I purchased 2 kgs of Motichur laddoo (4 * 500 gms) with the intention of sharing with the office security staff and my colleagues, who were working on a festival day.
I however gave a few to the staff and customers at the sweet shop, and one to the security guard outside the building.
On my way to office, I took a u-turn to share the sweets with a traffic policeman. Found a hospital on the way (which I had recently visited) and gave a box to the security staff over there, asking them to share among themselves.
I then reached the signal and gave a sweet to the policeman, whose happiness knew no bounds.
Moving ahead, I stopped at the police station and shared a box with the staff over there.
Next I had to refuel my car at the petrol pump and ended up sharing sweets with the entire staff over there.
I was next at the office main gate and security check, where in I distributed the left over sweets to them.
Unfortunately I had nothing left for the office building staff/security and my colleagues, who were intended to be the original recipients of the sweets.
But the best part of this entire event was the happiness I saw in the face of those sweet shop staff, the customers, the security outside, the hospital security staff, the policeman, the police station folks, the petrol pump folks and the security folks at my office entrance. Everyone of them was grateful of this small surprise gesture of an unknown person.
I wish some of us do this often, at least on the day of a festival with those who are not privileged to enjoy with the family.
