“Maa, You forgot to wake me up early again. I hope the geyser works today. I don’t want to meet the client with a running nose.” Aarti woke up anxiously as she had an important meeting today with one of the youngest philanthropist of the country who was greatly impressed by Aarti’s NGO who works for blind kids across the city and we’re eager to extend their scope to the country as well. Aarti grabbed the paper on her table and jumped into the car waiting outside her house.

Surya had just flown in from Florida where his father ran a car manufacturer company. He was quite generous at heart and did a lot of charity. Surya managed the financial part of the firm and made sure that every penny reaches the right person. It was his first visit to India as his wanted this meeting to be attended by Surya so that he gets to see the country.

Scorching sun welcomed Surya as he took a cab to the hotel. He was travelling alone this time and was excited to explore this trip. “ Hi Surya, I am Aarti. I hope you reached safe. I was trying to call you but couldn’t connect.” “ Hey Aarti, I have reached safely. Thanks for asking. I am looking forward to our meeting. Could you please share the address of the restaurant again. I misplaced it while coming.” “ Yes sure”.

Aarti was there before time and was eagerly waiting for Surya. Soon Surya reached the place. They shook hands and exchanged greetings. Surya shared his experience with the heat out here. Aarti laughed and ordered juice for both of them and continued the conversation. “We are really impressed by the work you do and would love to be a part of it. I hope your work makes this world brighter for the kids you work for.” said an excited Surya. “ Thanks a lot Surya. This would be a huge help.”

As Aarti got up to leave, Surya stopped her from behind,” You’re forgetting something” and handed her the walking stick.” You are an inspiration for all the blinds out there. Keep up the amazing work”. Aarti smiled and moved ahead looking for obstacles with her blind stick.
