ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS "GIVE", TO MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY

   I HAD GONE TO BUY SOME DINNER FOR MYSELF AT A RESTAURANT. I PLACED MY ORDER AND WAS WAITING FOR MY PARCEL TO GET READY. AS I WAS WAITING, I SEE THIS OLD WOMAN SITTING ON THE STAIRS OF THE RESTAURANT AND COUNTING COINS,WHICH I GUESS SHE  HAD COLLECTED AFTER BEGGING ON THE STREETS. SHE WAS HARDLY ABLE TO WALK.MY PARCEL WAS PREPARED IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. I TOOK IT AND CAME OUTSIDE . JUST WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE I SEE THIS OLD WOMAN ASKING THE WORKERS IN THE RESTAURANT FOR SOME WATER. AFTER PLEADING FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, SHE WAS GIVEN A GLASS OF WATER. THEN SHE GOT UP FROM THE STAIRS WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY AND CAME TOWARDS ME. SHE CAME TO ME AND ASKED FOR SOME MONEY. I GAVE HER SOME CHANGE WHICH I HAD, AFTER WHICH SHE STARTED WALKING AWAY. BUT THE MOMENT SHE HAD COME TO ME, I COULD SEE HUNGER IN HER EYES. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, THIS TIME IF I WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE HER SOMETHING TO EAT, I WOULD REGRET MY WHOLE LIFE THINKING THAT WHEN I HAD A CHANCE TO MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY I DINT. SO I WALKED TO HER AS FAST AS I CAN AND ASKED HER " WOULD YOU LIKE TO EAT SOMETHING?". SHE ASKED "WHAT?" . I REPLIED "WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DOSA WHICH I JUST BOUGHT FROM THAT RESTAURANT?". HER INSTANT REPLY WAS "YES. YES I WOULD EAT ". IT MADE HER HAPPY.  I GAVE HER ONE PACK  OF DOSA FROM MINE. SHE TOOK IT AND WALKED AWAY SMILING. BUT WHAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER IS HER SMILING FACE.
SOMETIMES ALL YOU YOU NEED TO MAKE YOURSELF AND SOMEONE ELSE HAPPY IS TO SHARE THE LITTLE THINGS YOU HAVE WITH THEM. 
THAT DAY I MIGHT NOT HAVE SATISFIED MY HUNGER BY SHARING MY FOOD WITH SOMEONE BUT SURELY THIS INCIDENT CAN MAKE ME HAPPY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
(STOP WASTING FOOD BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DIE OF HUNGER DAILY )
