It was a hot summer day at ITO, one of the busiest places in New Delhi.I was at the bus stop waiting for the next bus for my office.I was thirsty but I could not leave the queue for water lest I would miss the Bus.

Suddenly I felt a tapping on my hands and saw a little girl trying to sell her flowers to me.Frustrated, I grumbled something and ignored her rudely.

Discouraged by my dry demeanor, she vanished but only to come back with a bottle of water and raised it towards me.Surprised, I immediately grabbed it , paid for it and downed the entire bottle in a go.

Happy with her gesture, I took out Rs.50 note, extending it as a tip towards her and said, Go Enjoy!

She stared at the note and then at me, totally unmoved by the offer and uttered, I think I will enjoy more when I am able to help others in need.Kindly keep this back , as I would be able to relish your compliments more than money.Having no words to say, I silently put the money back in my wallet.

Indeed, It was her, who had offered something more significant to me today- Thought-provoking words of wisdom from an underprivileged child striking deep emotional chords within me.

The girl left, running to sell her flowers to other people around as my bus arrived and I boarded.Her words echo vividly in my mind and I conciously try to relate with those.

The gravity of her thoughts created lasting vibes that still resonate within me, even today.
