Are we being human ?

"Pay the fine and take the receipt, else you have to accompany us to the nearest police station”, a harsh voice by the ticket inspector, got me goose-bumps.

Pity, these words were for the girl sharing the seat beside me in a government public transport bus. she tore her purse open in despair, only to find it had less money. Embarrassed and upset, tears rolled down her cheeks.
She did not have the total amount to be paid as fine. As a courtesy towards humanity, I helped her with a part of the fine.

My joy knew no bounds, just because I had helped a person in need.

When was the last time you helped a needy ? In today's busy lives, are we being human ?

Culture misunderstood

My client, a French lady visited our office. She was assigned a work place/cubicle next to my colleague Deepak. When he was about to rise from his chair he accidentally touched her leg with his feet. According to Indian culture, we tell sorry by touching them with fingers and those fingers back to eyes. He did the same. The French lady complained to the manager,"the guy who sits beside me first touched me with his leg, later on he took a step ahead and touched me with his fingers". :-o :-)

Heights of smart phone addiction

Protruding eyes towards me and a perfect O on the lips, my dad was staring at me. My question of what !! made him smile and utter these simple words "Heights of smartphone addiction".
I was using my thumb and the forefinger, to increase the size of font on the toothpaste box, to check the manufacturing date.
What was the height of smart phone addiction for you ?
