Day 2 of creating smiles.give something beyond expectation to the labour class!



Day 2 of creating smiles.give something beyond expectation to the labour class!
I woke up to a home still smelling like a temple...only it was time to uncreate all that was created with so much of love just the previous day...isn't this what life is all about?
Flowers to be taken down, Bedsheets to be removed and washed, carpets to be folded,huge vessels to be washed, rooms requiring and swabbing, it takes an extreme amount of behind the scenes labour to keep things just as they are. I am lucky to have a fantastic Man Friday to help me in keeping our home clean. And the best smile I got today was when I gave him a hefty tip for the extra work done...this may not have been a big amount for me but for him it was about 25% of his monthly salary!
Do we spare an extra thought for the amount of physical hard work that is done by people who work for us? I could happily sleep during the day to make up for the over exertion at the previous day's function...but a lot of labour class people in this world barely have time to recover from their physical exhaustion.
You must be know so many workers who toil for more than 12 hours a day...from washing cars, sweeping, swabbing, cleaning etc. When survival is at stake where is even the time to smile? The least we can do is to see them smile with unexpected useful gifts.
Dear reader, I ask you to spare a thought for the people who work for you...your maid servant, driver, car washer, etc. they may not be perfect but neither are you if I ask your boss! Yet how much would you smile if got 25% of your monthly salary as an unexpected gift?
See how easy it is to create smiles today. Do let me know what smiles you got from labour class by giving them unexpected useful gifts today.

'Joker creating smiles' - when and how how was this Joker born?



'Joker creating smiles' - when and how how was this Joker born?
27th July 2015 brings in the day when I completed 52 years of age...
I awaken with mixed feelings..I am at a stage of life where I feel that I have been there, done that, dealt with that...all my cards are out there on the table...sometimes I was a queen, sometimes a slave, sometimes an ace, sometimes I hit a sixer, and so on.
I have faced the umpteen changes of life in different ways...I hit across my challenges with my clubs, I protect myself with my spades, many times I happily follow my heart, sometimes I use the power of my favourite diamonds.
Now I am on the brink of another major change in my life. So I take out a new card, my 53rd card in my pack...on 27th July 2015 there is a new birth in my life...here comes the joker!
In Dubai, on my birthday I announced the birth of the Joker who creates smiles...Yes that is who I am going to be for this 53rd year of my existence on this planet. A joker..someone who makes others happy. Doesn't matter whether I am crying or laughing from within, my aim for this 53rd year of my life is just to make others smile in whatever small way I can..
My sunny inner child logo can also become a joker logo for this year. As I write about different ways to make people smile...you too can ask yourself...'What can I do to make someone smile? Who smiled at me today? This is the question that you are going to ask yourself before you go to bed every night.... And you will write back about it on this group.
