Quite upset to be informed by a member of staff that these do not count as a snack option in the meal deal. This country.

I had spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money. I couldn't resist myself & asked...

''Dad, why don't we activate your internet banking?''

''Why would I do that?'' He asked...

''Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for things like transfer.

You can even do your shopping online. Everything will be so easy!''

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of Net banking.

He asked ''If I do that, I wont have to step out of the house?

''Yes, yes''! I said. I told him how even grocery can be delivered at door now and how amazon delivers everything!

His answer left me tongue-tied.

He said ''Since I entered this bank today, I have met four of my friends, I have chatted a while with the staff who know me very well by now.

You know I am alone...this is the company that I need. I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have enough time, it is the physical touch that I crave.

Two years back I got sick, The store owner from whom I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside and cried.

When your Mom fell down few days back while on her morning walk. Our local grocer saw her and immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows where I live.

Would I have that 'human' touch if everything became online?

Why would I want everything delivered to me and force me to interact with just my computer?

I like to know the person that I'm dealing with and not just the 'seller'. It creates bonds of Relationships.

Does Amazon deliver all this as well?'''

Technology isn't life..

Spend time with people .. Not with devices.

During the filming of The Lake House, Keanu overheard a conversation between two costume assistants and a woman who was crying because she was about to lose her home unless she could come up with $20,000.
He didn’t ask questions.
He didn’t announce it.
He didn’t post about it.
He simply transferred the money.
For his 2010 birthday, he didn’t throw a party. He went alone to a bakery, bought a cupcake with a single candle, and sat outside eating it. While he was there, he paid for the coffee and bread of everyone who walked in. That was his celebration.
With the earnings from The Matrix, he reportedly distributed around $50 million to the special effects team, because, in his view, they were the real reason the film existed.
He didn’t call his stunt doubles “stand-ins.”
He called them “partners.”
And to thank them, he gifted each of them a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
He rides the subway.
He takes buses.
He walks the streets.
Not as a strategy.
Out of convenience.
Because he sees no reason to separate himself from the world.
Hospitals around the world have confirmed donations from him totaling tens of millions of dollars. In some films, he reportedly gave up to 90% of his salary so productions could afford to hire more actors.
In 1997, a photographer captured him sitting on the sidewalk next to a homeless man, having breakfast with him and listening to his story.
He didn’t pose.
He didn’t look at the camera.
He didn’t ask for it to be published.
Everything we know about Keanu Reeves, we don’t know from him.
We know it because someone else, at some point, said:
“He was there when I needed him.”
Keanu lost his best friend.
He lost his child.
He lost the woman he loved.
He could have become hard.
Bitter.
Distant.
But he chose something else.
He chose kindness when he had no obligation to be kind.
He chose not to harden when the world had given him every reason to.
He chose not to turn pain into poison.
This is not naïveté.
This is character.
And perhaps that’s why, in a world that screams to be seen, Keanu Reeves remains one of the most admired people without ever raising his voice.
Because he didn’t become famous for what he said.
He became unforgettable for what he did—quietly.

"Today my 3 children and I walked down the road to the local fish and chip shop. A man of 91 years of age exchanged niceties, the man walked past and collected the newspaper and preceded to walk toward a table near the window by himself. My 4-year-old said to him 'There's a seat here!' While my 2-year-old mimicked him. After saying to the children something about Mum not liking a stranger joining, and me saying that he was more than welcome to join us. He sat down with us (also a 1-year-old) near to tears about our generosity. After sitting and chatting for 45 mins he was leaving and offered the children any ice cream they wanted. I insisted on paying but he said he wanted to 'brighten their day like they had brightened his.' He was so thankful for their kindness. It was so innocent and beautiful. We need to remember the smallest acts can complete someones day."
