(MENAFN- Live Mint) An Indian man residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) shared a story highlighting how small acts of kindness during the festive season can make someone's day. The man recounted how a delivery boy in his neighbourhood expressed gratitude after receiving a Diwali gift. He shared that he had often given the delivery boy extra money for bringing packages to his home, which is located a little far from the main road.

During Diwali, the delivery boy called, saying:“Mujhe laga bhai humein Diwali gift denge” (I thought brother you would give us a Diwali gift). After sending ₹1,000 to the delivery boy, he later messaged:“Usse main Apne Ghar ke liye gift lekar ja raha hun - LCD” (I am taking it home as a gift for my family), followed by“Aapka बहुत-बहुत dhanyvad” (Thank you very, very much).

The Reddit user wrote:“I thought I'd share this with someone. Even though I came from a middle-class family, now I'm so privileged that I didn't think ₹1,000 could mean so much to someone. But thank God, he put me in the position to create a meaningful moment in someone's life.”

“I thought he's probably gonna get drunk or something. Later, he sent me message that he bought LCD on EMI for his home. I don't know the backstory, if he was short of ₹1k or what, I didn't ask. But I'm so happy for him. I wish I could see reaction of his family,” he wrote.
