Gratefulness makes us happy

*I feel like reading this again and again & again.. hope u will also...*

*A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing:*

**Last year, I had a surgery and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay in the bed, due to this surgery, for a very long time.* 

**The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life with this publishing company.* 

**The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.*

**And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he met with an accident. He had to stay in hospital with the plaster for several weeks. The destruction of the vehicle was another great loss.* 

*At the end he wrote: Oh God! It was such bad year!!* 

*When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking very sad & lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on that paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and replaced it with that of her husband's.*

*When the writer saw this paper, he found his name written on it with following lines:*

**Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain...*

**I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace...*

**The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical illness met his Creator...*

 **The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability...*

*At the end she wrote:* 

*This year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well!!!*

 *The writer was indeed happy and amazed at such beautiful and encouraging interpretation of the happenings in his life, that year!!!*

*Moral: In daily lives we must see that it's not happiness that makes us grateful but grate-fulness that makes us happy.*

*To all my lovely friends & family members...*

*Think positive*.

*Be happy. Stay Blessed*

Indian Railways, Truly the Lifeline of the Nation

*”DON'T WE ALL" ?*

*”DON'T WE ALL" ?* 

I parked in front of the mall sitting inside my car waiting for my son to get a few items from the supermarket.

Coming my way from across the parking lot was what the society would consider a tramp.

From his looks, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes and no money. 

There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you are just not in the mood and don't want to be bothered.

This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times".

"I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought.

He didn't.

He came and sat on the curb nearby but he didn't look like he could have enough money to even get a good meal.

After a few minutes, he spoke.

"That's a very nice  car,you got there," he said.

He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him.

I said, "Thanks," and continued listening to the car radio.

He sat there quietly, but the expected plea for money never came.

As the silence between us widened, something inside me said, "ask him if he needs any help." 

I was sure that he would say "yes" but I held true to the inner voice.

"Do you need any help?" I asked.

He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget.

We often look for wisdom in great men and women and we expect it from those of higher learning and accomplishments.

I expected nothing but a pair of outstretched grimy hands.

He spoke the three words that shook me.

 *"Don't we all" ?* he said.

I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, until those three words hit me like a twelve gauge shotgun.

*Don't we all?*

I needed help.

Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help.

I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and few other things for the day.

Those three little words still ring in my ears till today.

No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too...

No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, you can give help.

Even if it's just a compliment, you can give that.

You never know when you may see someone that appears to have it all.

They are waiting on you to give them what they don't have - 

*A different perspective on life,*

*a glimpse at something beautiful,*

*a respite from daily chaos, that only you through a torn world can see.*

**DON'T WE ALL?* 

Help somebody, you are only a custodian of whatever you possess”.

*MY VIEW*

*Let’s spend this lockdown period to reflect on life’s true meaning.*

*We come, we go; the in between defines who we truly are.*

*Remain blessed.*
