My Photo Album-196: Balu

Balu. Our Director's driver. An excellent driver and a friend. He has a helping nature. I shall always cherish his help at the time of my father's death.

May God bless him!

Picture of the day-430: Devanampattinam 4

John Alex. Everybody calls him Alex. I call him Jr Alex, because I have another friend with the same name. Towards the end of my career, he joined our section as a contract worker. He became very much attached to me. At this young age, his father, who was working as a driver, suddenly passed away. As the first son of the family he had to bear the family burden. I always have a soft corner for him. Even after my leaving our office, he used to send me SMS regularly.

This photo I took after my retirement, when I was also working on contract.

May God bless him!

A Thought for Today-619:

Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me," and when you have found that attitude, follow it -
