An act of kindness

Mere ghar se thore aage bachhon ka aik elementary school hai - jis ke saath aik chota sa park aur jheel hai - jahan sham ke waqt log 'walk' aur 'jogging' kerte hain.

Kul sham main 'drive' kerke ghar ki taraf aa raha tha ke - main ne dekha, aik 'old chinese couple' jinki umer 70 ya 80 baras hogi -school ke aas paas- walk ker rahe hain aur unke haaton main aik theli hai - aur unhe jahan koi kachra (trash) nazar aata hai, woh use utha lete hain.

Ye aik bari aam si baat thi magar main bara impress huwa. Na to unka ye amal kisi sarkari daftar se 'acknowledge' hoga - na'hi unhe 'community association' ne aesi koi zimedari saunpee hai - magar chunke woh apne 'neighborhood' ko saaf suthra rakhna chahte hain unhon ne is umer main bhi aik choti si zimedari khud hi utha li !! Sach hai insaan naik amal ke liye kabhi burha nahi hota.

aap ko nahi lagta - ye bohat bara amal hai? - Mujhe aesa lagta hai...

I heartttt : )

such beautifullness. Aur ismain aur bhi khaas baat yeh hai kay woh donoun saath kar rahaye thay. Amoman people might feel selfconscious doing any good or bad deed. But when there are people to do it with you are more stronger.

Unless you're a superwoman like jolie :p

I want to grow budhi with a budha and feed ducks.

This was very funny but interesting statement: "I want to grow budhi with a budha and feed ducks"

Well that is really great act, I'm really feeling unfortunate that we're so far away from our religion which teaches exactly the same thing and you know in our teachings it is a real good act to clean the ways and remove any kind of obstacle that disturbs people in any way. But we don't follow it and that is why we're not considered good anywhere!

unfortunately kyoun :D...koi bhi insaan achi teachings follow karaye tou garvv ki baat hai...true unki reason khidmat e khalq hai without thought to Allah.

Zindagi bhai i read something veryy interesting lately..had wanted to share with you. I have to take this oh soo boring ethical course..seems like baatain bananaye kay liye course bana gaya hai :p. But they actually did a few experiments where they had individuals (religious figures) PRAyyyy for a sick person. A specific sick person. The study was double blind so patients did not know they were being prayed for. And it resulted that those that had been given prayers fared much better in health and recovered : ). Interesting experiment hai na. Lol leave it to the sociologists to come up with an experiment to "test" metaphysical ideas.

First of all..lol to "Zindagi bhai" - funny term...

Second, I heard of this study before. But - there are studies too negating power of prayers like this

But personally, I believe from my own experiences that "Dua/Prayers" help....
