The Old Man and the card saver

Tweet

Life is full of complexities. Yet, it is also full of simple things which bring joy to our mind and heart. Today, an Old Man did a transaction at an ATM. After the transaction completed, he forgot his Debit card in the ATM card slot. He started walking away. He had gone a little far, but a much younger, some 40+ man came running after and handed him his card. It was good for that old man, else he would have known it a little later, and who knows the card might have been misused. Or else, the Old man would have needed to call Customer care centre and follow a long process. I do not know who the old man was. Yet I know that 40+ someone. Guess.... Still guessing... It was I. Is it self-bragging(if such a word exists). Or is it fine to tell this here? Perhaps, I cannot decide. Yet I felt happier. I did something good. It did not earn me profit. The old man did not know my name, he would forget my face. Yet I feel good about it. Perhaps, we all can do such little things, and yes, God gives us a chance to do all this. Didn't Lord Krishna said "Do your deeds, forget about the fruits!"
