ACT OF KINDNESS - THE FRAGRANCE LINGERS
Amidst such people here are a few who chose to be different. They are keen only to help and do not even want an acknowledgement for their help. For instance a person sent a sum of five thousand rupees, to be handed in support of pediatric heart surgery programme for the economically weak, without revealing his/her identity. Mr. Anthony, an industrialist who came to the hospital was moved by the plight of the family which did not have enough money to bear the expense of the heart valve, which required to be replaced for their son, graciously stepped forward to bear the expense of the valve which was twenty four thousand rupees. The patient suffering from bileduct cancer admitted at the hospital was dejected and distressed , when his application was turned down by the Insurance company, was consoled by Dr J S Rajkumar, who performed the surgery as well as waived the expenses on medicine and the hospital charges, to which I am a witness! "Kalathinaal seida nandri sirithenin Gnalathin mana peridhu", says Valluvar. Indeed! A goodwill gesture done on to someone in distress is bigger than our very EARTH!! |
