No need to Know … (08/27/17)
“After the fire, when I’d tried to express my gratitude to our customers for their kindness, they’d been awkward – shy — uncomfortable. Later that night my father had explained to me that giving thanks is not a common practice in India. I had asked him that if this were truly the case, how could I ever know if others had appreciated what I did for them. My father simply smiled at me and said, ‘Do you really ever need to know?’” ~ via Chitra Divakaruni
