Was driving down to office today morning, and as usual crossed the St.Antony's church near Cambridge Layout. Whenever I cross the Kebi in front of the church, generally its usual for me to put a cross and say a li'l "thank you" prayer. Today I saw a very old man standing on the foot of the Kebi and praying. So as I was crossing the Kebi, I put a cross and lookin at the old man, I didnt say my regular prayer, but I said a prayer for him.... I dont know..... but I'msure it was not out of sympathy but it came spontaneously. Though not a big deal, but I could feel this gush of happiness inside me.... the happiness to do something or gesture for some one. I don't know that old man, I have know idea who he is, I am absolutely clueless about his life, he is not related to me...but still I was very happy... !!! Infact, I had not spent a single pie on him, I didnt share a single second of my time to know what he was going through...all I said was a li'l prayer for him to keep him happy...... trust me I did feel good.. and happy..... !!!
May be this is not worth writing, but I realized today that we are so engrossed and busy with our own lives that we fail to understand what our fellow beings go through and what they suffer... !!! Infact I accept that I am one of those guys with the same qualities; engrossed, busy, and selfish... !!! But what are we going to lose with a just a gesture or good thought for someone..... leave alone generosity, charity or selflessness, but how much does it really cost just to share a sweet gesture, say a li'l prayer, give a smile, say a 'hi', wish some one a good day...... !!! How much does it actually cost to show a li'l sensitivity towards your fellow being..... !!!
Basically I am a happy guy.... today I am just happier... :-) !!!
