My niece gives a parcel to my son when she comes to visit.
He opens it and peers inside. I ask him what it contains.
He says, Biscuits and Gulab Jamun.
I ask, Did you say Thank you?
He shakes his head with an embarrassed smile.
He comes to me and whispers loudly, Can I have the Gulab Jamun now?
I nod, beaming.
My niece has got her Thank You.
So apt.
Thank You has really lost it true meaning. Most of us, say just for the sake of it.
Just like " Say Sorry, only when u feel it" One should say thanks only when it comes from the bottom of the heart.
And like that lil boy did – there are other ways of thanking, that mean more. So why just say it, do it and let the other person know.
