It was almost closing time for the office. I was still finishing up with the remaining files when there was a knock on the door. An old man with an infectious smile emerged. Speaking in Garo, he asserted, "I am not here to give you any complaint letter. I just came to say Thank you".
I was smiling already. "You are welcome Atchu. But what did I do for you?", I asked out of curiosity. It really didn't matter though. I was happy as I could be of some help. "I saw your speech in Garo. I felt so happy that you made so much effort to learn the local language. Thank you once again", he clarified. Sweetest of a gesture by this old retired man. I am still smiling.
P.S. Atchu means Grandfather. Mitelbejok means Thank you so much.
