An old beggar used to come every Sunday to our house and we used to give him Rs.5/- every time he came for begging. One sunday, my wife and I had gone out and he came as usual. My son was young then (4 years) and he gave him a note of Rs.10/-.
The next Sunday, the beggar came and as usual, I gave him Rs.5/-. Seeing him not going, I asked what could be the reason? He knew my son because many times my son used to come to take his "ashirwad". He said to me: Last sunday, your son gave me Rs.10/- I want that you should know about it. I was a bit surprised. He could simply keep quite but he wanted me to know that my son gave him Rs.10/- instead of us giving him Rs.5/-. I admired him so much that I have him pants and shirt.
He was old and had a long beard, not from Goa which I could make out from his language accent. He came for some more days and then, we never saw him again.

A bit long one but you may like it .......................Dad paid me a visit in early April and I wanted to give him a treat with my purse .You know I'm basically a great miser but for Dad, I can sell my soul for giving him a grand treat. I booked a table in DC for just two of us (because Dad visited alone on a hurricane tour) and we were ushered to a table having three chairs. The restaurant was full to the brim because of weekend and there were people on wait, outside.
Dad ordered some appetizers and starter and permitted me to join the toast ( In India ,there is an orthodox culture where sons are not permitted to drink alcohol or even smoke in front of their parents )It was vodka and tonic for Dad and a glass of red wine for me . I just started sipping when I saw a cute little girl of 7/8 years looking here and there and located the vacant seat in our table and with her sweet tone requested me " Sir, can I sit here for sometime? I just want to have an ice-cream ... this restau ...more
