Today morning I went to Sri Kapali Temple, Mylapore for worshipping Lord Durga --normally I visit on Tuesdays whenever I am not going to colleges for taking classes --After that I went to a shop to buy a few cloth clips. ok. then I went to a shop where I bought groundnut cakes two days back --I told him that there were insects in the packet I bought two days back. I did not ask for refund but I cautioned him because he was having a huge stock of those packets.
then I went to a super market and asked for sugar one kg. the girl who was there said it will take one hour - it is being packed. she wanted me to get out of the place because she was busy picking articles for a person who has given a big list.
then I came to a provision shop -- a good shop -- they also collect courier posts -- as I was entering the shop four beggar women were standing causing obstruction -- this affected my attention and then I went inside and asked for sugar. The owner's daughter who was sitting in the cash counter took out a Re10 note and gave it to her servant for giving to beggar women.
In the neantime the elderly shopkeeper brought a packet of sugar. I saw Haldiram Matri and bought that also. I gave a 100 rupee note. The girl sitting in the counter --returned that stating -- have you not given money earlier--. I said yes and I appreciated the girl. The confusion I think is due to lack of concentration.
Yes. This world consists of nearly 90% honest people like that girl. Have you had similar experiences? Share your ideas.

Hello ravi,
I always admire people who are honest, in every aspect.
Yes,I have lots of experience wherein people returned extra money when we paid something.
Or other things.
In our local church - I left my mobile phone few times.
Due to over confident that none will stole it since it is inside church premises.
but still, not all believers are honest and God-fearing in the real essence.
I am always thankful that, those people who came to pick/saw my mobile phone are really honest in the real essence of the word "honest".

YES. it is because they get things in church --people may not like to take it however good it may. apart from that you were also lucky to get them back. good day.

When we are on the moment, normally we give it back. I think it's more like our conscience is telling us not to cheat or be greedy, and don't take advantage of the person. Recently when we went to buy our groceries, we had bought an item where we would get a free item and a 1.5 L of coke. After paying on the counter, we went to the booth to claim the free stuff. So she gave us a fruit holder and two bottles of coke. My brother showed her the receipt to tell her that she have given two bottles instead of just one. So there she took back the coke. She might get in trouble if they do the inventory so I guess it's better to just give it back.

It is good that your co worker gave you the wallet missed by you. You are right it is nice to be good to others. If we speak the truth we will not have tension. On the contrary if we tell lies, we must remember what are the lies told by us. good day.
