NRI: NON RICH INDIANS


Today I am forced to remember the first day when I joined my present work place Lead Bank office Bank of Baroda vikas bhawan Rudrapur. After the introduction with my other staff members who were only 2 in numbers. Our sub-staff introduced me to "buwa ji", who was a per day worker at the office canteen, and said she will take care of you and she showered some blessings smiling, that's her nature though she is getting paid (under-paid) from the canteen alone but was very caring to all and satisfied to get what she is getting and you know the dirty world  all the people working that building who were more than 50 in numbers treated her as their personal servant, one day i couldn't stop myself asking her " Amma why do you work more than you required to get your salary? " God is watching my actions beta and i will get the reward as everyone gets according to their karma, she replied. I couldn't say anything but appreciated her optimism.
