The Samosa Seller
Anil [U.P., India] Now at UAE
This guy makes and sells Samosas on his bicycle. As I was walking aimlessly, met this guy. In fact he stopped seeing someone walking with a camera, and wanted a picture taken. The picture was taken, conversations were exchanged. And we were about to leave. Then this guy stopped after a few meters and returned to give me a free samosa! I am getting lessons on kindness from totally unexpected places for sure.
Now the kind man is the Samosa seller.
You must have made his day! :’)

Acts of kindness are mostly learnt from people with a generous means of life, the rest, well most of them who think they have money and hence are rich are actually the poor souls!

What are subs?

I subscribed you blog sometime ago through my WP Reader, then it’s disappeared. Since I didn’t get the notices from Reader, so I thought you have not been putting posts. I then re-subs a couple of days ago, your new post still didn’t show up.
This series is a well-thought one. it was hard for me to view, but I’m making myself to… I always believe that it takes kindness to recognize and accept kindness. 🙂

I kind of stopped many of my regular posts after the Dubai visit. Kind of got busy with other stuff. So with the samosa seller, it came to a temporary halt. Well I have talked a few people in the picture. Some wanted the picture back, so i had their contacts too. Do you want to know anything more?

Oh man you are so funny … I asked because it is not usual – for me at least – to be in contact with a chance ‘acquaintance’ but you are very very much a people person. Way to go. Now restart your people series. 🙂
