Hi Friends,
Have you ever wondered that why we work so hard? Why
everyone gets up early to go to work and spends whole life in struggling in one
way or the other. The answer is food. Just imagine that we can survive on earth
with just air (no eating/drinking) do you think than anyone will work? No
right. We are so lucky that we can afford best living conditions, food. But there
are so many around us who work much hard but are not earn to provide for proper
food. I would like to share with you all a memorable incidence from my life when
I followed my heart to make someone feel special.
My house is on one corner of Wide Street and in the corner of
that street there is a small house in which reside 5-6 workers who work in
factories, shops. They use to work in the factories for long hours and were getting
meagre wages. With their little earnings they had to support their families who
were living back in village. What I pity most about that even after working so
hard they were not able to have good food. My family, neighbors offered help
but they were so dignified that they just don’t accept. On festivals sometimes
they will eat food at my home but otherwise they won’t come because of their
dignity. They were like even if we are poor we don’t want to go to others house
to have food. I wondered at times if there could be a way to help them.
In front of our house there used to be an empty plot which
sometimes people will use for small family functions, dinners. I think it was
November of 2002 when someone decided to plan a wedding in that small plot. We all
were shocked as that was small place how a wedding could be planned. Somehow the
decorators were able to fix the area well for wedding. By the time all
decorations were completed we all just couldn’t believe that this was the same
plot. There was a lavish dinner organized in the night for all guests. We all
were invited and were having fun on our own. All of sudden I felt in my heart
that I should go to that small house and call those factory workers to have
food in the party. I immediately rushed to the house to call them. When I reached
there, they were planning to cook their dinner. I called them that instead of
cooking they can have food in the party. They replied that they are not
invited. I told them invite isn’t needed, to which they said last time someone
told them not to eat there that’s why they will not come. I came back with
heavy heart and discussed with my father about the same. I requested him to
talk to the host to invite them to dinner. My father talked to the host of the
party and he agreed. In fact he himself went to the house to invite them for
the dinner. They all came and very shyly had food in the corner. They were very
happy. I could see that in their eyes. I was so happy that day that my little
effort could bring smile to their faces for a day.
It was my way of making someone feel special, how about
yours?
