Extra Ordinary People

I was at the HV market the other day queuing for coffee in the early morning. A lady ahead of me I reckon about sixty years turned around and offered me to go ahead of her. Surprised why an older lady would allow me to jump queue - she said to me, "I'm sure  you must be off to work soon and I'm not in a hurry so please go ahead." I couldn't disagree with her and gladly took up her offer. It was a simple gesture but rare and heartwarming to meet such a magnanimous lady. She also showed  her kindness in such a gracious way that I couldn't refuse it. Inspiring and touching. Thank you Aunty. ​
