He stood there giving away food packets to the poor. They all had a grateful grin on their faces. They could eat for today without worries, and then think about tommorrow. This is none other than my father in law. He has been a source of inspiration for me for how not be selfish! We have seen and heard many people , who give away to the poor,but if there is one person , i know, who is an embodiement of selflessness…that would be him. I have heard him say many times, ‘god has given us the strenght to work and earn well…only so that we can help the needy. We don’t need keep for ourselves anything that is not a necessity’ These words which he keeps repeating time and again have started to carve a niche in my brain. Today is the 5 th anniversary of the day he started daily food supplies to atleast to 10 poor people everyday. Today we, along with him ,gave a 100 food packets away to the needy. While some people like me are really proud of him and revere him, there are others as well who criticize him saying he is only feeding those who are too lazy to work. Yes. That is an arguable point , i thought at first. But when i saw the satisfied smile those people gave him whenever they got food packets…it erased all my doubts. I felt , yes, so this is what drives him beyond all criticism. He might not be giving away lakhs of rupees like celebrities (who by the way have turned it into a fashion trend) , but he still strives to make sure , the people in his immediate environment are as happy as him. So , today , the day i write my first blog…i did like to salute this man, my father in law, who to me is an embodiement of selflessness. Its people like these who help us find the sunny side to life………
