Sleep deprived and feeling low on energy, I thought of going for a refreshing morning walk. On my way back, I chuckled at the sight that crossed my path. Camouflaged as a banana himself, this young boy was selling these ripe yellow fruits which I loved. I picked up half a dozen of them and was handing over the money to him when I said "Put in one more son, make it 7". Twinkling eyes and a broad smile greeted me when I gave him the banana. I felt such joy in this small act of kindness. My soul danced.
