Let me do my little...

What you give comes back to you in the circle of life…

- Padma V

Like a little girl, I was jumping with joy and bubbling with enthusiasm, when I set out to visit my parents along with my husband. We held a bag each and entered the AC compartment of the train. Behind me entered a thin man with a lot of luggage. I held the door open to enable him to get in. He pushed his luggage in and rather rudely told me to continue holding the door open because he had to fetch some more luggage. He didn't even have the courtesy to thank me as he pushed himself in, with all the luggage. My loving and over-protective husband was already getting angry with me for helping the rude man. In a hushed voice, I said, "It's okay, let me do my little..." After we settled down in our seats, my husband began lecturing in our mother tongue. I gestured to him to keep quiet because these days people understand most languages.
