Bogged by various adversities which attacked him simultaneously, a depressed and defeated man decided to end his life. He started planning to execute his decision. He left home with a resolute intention of committing suicide by jumping in front of a running train, passing by the heart of the city. He had to walk on the main street of the city for 1.5 to 2 kms to reach the railway tracks.
Before leaving home he kept one exception to his resolution to commit suicide : on the road to the railway tracks, if he met passers-by and if he found a beautiful smile on even one person's face which reflected his immense inner state of happiness, he would change his decision to commit suicide and return home. The logic being, smile signifies that life is worth living and it would help him to restore his faith in life.
