Little things that bring Joy....

"Nothing happens until you ask", This quote is by Robin Sharma, so true, but this I experienced today, we had been to  Evok store today, it has contemporary products in home furniture, soft furnishings, bath products, modular kitchen, flooring, Lighting and Lifestyle home. They have a beautiful range of furniture, I was searching for a book shelf when I happened to see this beautiful book "Thoughts & Meditations" by Khalil Gibran , store has kept many books in display, they are not for sale, since I am an avid reader, I also see for books, and this particular book was so good and above all this was by Khalil Gibran, I couldn't stop myself and I walked up to the salesman and asked him that I want to buy this book, its price was 70 Rs and I told him that I am ready to pay 100 Rs for it, the poor guy was amazed and speechless, he told me that it was a display item and was not on sale, I told him that this book is really good and its going to a a waste as nobody will read this ever....puzzled, he told me that he will check with his manager and let me know in a while, he went away and after 2 minutes came back to me, I was thinking, his manager wouldn't have agreed, he came to me and told me that "Mam this is a gift to you from us, you need not to pay anything"....I was shocked, I mean, I actually was,I thought may be I got him wrong, but he repeated again, "Mam this is a gift to you from us"...wow....really, was I could say....and he smiled and said Yes, it is so...


This is how I got this book,This was a very sweet gesture that I gonna remember all my life....I mean where do you find such people??
