Now, don't ask me why I am writing this. Even though a very strong and true God beleiver, I get this feel when I see some miserable happenings around me.....
one such incident happened last monday - may 12.
I had left office early and went to Nungambakkam ... Sun was pouring all the heat on me and I was drenched in sweat when I reached Nungambakkam for meeting educational consultants.... I decided to drink some cold drink in a tea stall when I noticed a very old lady begging to people. She almost seemed to count her days but not even a single soul responded to her begging...
Suddenly she came to me and asked 'Thambi, Enaku oru tea vangi tha pa'. I was shocked. I had seen many people begging and most of the times I have never bothered since I thought those ppl were very young. But her appearance made me to almost cry.
Without thinking for a moment, I ordered one tea and I could see her satisfaction once she drank it fully. She blessed me when I asked 'Do you need any thing else'.
I am not rising my collar in pride for this incident as I spent a mere 5 rupees for a tea and there are lot of ppl who spend much larger amount for charity. What I am trying to convey is - I saw GODliness in her blessings...
As they say, "Helping hands are better than praying lips", I was somewhat satisfied with my act.
Hope GOD blesses her and hope I don't see such people again...
