There was this poor lady with two of her little children at a nearby juice shop.. she asked for one glass of juice.. and then to make two of it using an empty glass. It felt so nice to see the man at the shop filling both glasses three-fourths.
[Let me make it clear that all through my life i have hated all those beggers who could rather work to earn their livelihood.. and those more who give them money. But these people were no beggers- they paid for what they did ask for.. and no one could ever pay for what they actually got.]
""""""""""

I like that 'Hi' by the humanities' teacher on the rare occassions when we the students show up our face.. that "you guys are irrepairable, but i'd repair you by the end of this semester" she says with a smile conveying she doesn't mean it [oh god, what if she means it? :( .].. and that "thank you" by her when i submitted the book review yesterday.. a week after the due date.[now that is too much of a nicety.. and u might say that excess of everything is bad! Anyways, this whole paragraph is quite off-context]
""""""""""

Had no contact with this friend (who once used to be quite close a friend of mine) for more than 4 years till he caught me some time back on a networking site ['orkut' sounds so bad ever since I started blogging :)].. still had almost no exchange of words, in any form.. and three days back i took his number from the same site.. dialled it at midnight.. and wished him a happy birthday! He was so surprized to hear from me after 4 long years.. and so full of cheers.. and i was enjoying his surprise. Why don't we let others and ourselves have such joys more often? [now this line is a stolen one :)]

orkut' sounds so bad ever since I started blogging :

Same here.. esp with lot of bad name orkut has earned..it looks disrespectful."Social networking site" looks a really cool terminology to tell ppl. :)
