qqp question1: Why would an older middle aged man be embarrassed to see me when I saw him with his partner in town? question2: Recently I was in my hometown Siwan, Bihar. In an evening when I was coming back from the market to my village I saw an old man aged 60+ who was feeling reluctant to walk in such a chilling cold. I offered him a lift on my bike and he refused it. I am still confused. Why did he do so?
