Humanity is infectious

Today, the 28th January, presented me some beautiful moments in my life.

I called two young boys outside the hall and gave some instructions. During tea break in the morning both of them escorted Mr. Upendra J. Trivedi, one of the participants and brought him at the forefront. I called the junior most and senior most participants and requested them to present flowers to Mr. Trivedi with their Birthday wishes for him. Everyone wished jubilantly by his heart, as it was his last birthday in the bank since he will be retiring on the 31.01.2010. I offered Mr. Trivedi a Chocolate. The participants were shared toffies. Mr. Trivedi became very emotional and hugged me and said with sobbing eyes ,” In the bank till all these long years, my birthday was never celebrated in such a beautiful way,” and thanked all the participants in the class.

Just after distribution of the gift hampers in the evening when I said that the programme would be concluded shortly after the chairman’s speech. Two participants immediately stepped forward with two bouquets bought from the market during lunch time even within the tight time schedule and offered one to me and another to prasad giving a standing ovation to both of us commenting, “We took so many trainings in our lives but the experience we underwent during these two days was unique and was never forgettable in our lives. Thanks for giving so many beautiful things.”
