Searching for gratitude

A friend once told me' it doesn't cost to be kind.' There was a whole debate going on in my mind if it doesn't cost, then why are we not kind? I wish there was a price tag attached to kindness, atleast we would be in a position to buy it.

Times have really changed, everything is taken for granted. If you look at democracy, it is taken for granted, comforts taken for granted, relations taken for granted and even life is taken for granted. The attitude today is if i have it, it is fair otherwise unfair.

I miss those genuine thank you which were the most precious gifts to receive.The Britishers did an amazing job by inventing these magical words.Its works like a jaadu ki jaapi, in a age where even a hug is a style statement and not a i like you statement.

A new term is evolving in marketing known as flash mob.It is when a group of people assemble in a public place to perform a dance or any small act to spread happiness or a social message. Will we have to resort to this to spread happiness?

Something that was natural has become processed and packaged. My advice - thank for all the small things in life because they ultimately become big and spread it like a viral which gets 1 million clicks.

  11. nice to see you writing after a long tym.....

    the reason ppl are not being kind or behave like tht is that they have bcom materialistic in this highly competitive wrld....if they seek any profit out of it they wud surely be kind to u or else they wud juz show their back to u !!!

    so even if sum1 deserves tht kind behavior or gratitude he/she is not given the same....

    keep writing :) waiting to see the next blog soon and get inspired :)
