Language No Bar.

Very touching writeup shiva. You are great. I imagined, the lady with kid , who appeared in front of you, must be a God. Almighty God is present everywhere, even within you. You are such a lovely person, who will get all the blessing from God. :thumbsup

 

Dear Shiva
Your snippet of these particular incidents make me feel you a respectable person.Not everyone have the attitude of giving others when they themselves are passing through a sort of bad period.You had that with in you and God's goodwill is always with you.

 

Shiva, very well written and does speak a lot about you as a person - so intune with others. We walk around most days without even paying attention to the smile, the upturned lip or frowned brows of people.

This also reminded me of an incident we had while living in Turkey long ago. We went to visit a place in the interiors of the country, had no knowledge of the language and just knew the name of the place. When we stopped and asked a stranger (we were very very young then and I was naive enough to dress in traditional Churidars and looked very foreign ofcourse) he felt very bad that he could not explain to us in English. Instead of walking away after trying to tell something in Turkish, he took my DH by hand and walked with us for about 10mins, boarded the bus and took us to the place where we had to catch the connecting bus. We were very thankful to him and could only express so much. Reached the place and while taking the ride up the hill we met another person who spoke with us only with hand gestures explaining and making us look here and there and pointing things out - we would have missed all of that if he had not pointed it out. My husband was so happy to communicate the same way with the person and showed his appreciation. We just assumed that this person also understood that we didnot know Turkish and hence was speaking with gestures. We also took some pictures with him to thank him and imagine our surprise when after getting down we realised he really could not speak!! Even to this day we feel we communicated the best with him. It was the universal language of brotherhood and love.

 

Shiva
Yours is a timely contribution at a time when a lot of people are out of jobs and frustrated.
The timely act of kindness you extended to the mother of nine kids and
the thoughtfullness of your neighbour are very reassuring. Thanks for sharing these experiences
