Generosity of the modest

She was proud to show us the little kitchen garden that she had prepared near the Anganwadi Centre. As she cautiously drifted across the vegetable beds, she recollected names of all people who had provided her the seeds and the assistance thereafter. She expressed her immense gratitude and prayed for them. 

Meanwhile as we were engaged in a conversation about expansion of such initiatives, she quietly plucked few ready vegetables. “For you all”, she said with a smile. With that little kitchen garden and more than 40 children in her centre, she still wanted to give something to the visitors. Makes you wonder, you need not have all the resources in the world to be generous to others, one big heart is enough.  “Keep it for the children, I will bring more from my kitchen garden”, I humbly submitted.
