As I limped back to my office today, I realized that when you do good, you will get it back in some form or the other. I am a regular with my Breakfast and Lunch menu at my office cafeteria. I have a paper plain dosa in the morning and a nice, crunchy salad for lunch. The two gentlemen who prepare this are very friendly and always greet and receive a smile. They know I am a regular and even after 5 weeks of absence, they recognized me. I am one of 5000 employees who walk in and out of that office every day. They serve hundreds of customers every day. What are the odds of them remembering me? Just a small smile and a heartfelt greeting every day made so much difference.
I was limping my way to the dosa counter and he enquired about my health and why I had missed 15 dosas! My colleagues helped me escape the counters and brought me the food coupons. For lunch, when I walked up to the salad counter, he asked me about my leg and said he would bring it to me himself and that I should take rest. He even sent someone to bring a spoon for me. A seemingly small gesture, but that made my day. He needn't have done that. He needn't have cared about the fact that I would have had to walk back to get a spoon. He was so thoughtful that he even made his friend get an extra spoon also for my colleague. A spoon for me. That is the best thing someone has done for me today. I shall remember small, random acts of kindness and will pass it on. Ed Sheeran correctly says love is all that is needed to bring peace to the world, but who am I to say so, huh?
Think about it and pass the spoon on.
Cheers!
