Babies on Planes
The flight that I was on had these two babies less than a year old, probably twins, who were howling loudly. They were probably uncomfortable with their first flight. Everyone in the plane was disturbed with the loud crying. The poor parents were having a really really tough time and didn't know what to do to help the kids calm down. Both the mother and father stayed peaceful with the babies.
Even though almost every passenger on the plane was disturbed, no one said anything which to me was a sign of supreme patience and kindness of strangers that goes unnoticed. I want to thank all of you who have a large heart and stay patient and tolerant when facing such issues in public places. When the flight landed, I went and patted the father's arm and told him that I thought that both of them were wonderful parents. He laughed and thanked me for the compliment. His laughter made my day!

Police > Gratitude
.jpeg)
Yesterday I wrote a mail to several senior police officers of my city thanking them for all that they do. I feel that their job is very tough. They deal with all the negatives of the society, the works seems very twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, in all weather conditions. Also, their jobs could be very dangerous.
Yet no one says thank you but instead one only hears about the negative aspects of the police. Usually the media reports one case that might not be solved, and neglects to mention the hundreds of others that might have been solved, or cases where the police was very efficient.
So as a citizen of the city, I wrote a mail expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all people who work with the police.

Gratitude + Leveraging Networks
I sent a mail thanking a not for profit for all the work they do to protect the environment in India. I have a large network of relationships which I have been saving for a "rainy day" :-) But now I am beginning to think that its useless to collect relationships if these relationships cant be used to serve people. So keeping this in mind, I wrote positives reviews for a friend my linkedin profile so that all the people who are in my network can know about her. She has been looking at raising funds for her organization so maybe this helps in some way.
