A true story in Kerala

A true story in Kerala I was working with a handsome salary in America, after few year's teaching stint back at home. One day I got a phone call from my hometown - It was Lillikutty, my ex colleague. She was a very nice, kind person; fellow teacher at the school I taught at there, before went to America. I asked her all about the school & people etc., Lillikutty made a request: "Thomas, our school still doesn't have a decent ladies toilet. You should help us with your heart. This isn't a big amount for you". Considering my income at that time, it was a indeed small amount, so I sent money for the construction of toilet in the school. Since it was a small amount, I didn't feel the need to tell anyone about it. Several years later, when I was home on leave, me and my wife went to our local church festival. While, I was strolling with my wife in the festival grounds, out of nowhere appeared in front of us, with a big smile- Lillikutty Teacher. I introduced her to my wife. Lillykutty blurted out with her gratitude: "Thomas, whenever I go to the ladies toilet, I always remember you. What you did that day was something I will never forget.” It has been six months since this incident, my wife hasn’t spoken a word to me! No matter what I say, she doesn't believe !! *Always Keep your spouse informed about your CSR activities.
