It took another 3 hours to get to a nearby shop to get some food. There was a long queue, and the young lady behind the counter was attending to all the customer with a beautiful smile and thorough efficiency. As my number came, just then a very old gentleman entered the shop with a walking stick. Seeing him, this charming lady politlely excused herself, rushed to this old gentleman and served him the food first. She never lost the smile, but had an added loving concern for this elderly. I watch the entire scene and that scene is still freshly in front of me. I was happy that my "hunger" took me there and a very beautiful human act was unfolded before me! Well, the food that she later served me (absolutely required!), with proper apology (absolutely not required) was one of the tastiest meals I had in a long time! Great people you have there!!

Small incident??... Not at all! Such incidents were very common in my short stay in UK. I am thankful for those bright moments. You can say that there are darker alleys in every city, but I found just beautiful landscapes and true human beings there! I remember those days with much affection! Who says it is luck to find the sunshine over UK??... watch those kind faces, you will always find the loveliest sunrays there!!

Ok, getting back to business now
