Help and move on....don't look back!


  • Do you recall how it felt when you helped an old woman with heavy luggage at a railway station or airport? 
  • How was the feeling when you stood up and offered your seat in a bus to a lady with kids? 
  • Do you remember those scores of students who surrounded with questions and sought your advice after your talk? How did it feel when you answered all those? 
  • How was the feeling of extending a hand to the person who fell off from a bike?
  • What was the experience when you went to nearby old age home and served them with food? 

As I recall, every such moment added a fresh meaning to my existence. I experienced pure joy of doing my bit to help others...

There was not even a momentary expectation of any returns from them. The joy diminishes and the grief starts only when you know them, and therefore expect a favor, gratitude etc. It hurts badly when you extend help to known people (and thereby expecting a sense of reverence or gratitude) and they do not acknowledge! 

The beauty lies in doing your bit ...not even thinking what they will do in return! 

Choose those people who are 'no body', offer your help and simply walk away!
