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!
