The other day, I was buying sweets for my son when a young child walked up tome and asked if I could buy him a plate of noodles. I was speechless as the kid didn’t ask for anything but noodles. I asked the shopkeeper to prepare a dish of noodles for him. I waited, as I wanted to see the joy on his face, and of course, it was worth the wait. The kid finished it quickly and thanked me with as mile.

Many of us enjoy the good fortune that life has graced us with. We continue living in our world of happiness and contentmen­t. We also pray and thank god for showering us with all the good things in life. But have we ever thought of sharing our blessings with others who are not as fortunate as us? Have we ever thought how we could bring as mile to someone face?

There are many ways of sharing, and it need not be monetary, always. We can share our good thoughts, which would help people emotionall­y. We can show kindness towards others and feel grateful to them for allowing us to feel good about ourselves. If we have enough financial means, then we can adopt a needy child and contribute towards her education.

It is worth even if you can bring a smile to one person and make a change in her life. We should never procrastin­ate such acts because there is always someone eagerly waiting for our help. Our humble gesture would surely bring hope and shine light in the lives of many.
