Our tip - their celebration
Raj and Sakshi were married and they were living a busy life. Raj was putting his clothes for laundry when Sakshi stopped him and informed him that their maid is on a leave for the next two days. Sakshi asked Raj to give their maid some extra money. Raj was not quite interested in doing so. Sakshi tried to convince him but he was not paying enough attention to her. Finally she suggested that they can cancel the pizza they had planned for evening and will spare that amount of Rs.500 for their maid. Raj agreed and Sakshi gave the money to their maid.
The maid returned after her leave and she was doing her chores. Raj casually asked her about her trip to native and her festival celebrations. The maid said she had a good time and how she was grateful to Raj and Sakshi for giving her the extra money. Raj was surprised and asked the maid how can she be so happy with five hundred rupees. The maid explained how she bought a small frock and a doll for her granddaughter, a pair of bangle for her daughter, a belt for her son-in-law, some sweets for their home and she managed her travel expenses. She even donated a small amount for charity and with what was left with her, she gave it to her daughter and asked her to get some snacks by the time the little one gets back from school.
Raj realized how much worthy was that five hundred rupees for the maid while for him, it was just 8 slices of pizza.
If an unnecessary need can be compromised for someone else's emergency we must take a call and do it
