"Here, here ," she said, and stretched out a tissue to help me with the stain and a gooey mess the crow had left upon my blouse, there was my sister(Thank God for sistas !!) helping me out and here was another angel who saw us and in a blink she was upon us with her wet wipes, saving the evening for me, the citrusy smell of her wipe stayed with me all evening.Thank you girl !
Have you ever experienced such random deeds of kindness ? where for no apparent reason a stranger comes and helps you out and Just......disappears ? many a times I have been helped out and it amazes me that,I too want to spread the kind deed and see a smile on the face, and Goodness me ! the feeling is inexplicable
I was waiting to cross over the extremely busy street, the traffic was crazy, and I stood patiently for maybe ten minutes or more just waiting to get across, not knowing that I had a taxi driver who was watching me.
Taxi driver walked to me and asked me if he could drop me, "No,thank you, its just on the other side", I said with my glance swiftly back on the traffic waiting for a chance to cross the road.
"No, Maam, I am going across to the petrol pump across and I can drop you,"all complete with a gentle smile.
I was touched with this kind gesture and all morning had a smile pasted on my face,
Just goes to show us that a tiny little deed done by us can make a strangers day.
The most common place that we can show our kindness is the bus, almost everytime I get a seat, there will someone who will be standing and deserves that seat more than you, and the smile and huge thank yous you get are enough to fill the soul.
An elderly woman who could barely walk was slowly making her way to the taxi, but his cab was occupied, dejected she turned around to see my husband, who told her to wait at that same spot, he went at the busy junction and came along in a taxi, the joy on the ladys face ....unbelievable.
It warms the cockles of my heart to know that my kids too have learnt and mirror this, my daughter was so little when she was returning from school with her friend, and the streets were flooded all around, they took it upon themselves to reach a little girl from their school who travelled in their school bus, and could not find her way home with all the streets turned into one big ocean, they dropped her onto the other side of the pavement where she lived.
Many a times I see the kids, both passing on these deeds of kindness and it makes me realise that just a single act of kindness, can spread so much of cheer and happiness
These random deeds have a ripple effect and the goodness and cheer they bring upon an unexpected face.....BELIEVE ME, GO AHEAD, EXPERIENCE IT.
