Tha auto driver and the crows

Today morning, while passing the autostand.
The autodriver places food on the compound wall. And calls KaKaKaKa to the crows.
And as they fly down, he welcomes, "Vaa Arumugan, Vaa Ravi, Vaa Meenakshisundaram ..."
Further down the other auto driver comes in his auto with his two large cans of sambar rice for the dogs and cats which await him ever morning at the turning. As he opens the cans, he teases them. "It's empty thambi !"
Simple unnoticed acts of living and giving.
That keep the earth spinning on its axis.
Acts done in simplicity and humility and out of all visibility.

For the past many years, all my learnings I have learnt from the (so called) common people of this land ...
