Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Day Full of Kindness

Kindness started at PapayaCare in the morning continued throughout the day.

I printed some quotes to be written on the white board at the PapayaCare during my absence. I am very happy that one of the PapayaCare residents will write the quotes during my four day absence. Along with printed quotes, I gave whiteboard markers and a rag to clean the white board. I thanked him and Sai Baba for making him ready to write the quotes.

PapayaCare caregiver brought my heavy bag and a box to the groundfloor. I thanked him.

Mr. V of PapayaCare has become my friend. He called Uber for me and asked another caregiver to put my bag and a box in the taxi. I thanked both of them.

I greeted the Uber taxi driver with a smile and good morning,. I told him intense positive thinking story that shows how a wife’s unwavering faith in God saved her husband and Fatema’s story that shows how a quote card changed her life for the better and my experiences with positive thinking. I gave him quote cards. He also brought my bag and a box down from the taxi after reaching AMA. I thanked him and gave him a tip with the fair.

A security officer at AMA escorted my bags to the hall. I thanked him and gave quote cards. I greeted friends with smiles. I gave some quote cards and bookmarks to attendees. I am grateful to Mr. Ramesh Tanna and his wife Anitaben personally came to me to  greet me with smiles and “Namaste: respect. They arranged the program termed as “Vidhya Utsav” - Celebration of Intelligence to express joy and gratitude on Anitaben getting PhD degree.

While leaving AMA ,an angel - a gentleman escorted me and my heavy bags to the rikshaw and called my friend S to make sure of his location. I gave him a bunch of bookmarks to share with other attendees. I am grateful to him.

I greeted my friend and his family with smiles. We had a nice family talk. I gave a clipboard, pens, a pencil, notebooks , compass box and a box of Golpapdi made by PapayaCare kitchen staff. My friend’s wife prepared food for us. She specially made shiro - my favorite food. We had a nice lunch together. My friend and his son handled my bag and a box. I am grateful to all of them.
