As promised in the previous post, here is the Bonus Tip.
Extra newspapers? Magazines? Cardboards you aren't using? Give them away in Raddi. When you get some money back, you can use it for charity.
Better, for something I like to call: "Personalized Charity"
Here are some cool ideas about what you can do...

Here are some cool ideas about what you can do...
- Buy a new dress for your maid.
- Or buy some pens and books for her kids.
- Buy shoes for a needy.
- Give your building's watchman a Pizza treat.
- Sponsor your maid/watchman/sweeper to a movie.
- Get a cold cream for your locality's sweeper and when you happen to run into her in the morning while you return from your walk, or you see her sweeping away your building in gusto when you step out to get your newspaper, give her a caring winter surprise. Googly woogly woosh...!! :)
- Get some packets of dry snacks — biscuits, chips, cupcakes, anything, and some water bottles handy at home. The next time any courier guy drops by to deliver that much awaited package shopped online, gift them some happiness too!
- Keep some candies in your handbag. Next time you visit a mall or a go for a movie, and when you happen to use the rest room, hand some out to the Help staff there. They may be hesitant at first, but you can tell them it's a special day for you and you just want their best wishes. This will put them at ease, and Oh! Their wishes go a long long way!
- Next time you visit your salon, or your hair stylist, give chocolates to the help staff there. And here I am talking about the people who really do the work, and not the front desk.
- When you go to a restaurant, you always tip the waiters. This time, tip the watchman too. Almost certainly, you shall get the best, crispiest salute of all times!
(Just a head start...
Smile your way into all of these performances. And use that real, big, bright, sunshine-ish smile of yours. One that helplessly makes the other person smile too!
And if you know, it is super cool, if you don't, then try to find out the names of these people before you do something for them. Ask them. There is nothing people love more than their own names. And just by addressing them with their names, you have already made them feel so special!
There you go! Well begun is half done!!
Now, many of you might be thinking: Am I practicing or only preaching...?!?
Well, all of these ideas are tried and tested, and that is the only reason I could come up with these.)
"Little deeds of kindness
Little words of love
Can make this earth a paradise
Like the heaven above
For hands that help
are holier than lips that pray
Take their names, give 'em a smile
And in their hearts, forever you shall stay...!!!"
Must say Great n thoughtful ideas!! Very simple indeed but always avoided or ignored! :)
