Location: Johannesburg, O.R. Tambo International Airport.
It was the 1st of Jan and I went to the airport to receive Ganesh. After he came out, we realised we still had time before Pramod would come and pick us up .. so we went to have some breakfast...
It was the 1st of Jan and I went to the airport to receive Ganesh. After he came out, we realised we still had time before Pramod would come and pick us up .. so we went to have some breakfast...
There were so many options and I was unable to decide where to go. Ganesh, who by now, knows my tastes pretty well said .. lets take a walk and you will know... and yeah.. there it was ... Fournos Bakery with all those delicious smells ...
We were greeted by a cheerful girl, and we went into the seating area. Ordered Scones with cream and jam for both of us to eat. Milo for me and Coffee for Ganesh to drink.
After the breakfast, I had to visit the loo. As soon as I entered, to my surprise, was greeted with "Welcome to my office Sir..." by a cheerful young lad. He entered a cubicle, cleaned the seat with disinfectant .. and walked out giving me a smile... I finished my work there... came out ... and was washing my hands and he offered me paper napkins to dry my hands saying .. "Hope you found my services to your satisfaction sir.. Have a wonderful new year!!"
I was stunned.. never did I encounter ANYONE with this kind of attitude.. it was by far the MOST amazing thing I've experienced till date.. the energy.. the enthusiasm.. the smile...
That is the next generation ... Its people like him who give me hope .. who keep teaching me day-in and day-out...
I know you might never read this dear friend, but I want to THANK YOU for giving a wonderful start to this year..
Hope the lessons continue..
That one made my day :)
