Small Story 481 : Sweet Blessings on a Sunday Govind came to Silk Institute Station to meet his new friend, Ramesh. Since it was Sunday, Ramesh had asked him to come to their usual meeting spot near the staircase at 9 a.m. Govind wondered why Ramesh wanted to meet him at the station instead of his house. When Govind arrived, Ramesh was waiting with a small packet in his hand. “Hey, sorry buddy,” Ramesh said. “I could have asked you to come to my house, but we are all leaving for Tirupathi. I wanted to meet you here to give you sweets. My sister’s betrothal was celebrated yesterday evening.” Govind was delighted by the affection shown by his new friend. He thanked Ramesh, congratulated him on the happy occasion, and wished him a safe and pleasant journey to Tirupathi. When Govind returned home, he gave the sweet packet to his wife, Archana. As she opened it, she smiled with surprise—it was Badusha, a sweet she had been planning to prepare at home that afternoon or buy from Anand Sweets. She tasted one piece and said, “It’s very nice, Govind,” and offered him a piece as well. Govind felt happy that Archana’s wish had been fulfilled so effortlessly, through his friend’s sister’s function. Archana and Govind always believed that whatever happens is God’s gift and blessing. This small happiness on a Sunday made them grateful and content. Little joys like these make life beautiful, and one should always enjoy them and thank God. If you’d like, I can also: K.Ragavan 5-1-26
