The Heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing

There are, can be and will be instances in your life when there will be a dilemma whether to pay heed to your mind or the heart. And sometimes it is but natural that we give in to our heart, which, as per me, is the right thing to do.

Anyways, here is the narration of another true incident that happened to, none other than my Boss (As told to me by one of my colleague)

Continuing her daily chores of going to her office, she stopped in front of a medical shop to buy some medicines. She was about to return back when she heard a quarrel between the shopkeeper and an aged person.

The shopkeeper's voice was somewhat stern. The aged person, who was around 90 years old, was literally crying. My Boss was not able to understand the whole scenario and she asked the shopkeeper about the same. The story was like this -----

The old man had come to buy some medicines for himself but he had comparatively lesser money. He requested the shopkeeper but then, of course, he was not ready to give.
My Boss asked the aged person, "Baba, is it true". He was still sobbing and could only nod his head. There was no further thinking and in a moment the required money was in the hands of the shopkeeper.

Many people here, would doubt the credibility of the act but then I think this has no explanation, whatsoever. I know only one thing. It requires tonnes of courage and faith to do the same thing for a complete stranger.

Nicely written in words...and we are lucky enough that we have a Nice Boss because generally Bosses are not kind hearted(They are bound to do so).But we have(A kind Hearted Boss) this is our Good luck.

We need to listen to our hearts when some situations similar to this arises. I am very happy to be an Indian where i could find people like Boss(in this scenario)
