Welcome back guys to my new blog. I hope you all are doing great and having good health. As, you have seen todays topic. So lets Start….

By ordering lassi at a famous shop in Abu Road, all of us friends and friends were sitting comfortably and pulling each other and joking that a 75-80 year old lady standing in front of me with outstretched hands while asking for money Went.

His waist was bent, hunger was floating in the wrinkles of his face. The eyes were sunken inward but were bright. Seeing him, I did not know what came to my mind that I asked him, pulling back the hand which was put in to take the coin out of my pocket.

"Grandma will you drink lassi?"

My grandmother was less surprised by this and my friends more. Because if I had given them money, I would have given only 5 or 10 rupees, but lassi is one of 30 rupees. So the chances of me becoming poor by drinking lassi and getting rich by that old grandmother duping me were very high.

Grandmother agreed hesitantly and with her trembling hands, she should extend the 6-7 rupees she had deposited with her. I did not understand anything so I asked him -

"What's this for?"

“Babuji, pay the money for my lassi by mixing them!”

I had become emotional just after seeing them…

All of a sudden my eyes twitched and with a stuffy throat I asked the shopkeeper to raise a lassi… He clenched his money back in his fist and sat down on the ground nearby.

Now I felt my helplessness because I could not ask them to sit on the chair because of the shopkeeper present there, my friends and many other customers.

I was afraid that no one would interrupt…somebody might object to a begging old lady sitting next to him…but the chair on which I was sitting was biting me…

Filling the lassi in the kuldas and coming in the hands of all our friends and old grandmother, I grabbed my kullad and sat on the ground next to the grandmother because I was free to do so…no one could object to this.

Yes! My friends stared at me for a moment… but before she could say anything, the shop owner went ahead and lifted her grandmother and made her sit on the chair and smiled at me with folded hands and said-

"Sit down, sir! I have a lot of customers here, but people come seldom."

Now everyone had a cup of lassi in their hands and a soft smile on their lips, there was only one grandmother who had tears of satisfaction in her eyes, a few bits of cream on her lips and hundreds of prayers in her heart.

Don't know why whenever we have to give 10-20 rupees to a hungry poor or spend it, it seems to us too much. But think whether those few rupees are more valuable than satisfying someone's mind?

Whenever you get the opportunity, keep doing such kind and compassionate acts whether someone supports you or not!

THANKYOU!!!

KEEP SUPPORTING!!!
