Kindness is a great virtue. We have been listening this sentence since our childhood and I found this sentence true in the activity of 5 random acts of kindness. In which I was supposed to do 5 random little acts of kindness and Alhamdulillah I was able to do this activity.

  1. Start from the home, my family always see me as a strict and rude boy in case of study especially my little brothers and sisters face my this behavior. It does not mean that I do not love them. It’s just because I want them to focus on studies. My younger brother is in 9 class. He never communicate with me regarding studies maybe because he scare from me and it was also my mistake that I became busy in my daily life routine and do not pay attention at him. So yesterday I talk to him in very friendly way and said that he do not have to hesitate from asking me about studies and I ensure him that whenever he feels any confusion he can come to me and I will try my best to solve his confusion. And after that I teach him like my student which really makes me happy from inside.

2) We all have problems in our life but the amazing thing is that the solution of that problems is also in our life. A few days ago my aunty (chachi) was admitted in Jinnah hospital. She was suffering from lack of white blood cells due to a disease. Doctors were trying to complete that deficiency with injections but then they told that we have to arrange A+ blood group immediately as it is the only and best way to solve this problem. I was informed about that from my cousin and told him that I have A+ blood group and I will donate it. After that I go to the hospital and donate my blood to her which makes her whole family happy. That night I sleep very relax by physically and mentally. Now Alhamdulillah she is getting better.

3) As I am studying in university and using bike as a conveyance. I almost travel 65km in day on my bike. And I see that people are in very hurry. They are always in a rush especially we can see that thing in city life. I became also part of this rushing life but in this activity, I decided to not go in hurry and give way to others. Sometimes there is ambulance and we did not give it way and I think it is very bad thing. So when I do this activity while I was going back at home from my university. I give way to others vehicle and keep myself calm and not let myself to be the part of this fast traffic. I came to know that I was only 5–10 minutes late from my regular time but I was more satisfied and relax while driving.

4) We all have someone behind our success. The person who makes my basis strong and inspire me to go forward is Mr. Akram Kurmani Sahib. He was my ninth class teacher. He was man of his words. But unfortunately he become ill and passed away when I entered in F.sc. He had three cute children. I used to contact them on call and talk to them and also give them gifts as much I can. But due to busy routine in university, I was unable to contact them for the last year. In this activity, I call them again after long time and believe me they became very happy by just talking to me. I really feel blessed by doing this noble deed and I will try to contact them in future InshaAllah.

5) I was in queue to pay my university fee a day before yesterday. There was an old man behind me to pay fee of his son/daughter. He was looking so tired and uncomfortable. By keeping in mind this activity I asked him that let me pay your fee and you sit there and relax. He sit there and give me best wishes.
