What a nice man.
He’d come to take the rent cheques early morning because that’s the best time traffic-wise.
Now he could have just taken them, and said good day, thank you, but he didn’t.
He checked how we were doing, if we were happy, how many people ask you that?
“The place looks neat! Much brighter! What’s new?”
Nothing is new, perhaps the green curtains are, but I was all smiles.
Doesn’t take much, does it?

Did you have a nice Diwali?
You are so right. A little girl smiled at me in passing the other day, and it made my day! A simple smile.

What a pleasant post! It is indeed a good thing to remember. And, come to think of it, I need to tell you...
You are much like that man... you brighten my day when I vist you or you comment on my blog. Thank YOU for your efforts.

crusty- yes, diwali was good. suddenly makes your whole day brighter.
portia- such simple warmth, na? :)
PT- what a completely wonderful thing to say! Thank you so much! But I scold, heckle and advise you much too much entirely.
Manu- here's one for you.:) begged off the tag.
