Being thankful…….

Hello smiley faces. I hope you all are doing great. Today I am going to share with you an incident that taught me an important lesson in the book called life. This incident must have happened 3-4 months ago but even now I remember every bit of it.

I was with my mom at a local pharmacy when this incident took place. The pharmacy was crowded as it was the peak hour of their business. So I decided to wait outside and that’s when I saw an old beggar or should I say the one who changed my outlook towards life. There was nothing special about this beggar. He was just like any other beggar that you can find anywhere on the streets of any Indian city. He was dressed in shabby, fakir like clothes. To be frank his overall look was pretty bad.

He must have been hungry which is why he begged a fruit vendor for some food. The fruit vendor gave him few bananas to eat. He blessed the vendor and started moving towards a tree. I thought he would sit in the cool shadow of the tree and eat his food right away, but he didn’t. Yes friends, he didn’t.  He first touched the tree with his hands, and then he bowed before the tree with folded hands. I looked as if he considered the tree as his god. He then touched the tree with his food i.e. bananas as if he was making an offering to his god. And then he finally started eating his food after this ritual. Seconds after this incident, my mom came and we left that place. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about the incident even after we left.

For others, he was just a beggar. But for me he was a person who taught me an important lesson in life. I am not sure whether he thought the same while performing this whole ritual. But I thought that he bowed before the tree because he wanted to thank it because it was the source from where his food came. So friends the moral is “If you get something in life; always thank the person/ the source due to whom/ which you could get that thing.”

So at last I want to thank my family, friends and all of you my virtual friends for supporting my blog. Because writing articles for my blog makes me happy. So that in turn makes you all the source of my happiness. Thank you all once again.
