Today something sad happened; we tore down a home, a bird’s home. It was inside our AC and the servicewallas just pulled it out and threw it in the dustbin, without even looking for eggs or chicks (thankfully it was empty). The mother bird (or at least that’s what I think it was) started screeching and generally creating a flutter right outside, but to no avail.
Anyway, the AC cleaned and reinstated, we all went about our regular duties, that’s when I noticed a full-page advertisement for TATA Housing in the day’s Mumbai Mirror. It was in Hindi, simple, touching and very heartfelt. You must read it if you can, for one, it’s rare to catch a Hindi print advertisement in an English daily and secondly, it was brutally honest, recounting the feelings of one who stays in a house not owned by him.
It felt good to know there are such people in the world who feel indebted to give back to society, Ratan Tata is definitely one such person and God bless his soul.
