Along the way!



I was aware of the sudden storm at night. The first thing I did in the morning, once I got up from the bed, was to go around the campus. I was sad to see a few trees fell down. I was trying to calculate the amount of money we must have lost. At that time, someone rang our main gate bell. I went to the gate and found our breadwalla(the man who supplies our bread) came with bread. On seeing him, I said, “Oh dada (hello brother), a few good trees have fell down because of the heavy storm of last night. I am so sad.”
“You are crying for your trees,” he smiled and said.  “My mud house was completely gone. I could not sleep last night with my family members.”
I had nothing to say. But it was a great ‘thought-provoking’ conversation for me. How often we are busy with our little world? But if we look around and thank God for all that we have, we will find this world a much better place to live!
