About Her

My photo
India
Little Moments Of Bliss is a silhouette of a feeling that resides in my heart. A software engineer by degree, a writer at heart, and a teacher by profession, I'm all that I never thought I would be. Pretty pictures,a poem that blatantly refuses to rhyme, a text from a deranged friend, a sudden gesture of love, its these little things in life, that matter and sprinkle bliss. Grace the couch and share a cuppa!

The Street Vendor [55Fiction #7]


He knew it would be a beautiful day since the moment his first customer said Thank You to him. Never had a person spoken to him with such kindness. Although he couldn’t sell as many sweet-potatoes as he did everyday, content resided in him.


Those two little words filled the void of respect inside him.

    Just a few words can make a lot of difference.

    I've seen the faces of vendors and rikshaw-walla's to whom I keep saying thank you. Every time I see them, their eyes sparkle with a smile on face. They recognize me from a distance and few of them wave hands too :)

    This is something I never forget to say. 'Thank you' happens to be my favorite and the word which I use the most :)

    It isn't necessary that the words should be long to mean something.
    Your post is a perfect example.
    Thank you for sharing :)

    That was so sweet and touching. It is tough to convey such a thought in 55 words but you managed it beautifully. :) And that was a lovely photo to go with it.

    I still remember how such people are taken aback when you say 'Thank you' I guess to make someone's day , makes your own day.
    Good post, like always, love. :*
