*What a packet of Biscuits and a hungry young girl taught me
*What a packet of Biscuits and a hungry young girl taught me ....*
*I was waiting at the train station at Coonoor to go to Ooty for the day . The train had not yet arrived and i was simply passing my time, talking with friends, clicking pics, watching crowds of travelers come in and pose around.*
*Seeing me, a girl of about 10 years of age came to me and said, "Sir, please buy these pens, I will give you 2 pens for Rs.10. I am very hungry, I will get to eat something."*
*With her was a little boy who was wandering around, maybe her brother.*
*I said, "Well I don't need a pen."*
*Her next question was very startling, "Then how will we eat something?"*
*I said, "I don't want a pen, but you will definitely eat something."*
*I had two packets of biscuits in my bag. I took out both the packets, and handed one to each of them. But I was surprised, when she returned one packet and said, "Saab One is enough, we will share it."*
*I was utterly surprised to hear this!*
*I said again, "It's okay, you keep both. It doesn't matter."*
*That girl's reply shook me to my core, my soul. .......................*
*She said, "Then What will YOU EAT ?? "*
*In this world, where people earn crores at the cost of keep humanity hungry and needy, this hungry girl taught me the ultimate lesson of humanity.*
*Don't take so much from someone out of greed that we eat their share as well !!*
*"There is a fundamental principle- Try to Give more than what we take and make humanity live !!!*
