Appreciate the Unexpected

There are times when a small act brings you so much joy...
Today is one such day for me.....

I had to go to the 3rd floor of my office building. Because I never use stairs(unless lift is not working), I was waiting for the lift to come down from 5th floor. There was another person waiting, a respectable gentleman, who I have never seen at my office before. He was in front of me.

When the lift finally came to the ground floor, without looking directly at me, he waited and gestured for me to step inside. It was like when we are kids, elders take care of us and want to ensure that we have boarded the bus before they come in.

It made my day. There was so much energy in me the whole day. In this age where people hate to stand in queues and can't imagine someone moving ahead of them, here is someone who still knows how to show care....

Life throws you unexpected moments and I am happy I am able to appreciate it.

Cheers,
Bindhu!!
