Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.

Morning, the doorbell was ringing continuously. I opened the door. “Good Morning, please pay the milk bill for the month.” Milk Man was on the door. “ Ok, How much I need to pay,” I replied. “500,” he said. I went to bring money. I just counted the money in my wallet, I observed that 100 less in my wallet. Anyway, I paid the cash and closed the door.
