i remember my dad telling me once tht he was visiting a nearby village for some work and happened to remember an old house maid who worked and grew at our place.. so when dad visited her.. inquired her condition.. she broke out crying profusely tht bhai saheb.. its been 2 days and therez nothing left to eat.. ive boiled water just to pacify the kids.. whatever cash tht dad had on himself he gave it away.. dint even count.. and the lady returned with unspeakable joy..
