There are two kinds of people- one who needs and one who wants. New Year eve was a celebration day but we bunch of guys thought to enjoy it in quite different way which any normal person will hardly give even a thought to it. We were wandering the Mysore streets which typically looked like a gang with around twelve bikes and precisely three cars. Now before you arrives at any conclusion, let me make it very clear. We weren’t there just feeling the cool breeze, or enjoying the night life to welcome a new year.
We with bright eyes were searching for dull ones to make them alike. I hope you must have got it by now and if no, here is the context. Our motive was to ‘Bring A Smile’ to all the poor and homeless people who stay on roadside of Mysore. We all gathered at hotel Tender Roots near water tank with a couple of hunk bikes and definitely lots of people, roughly around 40 and went straight away to railway station area where we can actually expect people waiting for us. Along the way too, we found few people and blessed them with blankets, fruits and a pair of slippers.
As I mentioned in very first line, there were people who actually needed the things we were delivering and others, visualizing happenings around them wanted it. But it doesn’t matter, anyhow it is only for good cause. Then, we met a father with two kids who just wanted to return to his home but couldn’t because he didn’t had single penny and even if he had he must have spent it to feed the kids. One of our fellow members pulled some cash and simply placed in father’s hand and at the very moment rather keeping it with himself, he gave it to his daughter. It couldn’t be simply explained in words the thanksgiving and blessings which that person was showering upon us. There were many such incidents which can definitely give you goose bumps but very few of people would listen to their inner soul and follow their heart.
I am really thankful to people who gave me opportunity to celebrate New Year in a whole different way and let “Bring A Smile” to those for whom each day spent well is a boon. Great work, folks!!! Always keep that spirit in you and we will always be there. Kudos.
