Sweet as a Fruit

by Dr. Kumarendra Mallick



Early Thursday, I stopped the fruit vendor to ask, 'Grapes are now cheaper, will you prefer grapes to banana?' 'No,' was the quick answer, 'banana is a common fruit, friend of the rich and the poor, it grows in every season and in every region, and is offered to gods of every religion.' To me it was an eye-opener, and soon realised why the fruit seller is friendly to all, loved by the rich and the poor, loved by all the gods... he carries soft smiles without footwares, walks miles returns home very late and just caresses the baby who has already slept. Fruits that he sells, give him the lesson, be sweet, for other's joys, be the reason!
