Second to none

Course of my work took me to a lower division court house today and for those who have not been to courts in India it is an experience. Add to that a lower division court in India !!! Teeming with humanity, is what some would call it but it was a slow day today, only a couple of thousands jostling for space to get their work done.
I came across a person who was distributing "Prasad" (Blessed sweets) to all he came across. He would dig out a handful from his big "jhola" (handbag) and with a smile pass on small portions to all with a beaming and content face. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why he was doing this? What did he do for living? I do not know but I admit that I could see his contentment in doing just what he was doing and getting pleasure form the simple act.
I admired his self confidence and approach to life - at least for that brief period - offering Prasad, without any apparent motive, to all without thought of any discrimination or priority. Life like that can be lived only when you are strong within.
