If you have much, give of your wealth; If you have little, give of your heart. --Kahlil Gibran

Good News of the Day:
Catch a rickshaw on the streets of Ahmedabad, and you might be lucky enough to encounter the smiling face of Udaybhai. Enter his vehicle and you are invited to browse an array of books and newspapers. An mp3 player offers a selection of songs, and if you're hungry, you can help yourself to some tasty snacks. On top of all this, your trip has already been paid for by grateful travelers who came before. The gift-economy rickshaw driver explains, "I have no complaints. Whatever I earn at the end of the day, I use it to run my household. But I will continue to treat my guests with respect and make them feel at home." [ more ]
