Experiencing 5 Acts of Kindness
Flowers for Mom
When I was a young boy about 8 years old, my younger sisters and I got the idea to buy something for my mother for Mother’s day. Money was hard to come by. We went around to the neighbors and asked for pop bottles. Back then, soda pop was sold in bottles, and they were washed and refilled. There was a deposit on the bottles of 10 rupees per bottle
So with a grand total of 30 rupees we walked uptown (about a mile) to where we knew a flower shop was located. When we went inside, someone asked what we wanted. We told them we wanted to buy flowers for Mothers Day. I reached into my pocket and pulled out our whole stash of cash, asking if that would be enough.
Another gentleman, who I am sure was the owner, came over, looked us over, and said “just a minute”. He went in back and came out with a bunch of flower and we paid the price which was I was sure half of the price. And we went proudly home caring bunch of flower for Mom. Still I remember the scene and joy of that moment.
Giving Blood:

Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from AB-negative which is very rare blood group and hard to find. I got a text from hospital blood bank about the situation and stated that you have to find it out in 48 hours, I started contacting friends, friends of friends and other blood donation societies for help, but From all side I got negative (No) answers. When I saw the poor girl she had a beautiful dimple on her cheeks, and brown hairs with blue big eyes, I could not stop tears in my eyes and promised her that she is going to be cured soon.
Luckily My friend called me for O positive blood and the patient was in Shaukat Khanum hospital, I will cut the long story short, patient family approached me via phone, I met them and promised to donate blood for her young sister next day early the morning, during discussion the patient cousin told me that he has AB_ negative blood, I was like going to fly. The next day I donated my blood to the other patient and the guy donated blood to that Girl Nimra.

What happens after helping others?
There is a Chinese saying that goes: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” For centuries, the greatest thinkers have suggested the same thing: Happiness is found in helping others.
