- 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!

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