There is no Y in Happyness

I have developed a new habit of walking home from work. Some times it feels weird but I am really feeling good about the fact that I get a change to do some physical activity daily and also contribute my 2 cents towards saving the environment.
Today, I was walking home near Devahiah Park and I noticed an old lady how was very lean and had a feeble voice. She was trying to cross the road and trying to get an auto. Something made me stop right there and ask the lady 'Mam, are you looking for an auto?' she replied 'Yes, child'. After which I helped her cross the road and get an auto. She offered to drop me till Aiyappa temple but I responded 'Its OK, I'll just carry on.' She got into the auto and went down the road while I was walking along the side walk. She waved at me from the auto, the smile and happiness on her face was worth a billion dollars. I am really happy that I got a chance to help someone in need.
