A few years back, I was standing in line at a western Union office to send money to Bangladesh. It was my turn and I needed to sign to complete the paper work. The cashier lady threw the pen at me, but I ignored it. I thought that maybe it was part of Mexican culture. Then an American gentleman came to her and she was extremely nice to him. she ended the transaction by saying “Have a nice day sir!”
Now it was an Indian-Bengali couple’s turn, they gave the lady their money. When it came time for the husband to sign, the cashier threw the pen at him. He was Orun Majumder, a director of a well reputed federal holding company. He signed the paper and threw the pen back at her exactly the way she threw it at him. Now the cashier looked at him with an annoyed expression.
He said, “ah~ ah~ Ah don’t look at me like that.” He pointed at me and said “you see that young lady over there, you don’t have any idea who she is and how excellent of a person she is. You threw the pen to her like that. She took your action in a positive way, but I feel you reap what you sow. Be equal to everyone.” ~ CR
