God in Small things..



It was morning 9:45, and I was as usually struck in the traffic jam.  I was again upset with the traffic though the old songs CD kept me going, and gave me a feel good factor. In one of the traffic signals, I incidentally came across this message behind an auto - "Herigege Uchita", meaning - "Free for passenger going for a delivery".  This message made me restless till I found my mobile to take a pic of the auto. Later, I was constantly thinking about the importance of this message - I was literally blown away by the contribution that this auto guy would be doing.

I am sure, that the auto driver would have known how critical it is to take the mother to the hospital at the right time for delivery.  The first thought one would get when they see such a message, is that he is actually helping the poor. What many of us fail to recognize is the uncertainty we carry everyday when we leave our house. I can see lot many cases where affordability is not the problem, but availability of cash that would be the issue. Imagine a lady who is carrying, just forgot to take her purse to the office, and she suddenly gets delivery pain - she would know the value of the service this auto guy would be doing.

To keep it short, this auto guy, whoever it is, made my day. I actually feel so privileged to leave amongst such people. I am sure they would find GOD in Small things..
