Story with a Reminder

I was having a regular call with one of my favorite school teacher Mrs. Archana mam and she told me that our senior hindi teacher was retiring. Initially, I acted like every other student. Then my teacher expressed her desire and asked me to make a gratitude video for her. I said no initially, but upon realizing her willingness to create a memorable day for our senior teacher, I could not resist. So, she texted a few more students and asked them as well. I asked my friends too, but they said no, and a few kind friends agreed. They sent me their videos, and I edited and sent them to mam.

So, the intention behind sharing this story is a reminder of expression. When people die, we express our emotions and gratitude, but when a person is alive and in front of us, we only count the negatives of another person. So, through this incident universe has given me a chance to contemplate on good things. Whenever we get an opportunity to express our gratitude towards our loved ones, teachers, or friends, we should do that happily. Expressing our appreciation will make the other person feel special and make us humble and happy.

Keep smiling,

Thank you,
