My friend Sharan who had come for a vacation to Bangalore was leaving in two days to Texas. Traditionally, people shop during the first few days of their vacation but Sharan did all his shopping exactly one day prior to his departure. So all of us wore our sports shoes, because there would be a lot of running about.
When we went to a Nike showroom Sharan bought a pair of tracks costing 899 rupees. Sharan gave him 900 rupees and took the bill without asking for his one rupee (which is what all of us if not most of us do).
That same evening, I went to eat some bondas with my mum. The bill was 13 rupees and the shopkeeper gave me only 6 rupees saying he does not have any change. Instantaneously, I gave him 2 rupees more and asked him to give me another bonda.
THE REALIZATION:After eating my last bonda,I suddenly realized how we had left one rupee at the Nike showroom without even asking for it once and here I was asking for another bonda just because he did not give me my one rupee. That just left me with one question 'Who needs this one rupee more?', Is it the man behind the cash counter in an AC showroom or this man toiling every single night in his small, dimly lit shop?
