Recently I have come across a sentence, which reads, “I am not a handsome but I have a hand for someone.” How wonderful and meaningful these words. Often we consider, helping others mean in term of giving money or material goods. But in reality we can reach out to many people just by giving our time. There are many around us who want their stories to be listened. Or even just a smile could make a difference in other’s life.
Years back, after the three attempts I could enter the Indian High Commission to submit my application form for visa. As I was leaving the premises of the High Commission, I met a boy with a gloomy face. Out of my curiosity I asked him what was wrong with him. He told me that he had tried to enter the High Commission for the last few days but he could never enter because the queue was too long. He was about to give up the hope of submitting the application, though he was badly need of the visa. I had no salutation to offer him. I just asked him to try one more time and I assured him that he would get through this time. After exchanging our contact numbers I left the spot. Within an hour, I received a call from that particular boy, informing me that he had managed to enter the High Commission and submitted his application. He was overjoyed and thanked me for the advice. I felt shy as I had done nothing for him. This made me to think that how we could reach out to people with our simple words. The world is in need of you and me…Are you ready to reach out to others!
