Thanks very much for the beautiful listing of the simple steps. Very easy to practise these. Cost nothing!!! At the same time it has great value and each one can become a precious gift for the people we meet. Years ago, when Binaca Geet Mala in the evenings were listened to, VOA (voice of America) morning service used to be popular. The programme used to close (around 7.30amor so) with the words : " If you find someone without a smile, give one of your own". Now-a-days even in US, I have seen no one reciprocates a smile --although saying "Good Morning" and nod of the head are common.!! Nusy world indeed.

Hello,Ritika Thanks for sharing many motivating thoughts regularly, I try to read most of them. May I know ,how you take out time to write so many blogs for people help. Thanks for such enlightening thoughts which we know but get buried in daily busy schedule. thanks & regardĀ

First of all, a big THANK YOU for sharing such wonderful insights into human behavior. Fortunately, I am one of those who follow almost all of the ways to showing gratitude.But the unfortunate part is that, that the same is not imbibed by the youngsters including my kids,since they have taken many of the things for granted. My sincere wishes that all of us inculcate this simple habit of saying thank you to all who have made our living worthwhile as human beings. THANK YOU!

Thanks for your beautiful write-up. I always say thanks when the canteen man or lady keeps a cup of coffee on my table or get some assistance from others. One day the person sitting next to me asked my why you say thanks to the person each time he/she brings coffee; it is they duty. I just replied to her - the person gets some pleasure when you acknowledge their help; Indirectly I also get some satisfaction.

Hello Ritika, i read this article today and i was immediately taken back in time.. a few years back when my mom was alive. She lived her entire life for us, cooking, washing, doing everything for her six children and her husband. She never complained of being tired. She never expected anything in return..but i do wish i had read this article then or may be better if God had kept her alive till now... just for me to say one big "THANK YOU" for everything she did for us. Thank you so much for this beautiful article and i hope no other mom goes away without hearing a "thank you" from now on.. I hope this article reaches out to everyone.
M L Raju
Hello Ritika. I read one of your articles sent by one of my friends today for the first time and it really touched my heart. I have sent the same article to my daughter and wife and started reading some other articles of yours. They are really nice and keep your good work going.
M V Mallya
Thank you Ritika. Simply saying "thanks" with a smile does wonders !! When I say thanks to my wife, every morning, when she serves tea, her face brightens up. Many a time, we take things for granted. We fail to acknowledge, we fail to appreciate. It makes all the difference.

Dear Ritika, Thanks a lot for introducing these10 points on 'GRATITUDE' which I think must be cultivsted and to be practiced by all. I do not wish to take pride to say that I follow this attribute of gratefulness and showing/expressing gratitudr towards small acts of kindness/favours done by my friends, relatives or loved ones.I wish to remain as humble as I can be. Once again many thanks.
Savitha Suresh

Very simply and nicely put. Watching and enjoying nature and beauty of nature is a great inner solace. Conveying our gratitude and thanks to people around us is a humble way of living and enjoying the relationship of life.
Srikanta Konanur
Very true. ..I always believed in this and some how I developed this attitude of expressing my gratitude ..It helps for long lasting relationships.. While in working for a private organization in a very important responsible position, after meeting the clients/business associates /colleagues ,I used to promptly send a thanking mail/card for the time they have spared/for the useful discussion we had during the meeting. and it helped me and the organization to build strong business relation ship ,trust and confidence..I think expressing gratitude should become way of our life, which will have tremendous benefits and to lead the life with lot more happily and with peace..

Dr Alexander
Dear Ms Ritika, thank you very much for the post. I am sure it has touched a chord somewhere in all those who have read it. In today's fast paced life we often forget the simplicities of life that can propel us into a state of immense happiness as well as make life meaningful to others. As we become more and more commercialized our selfishness increases in parallel without us really realizing it and thereby we forget the ten points that you have mentioned above. Our universe and our lives work on the principles of positivity and negativity - the 'yin and yang' and I have come to the realization that in every giving there is also getting.. or simply ' when you give you actually get'. thank you once again for the nice post!!

Dear Ritika , You spoke on a subject very dear to my heart. I would like to add a few more ways to show gratitude. There lot of impatience rising on our roads, which is the main cause for the traffic snarls and accidents. The pedestrian especially the old and the children left at vehicle drivers mercy. We can stop our vehicles well before the Zebra crossing and allow the pedestrians to pass by. The Bada sahebs and memsaabs can direct their drivers not to take short cuts, overtake rashly, push into any nook and corner or a free space available , the passengers in taxis and rickshaws can direct their drivers not to do the same. The drivers of Bada Sahebs and Memsaabs stopping in the middle of the road to pick them without caring how much inconvenience they cause to others. Pedestrians are very surprised and very happy when you stop and give them way and so are the drivers when one stops to give way so that there is no traffic block at unmanned crossings. Thats a great way to show gratitude. Reducing honking unnecessarily or totally is another way of gratitude. Another way to show gratitude is have patience when standing in any queue. Theres more but I dont want to make the letter too long. Thanks
Rajini
Thanks, keep posting it's nice and makes people aware of little things need to be done in the day to day life. Good job.May God grace you with his blessings.

I feel extremely grateful to go through the mails sent on the subject that motivates my inspirations although I am yet to overcome my fears of failure. Yesterday 6th October 2014 was auspicious Eid-ul-Adha, the day of sacrifice or Qurbani. In India we recall sacrifice ritual involves either Murga-Cock, Bakri-Goat or Bhainsa-Buffalo. If we look instead of mere seeing into it Cock symbolizes Grace-Ahankar, Goat bloats indicating fearness and Buffalo reminds laziness (not patience). Looking into Goddess Durga reveal taming the cruelness, kill the laziness with trishul - good, bad and tactical. I hope you may enlighten similar symbolic gestures spread through our religious scripts not confined to any particular faith.
