A few years later, I found out a single father in the building was behind on rent.
I paid it anonymously.
Not because I owed anyone.
Because someone had once shown me grace when I needed it.
When my landlord retired, a group of tenants threw him a party.
Someone asked him whether he regretted all the people who had taken advantage of his rule.
He laughed.
"Of course some people took advantage."
"That's the price of trusting people."
Then he said something that split the room.
"I'd rather be fooled by a few selfish people than become the kind of person who refuses to help everyone."
To this day, the tenants who lived in that building still argue about his rule.
Some believe generosity without conditions only encourages bad behavior.
Others believe that grace only means something when it's given without first deciding who deserves it.
I still don't know which side is right.
In a Telangana town, a bull comes to a dosa stall each morning for a snack.
The stall owner, the bull's friend, makes him two dosas with no-spice potato masala. The bull waits patiently until they are done.
After he fan cools the dosas he feeds them to his friend.
This routine has been on for years.

I read a sign in Gujarati on a shop, which said "J Rocks"
I spent the next half hour trying to figure what or who J was
And then I asked the shopkeeper , it was "Xerox"
😇😣🤣😫
If you are ever in fear of being eaten by a bear, just lay on the ground for 5 seconds.
The "5 second rule" for food on the ground will apply and he cannot eat you.
