An eye-opener

This incident happened while I was in Penang.

Sometimes we went out for lunch along with Nayan, a permanent employee there. One day after lunch Nayan went to bank for some job and we (Vishant and I) followed him.

While we were waiting for our turn, I saw a person withdrawing money at the teller. It seems he was an illiterate because he used thumb as signature. After applying ink, instead of taking a fresh paper to clean it, he took a partial used one. Even though, he don't know how to write his name, he reused a paper. He simply used his common sense, nothing more.

Please think about this for a moment. We, educated and high-class people, who never used a paper napkins in childhood, suddenly got changed because corporates provide them for free. We don't use the ones which have just fallen down and no need to talk about partially used ones!

My first blog!

Don't wonder whether it is first or second. What I meant was 'First blog which makes sense".

In this I want to add some incidents which changed my life. As many know, I have some amnesia, I can't recollect all of them.

One of my favourite dish is 'వాంగీబాత్' (vangibath) - bath made of brinjal, rice and other stuff. When my mother makes it we will have it for breakfast and also for lunch. We had a 3-box carriage for each person. On that day I had all the 3 boxes fill with vangibath. During lunch, Harsha, a friend, asked for some. But I didn't give as he didn't give me some thing long ago when I asked him. In the evening, I told my mother this incident. Then she said "Giving in return to something is not great, but giving when they haven't given is something of value". It didn't have any +ve impact then, but had a small stamp in my mind.

It is not that just this occasion influenced my mind, but this along with others had left a soft corner towards others in my heart!

It is time now!

The blog will be up soon! Hope to add and update it with lots of stuff.

I thought of starting one on my bday, but bcos of being a busy day after a busy weekend I am posting it now. Actually I forgot about blog. Suman reminded me again and so I am posting one!
