Let me tell you a little story of a rich Goan landlord
who once aked his parish priest-- 'Why does
everybody call me stingy when every one knows that
when I die I will leave everything I have to this church?'
The priest said; 'There once was a pig and a cow in this
village. The pig was unpopular and the cow was loved
by all in the village.
This puzzled the pig. The pig said to the cow, 'people
speak warmly of your good nature and your helpful
attitude. They think you are very generous
because each day you give them milk, butter and
cheese. But what about me?
I give them everything I have. I give them the famous
Goa sausages, bacon and ham. I also provide
ingredients for mouth watering sorpotel. Yet no one
likes me. Why is that?'
The priest continued:' Do you know what the cow
answered? '
The Cow said,* ' Perhaps it's because I give
while I am still living.'*

Hi!!!!
So true, why wait to give back something to the society only after passing on, there is so much to offer in our small little ways while we live. That way, we too will know the hapiness being spread and the hearts that we have touched in a journey called life.......

Dear Mr. Arvind Narvekar,
Very nice story! 
But at times you come across some queer eccentric people who give/gift something to you and later ask for or demand that gift back or simply take/snatch away the thing which is actually for you and gift that to some another friend, then in such you don't know weather to laugh /cry or fight you are just dumb as youdon't know what to do.----regards n luv,
Kalpita
