WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

One day a man saw a old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry.

He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you.

He said, 'I'm here to help you, ma'am. Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.'

Well, all she had was a flat tire,
But for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped.
Bryan never thought twice about being paid.
This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, 'And think of me..'

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her
Feet for the whole day couldn't erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan ..

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: 'You don't owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.'

Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the
Money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard....

She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, 'Everything's going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.'

So who has to pay the cost to re – register? Why does the applicant/public has to register their records if the authorities are going to destroy the same or lose them?

To bring a solution to this issue a group of people have come together to chalk out a strategy and action plan so that general public are not harassed by the concerned authorities. More details will follow & I do hope Goans all over the world will lend their full support for this good cause.

Portuguese Passport for Goans - Submitting the in Portugal

Ok guys this is huge the following post will cover the updated laws and procedure on how to submit and follow – up the Portuguese Passport for Goans ( Portuguese Nationality) in Lisbon – Portugal. The process is simpler and much faster in comparison to the Portuguese Passport Process (Portuguese Nationality) submitted in Goa.  You save a lot I mean a hell lot of time if you submit your Portuguese Passport for Goans (Portuguese Nationality Process) directly in Lisbon Portugal.

Cable Television or DTH in Goa

In  today's world almost everything is digital or WIFI. To keep up with the trend I discontinued my Cable TV and bought myself a brand new Airtel DTH. The sales rep was perfect to feed me all the bull he had and dish out some super deals to make the service and the rates spicy. He managed to talk me into his crappy service for which I paid Rs.2600 and some change for a full year subscription. During the sales talk, he made me feel this was the ultimate.

One month later, I regret for switching to DTH. No doubt, they offer digital picture but of course, it comes with a price, which is hard to pay during bad days (Recession), which we all are going tru. DTH works out very expensive to the Cable TV but you realize this only after you have installed the dish and purchased the subscription. The sales person will never show his face again to you.  

The normal cable TV will cost you Rs.1600 after you talk to your cable operator about discontinuation of his services where as you need to make more than Rs.3000.00 to get all that you get by keeping your cable TV.

The choice is yours, analyze and take advice from friends before you make a decision. Best is to make an excel sheet and calculate the difference. Or else you will end up paying more money like me.
