One of my best experience in my life so far. I usually see this old lady lying on the stairs, seems like she is in her 80s. Lean and thin, dark skinned, wearing a white saree, I cant say it is saree coz it was partially torn. She sits at Guindy railway stations entrance in Chennai. I cant call her a beggar because my heart doesnt feel to say that. She is a woman who has lost everything in her life. She doesnt have anyone to care in her old age. Unlike our parents, she cant say to anyone to buy her a nice cloth. The way she looked exactly told the number of days she was hungry. I used to go to my BPO office touching the Railway station. And i dont know what personally attracted me by seeing her. I just felt as if she was my own grandma lying on the station stairs. I hardly give money to beggars who beg me. In turn, I use to give who really need it, mostly old women. And this grandma didnt beg with anyone. she just sat there hoping someone will throw any penny in front of her. Like every man, I too went to her, saw her face. I think she had cried all her life. Her eyes were really deep and tears had become a part of her eyes. I handed her my Towel and kept a 10rupee note on that and i went. The other day, again i gave her another 10 and i went. For at least 10 days, I did this everyday and it had become a routine. Then came the 11th day. Perhaps, this was one of the most wonderful days of my life. Same place, Same station, Same grandma and same me. As usual, I quickly went to her to give the 10rs Note to her. But this time when i kept the note in front of her, she looked at my face for the first time. I cant tell you how I felt. Her eyes were wet as usually, but this time she was smiling. She didnt say anything. She just held her hand on my head and blessed me. I was dumbstruck. I felt as if I was the most luckiest person that day. Seeing her smile and her blessing, somewhere i dont know, I missed my grandma and I felt what real Love is. I quickly went after she removed my hand from my head coz i was getting late to my office. And yea, one drop of tear did come from my eye. This might have happened with several of guys between us. If not, try helping others. The person who is in need is actually who wants support from us. There are millions of old grandmas lying on the streets in your city. Give them a hand. Do what youre capable of. Because, someone has said this true, God helps those who help themselves. #Anonymous #Yanaa :)
