Flash Post 151!

While the blaze that gutted almost 2000 shanties in a horrific fire that broke out in a slum in Kandivli on Monday leaving some dead, a lot injured and with hopelessness writ large on their faces, Poonam Partho was a picture of bliss as she managed to save her three goats from being roasted alive. Maybe, they were all she possessed!

Often, it’s little things like these that give us maximum joy…

It’s amazing how some find happiness in small things. We need to learn from them 🙂

  Priyanka,
  
  It’s amazing how the smallest of things we do sometimes gives us more joy over some of the bigger things we do which we think will give us more joy but actually it’s the reverse.
