Today, as I was entering a retail family showroom, the security
person, a man in his late fifties, folded his hands and greeted me with a
traditional 'namaste'. I conveyed my respect with the same gesture.
Just as I finished my shopping and I was heading out, he repeated the
gesture with a 'thank you, sir'. I stood for a moment, looked him in the
eyes and said with a smile, 'Thank you, sir. Happy Diwali to you.'
His eyes lit up and his smile broadening almost into a grin, he heartily said, 'Thank you, sir. Wishes to you too. Thank you.'
Looking at his smile, his happiness, and his voice exuding genuine
gratitude, I understood one thing today - Making people happy and
spreading smiles around aren't very difficult things really! :-)
Beautiful.!
