It's nice to be nice

[Office: around 5:00 pm]
"Hi there"... a voice reaches out. There is hardly any response. A bleak 'Hi' from a couple of guys and thats it.

[Office: about 5 mins later - 5:05 pm]
"See ya!". Again a couple of faint voices heard - "Buhby!".

Why doesn't anyone bother to respond? Are we too into our own world, into our own people? I am sure that somewhere inside each one feels that he/she should respond. But some elements, mind factors [or whatever!] pull up the string and we just ignore.

Spoke to the person who has been greeting us everyday. And learnt a lot from her. "Its nice to be nice", she says!

Indeed! Making people feel - yes, there's someone who knows me and cares to say a big 'Hi'

Cummon... start living... express yourself. Acknowledge and accept... and you will yourself realise - 'It's nice to be nice'.

Thanks V for making us realise this!
