HATS OFF TO HIM
********************
One fine evening while I was joyfully munching at my favourite dish, Tandoori Chicken, in a restaurant, I saw a son entering the restaurant with his old mom for the evening dinner. The mother being very old,weak and haggard, while noshing , frequently dropped food particles on her habiliments.Other diners watched her in sheer disgust while her son was relaxed.
After she finished eating, her son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took her to wash room, wiped the food particles, cleared the stains, combed her hair and fitted her spectacles firmly. when they emerged out, the entire restaurant was watching them in pin drop silence and was spellbound, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass them publicly like that.
The son footed the bill and grasping the hand of his mom, started obambulating out. At that time, an old man amongst the diners, summoned the son and asked,"Don't you think you have left something behind?"The son decorously replied,"No sir, I haven't."
"Yes, you have,"retorted the old man,"You left a lesson for every son and hope for every mother."
The entire restaurant was speechless !!
