Yesterday it was raining in Chennai, my hometown.... and there was no electicity at home....
But then I have a home, about which i can complain ,saying "There was no electricity at home" . An instant thought flashed through my mind then and there...There are hundreds, probably thousands, who have lost their all to the earthquake in the Himalayan vicinity, who have no home, no electricity, no food, no warmth, when it is raining and snowing mercilessly... It occured to me that mine was a situation when i should be counting my blessings.
Sometimes we fail to realise how fortunate we are, compared to some of our fellow men, and we continue to hanker after what is not....

HMMM...OOps did the saint pop out for a little bit??!!
Really a nice thought. When we are upset that we are not given the chutney we like, just if we think of the people who are dying because of starvation, how much better we will be feeling!
