Real India

You want to know about real India? It's in the hearts of the people. Before going into what's latest in India, I would like to relate a small story.

A friend of mine was having a bad day. Nothing had worked out right. She was just pondering over this and walking disorientedly back from the market when her sandal broke. She couldn't stop. She needed to get home soon for some reason. But with every step, she was stumbling and it was becoming clear that she would fall soon. Suddenly, she heard a call "Beti, come here and let me attach the strap". It was the mochi. She hesitated...she didn't have a lot of time. The mochi misunderstood the hesitation. "Arre don't worry about the money. No need to pay. But let me at least stop your stumbling". She said she was ina hurry and he fixed it in a jiffy. Of course she coudl afford to pay for the fixed sandal. But she couldn't repay the kindness of the mochi...
