OLD MAN'S YOUNG SERVICE

     On 12/Feb/2012, around 10:35 pm when me and my friend happened to log out from the work place, my friend found no petrol in his bike.So we happened to walk with the bike to the nearest petrol bunk,which was located 1 km away from the work place.
      When we reached the bunk we found it closed,we both tired and disappointed because we need to walk to another bunk which was again more or less 1km away from the a fore said bunk.
      But when we were about to vacate the bunk, a old man came to us and offered water to us.I was astonished , we both happily drank the water which was offered by the old man.
       Now we were ready to take the marathon to reach the next bunk, but the old man asked us to unlock the bike's petrol tank, and i found him carrying a 2 ltrs bottle filled with petrol. i said my friend, this old man might be selling the petrol at double the cost, and we were even ready to pay double the cost because we didn't have another option and i didn't wanted a marathon again.Old man gave us around 200 ml of petrol and we went on to pay for the cause. But he the old man didn't accept, in turn he replied that this is something of his interest to serve the people in this way which he has been doing past one year.
      This old man who is the proprietor of ALICE footwear shop located at commercial street, winds up with his store at 10 pm and comes to the petrol bunk located at coles park to serve the needy transporter up to 11:30 pm.
       I questioned the old man why do he does this, to which he replied :
      
      Do All The Good You Can


      In All The Ways You Can
  
      In All The Places You Can


      To All The People You Can


      At All The Time You Can 


      As Long As Ever You Can 


and that day i realized what have i done to the community and humanity,when a old man at the age 60 years can be so kind to serve the humanity, why not we ?


So readers, come lets serve the community and humanity in another way with our own ideas and views, one life serve it ! ! !
