I don't know if it's the season or what. But suddenly a quote which I read about long long ago popped into my head. Here it is:
Practice random acts of kindness and sensless acts of beauty.
Some worthy called Adair Lara made this quote. I first read it in some article in the Reader's Digest. For some reason, it struck a deep chord in me and for sometime after that, I used to carry around a slip of paper with the quote on it in my pencil-case.
It feels wonderful to be at the giving end as well as the receiving end of an act of kindness, especially when it is least expected. A nice warm glow from within and your whole day looks up after that. Thinking back to those incidents makes me feel good again too!
Don't know why I thought about the quote. Don't know why I felt it necessary to write a about it. Only know that I should try to follow it from time to time.

And by the way, I liked your 20 somethings very much ... I still think u can be a good author :-) it just reminded me of the first blog I read on your site (not in content of course but in the way of writing).

Now does that fall under random acts of kindness;-)
Hmm, a sensless act of beauty would be some GOOD thing we do on the spur of the moment without thinking of the consequences. Am I making sense? Hmm, cant think of any examples off the top of my head :-(!
Saranya, serious ellam onnum illai. Appo appo I get this urge to put in a quote :-))!
Archana, thanks! If I ever do publish a book, I shall be sure to mention you in my acknowledgements :-)!
And waah, looks like blogger swallowed up one of the comments. Or came up with the wrong total. Or I have become partially blind. Whatever!
