Humbled!

It's very rare in one's life that one comes across humbling experiences.You do something inadvertently and it ends up having positive impact on the lives of some people.

One such incident happened in my life. It all started with this post.

Fast forward few days later, an old woman in late 60's walked up to me, with hands folded and with tears in her eyes. This patti  is wife of kalkandu thatha mentioned in that blog. She was so happy that i had written about her husband. I was informed that she was waiting to see me for days and was inquiring about me.
    I received couple of messages in facebook-from sivakasi to UK - all from the sons ,daughters and grandsons of kalkandu thatha. All of them were happy that i had written about him.I came to know his name was jeyaraj and he was a rice merchant. His daughters spoke from sivakasi and they explained how they were above the moon for days.Nevertheless to mention, i haven't even meet or heard about any of them.
       Thanks to all of them who read my so-called self proclaimed "writings" .Our problem is there are good people very close to us in our day-to-day life but we never realize or appreciate them in either in our life time or in their life time.
