A Small Gesture

I just had a wonderful day, wanted to tell you abt the incident that I had with the cleaning aunty (lady who cleans the dustbins and cleans our desks) and the drink stall ladies downstairs(who sell coffee).......

Since I used to come to office really early ... i always used to spend some time greeting them and somehow they used to strike up a small kindof chit chat with me that used to make my day.. and i wanted to give them something before i left as a thank u..:):)... so I went hunted around.. couldn't find anything so went n got them a cup.. and a small chinese thing that they can keep on their table... then i found it soo odd.. like how to gift it to them... i got a chinese friend to write "Thank you" in chinese wrapped it in a small bag and awkwardly gave it to the aunty... she was sooo stunned... her eyes lit up.. with the other hand she touched her chest.. and went "For ME??".. then i said yes aunty.. for you.. i just wanted to tell u thank u for making my day... then she looked speechless for a while.. and then turned to the chinese lady who was beside me and told her in chinese to say thanks to me... but that moment that expression on her face when she realized that i had given her a gift.. that moment.. is going to be a sweet memory forever in my heart....then i went to a friend's cube and got another gift for the indian cleaning aunty as well...and gave it to her...

Then i wrapped the other small chinese things in a small white paper wrote thanks on it.. and went down to that cafe... and went to the corner of the cafe.. and kindof slowly called that lady over.. she looked puzzled.. and i quietly gave her that gift.. and her whole face changed... i told her.. that they've been sooo amazing.. and wonderful.. and so this was just my small way of saying thanks.. then i asked her if that other lady.. who's usually very talkative and friendly.. is there.. and then i went to her.. and gave her that little something... she was like.. immediately.. there's no need for this... then i was feeling uncomfortable all over yaar.. wanted to like run away from that place... but just stood there.. as i felt running away would look odd.. then that lady with the pony tail.. calls me and says.. come let me treat u to that fav drink of yours... then i'm like noooooooooooo .. i just wanted to say thanks.. dont treat me for anything.. then she's like nvm u'll be here for a week right.. i'll catch hold of you sometime and treat u to one coffee :):)

All the above activities happened on monday... then tuesday when i come to work.. the indian cleaning aunty.. comes to my cube and passes me this very very nicely wrapped photo frame... beautiful... it's small cute.. but i'm was totally touched by that.. and had tears in my eyes after she gave me that gift... then this morning.. i had come early to work.. so both were asking me.. we thought u are quitting why are u coming to office at 7am... then i said i have loads to finish and have to get it completed as soon as possible.. and that most probably they'll be seeing more of me as I told my boss that I would come back for the next 2 weeks to help out with the workload.... then that chinese aunty.. comes .. cutely holding a small box.. all wrapped up.. and she puts it in my hand... i'm like noooooooo aunty i really don't want this.. pls u people shouldn't have given me a gift... then she's like holding my hand out.. placing the box in my hands.. and saying keep it.. i opened it.. it's a very cute cup.. then i went n told her aunty.. the cup was tooooooo good... and the smile that she gave na.. was sooo swweet.. from her heart.. and just blew me away....

I'm feeling sooooooooo wonderful that i cannot describe to you.... coz this one small gesture of mine.. made a diff to both our lives... and i'm feeling sooooooo high by that... when all i did was just ack that person for being who they were being... :):)....
