My dear friends,
Most of us are paid many hundreds of dollars an hour
With air conditioned comforts and hot coffee every hour
Some poor folks, battle overnight, to feed hungry mouths
To get few rupees, see the catch, three men got together
When purchasing fruits, vegetables, or fish from a vendor,
Should pay lavishly, those who are blessed with, extra dollar
If that additional dime, they earn through our kindness, my dear,
Does bring smile to a face of a kid, isn’t it worth more than a dollar?
Meagre catch of three fisherman, having battled overnight in rough Indian ocean

Dear Ariya
This reminds me of life in Sri Lanka. Waiting for Covid to visit my country of birth

Missing motherland badly!
Yes Praxy, it is the longest break for thirty odd years
We haven’t visited our beautiful motherland precious
Like yourself we too are having withdrawal symptoms
Awaiting impatiently for the turn for vaccination calls

You are right Ariya. At this stage of our lives we have to be generous. Do not bargain with vendors. Tip heavily in restaurants especially now when we order take out meals..

You’re bsolutely correct, Nisantha and Seelan
Must treat ourselves and others whenever can
Generosity is a great virtue, makes world even
Only a soft heart would melt, seeing others pain
