are honest.
Try going to some indna governtment office. The "BABU" will teach a lesson in corruption.
I dont wanna sound negative, I just wanna highlight this fact that we need to work on it.
