Ten Commandments of Kindness, Learnt From Dad

#TheKindnessGene

We are called Humankind, which means humanity. If you are kind, your soul is kind to all, then you are closer to humanity. Minor acts of kindness are like a piggybank that will one day emerge as a reward. I have missed out on my time with my grandparents. Being the youngest of 5 siblings, my parents wore the mantle of grandparents for me. I am certain that my mom and dad planted the seeds of kindness in me and nurtured them. It is not too late to propagate and replant the seeds of kindness, as parents, or nurture it with the milk of human kindness. Sharing Ten Commandments of Kindness, Learnt From Dad.

I believe all children are born to be kind. Most parents want their children to be kind and can impart lessons on kindness, and empathy and practice it as well if they do not carry forward the gene.

No one has found the kindness gene, but there is a connection between why some people are naturally kind and benevolent. Evidently, something shoves them towards goodwill.

My dad made up for the absence of my grandparents. He was my inspiration, my hero, my idol, and my rock star.

Ten Commandments of Kindness, Learnt From Dad-

1. He always wore a smile and spread smiles. He proved to me that money isn’t everything, love and happiness are.

2. We never had money to splurge, but he always carried chocolates in his pockets and shared them with kids of all ages. I follow suit and now my daughter has jumped on the bandwagon. (You can win a kid over with candy!)

3. He taught me to be compassionate; always put others before yourself and your needs.

4.  The art of giving, I learnt from him; my love, time, a patient ear, and help.

5. He was humble, with minimum needs. He taught me humility and you cannot be kind if you are arrogant, can you?

6.  The best religion is keeping your loved ones happy, he preached

7. He believed and explained that every human being is good. Maybe situations may make them do wrong. Look for goodness in every human being.

8. Life is too short to hold on to grudges, according to him. Forgive and forget.

9. Cheat no one. Do good and goodness will come back to you double.

10. Every morning, he would go for a walk after his prayers. He used to carry food in a bag and feed the crows and dogs. Chocolates for the poor kids as well. They gave him the moniker of Saibaba.

There was no generation gap between us. For him, the veritable fountain of youth was the fountain with youth. Meaning spending time with kids and youngsters. Keeping the child in you alive was his mantra for ageing. At 86 he would say I am not 86 years old, I am 86 years young! Miss you beloved Baji! (we called him Baji instead of bauji and that’s how he was addressed by all-young or old)

My writing was limited to school essays and projects for my kids and out of the blue, my writing career began with writing articles for the magazine section of a reputed national newspaper. I rediscovered my best subject at school and began writing with gusto. I had a weekend column in the newspaper which was well appreciated. I started off writing about Interiors and Gardens and later diverse topics like Fashion, trends, food and events in the city. Juggling my time between various jobs down the years and my writing, I have written content for fliers, brochures for colleges, speeches, social media content and also website content. I love writing and I am open to writing on a plethora of topics. My blog has some interesting insights into my life and travels but now it is mainly a food blog as I am growing organic vegetables and cooking my own produce is very therapeutic. Read my blogs to know me better. I write from my heart and what I write is what I feel... I feel a feel, A funny feel A funny feel, feel I! If you feel the feel I feel You'll feel the same as I!!

    I strictly follow point No 1 and I believe it from within and being kind to people especially the ones whose life can be better with our support, I learnt this kindness from my mother. Beautifully penned content dear.

    Each and every point is gold. Your post reminded me of my father. He always said that you should continue doing good deeds but not talk about them.

    Your dad was a true follower of humanity. It is such a beautiful heritage and learning he has left behind for you and now your daughter has the same. I have always seen your pictures where you are smiling no matter what! Now I know from where you got the gene. Keep going Harjeetji…

    Our fathers were so much alike. It felt like I was reading about papa. Particularly about the goodness in every human being. And of course, always young at heart. Thank you for a trip down memory lane.

    I learned my kindness from my mother. All commandments are essential. I also believe that when we see someone being kind from a family member or friend, we must express our gratitude. Positive reinforcement motivates people to do more good and reminds them to act with intention.

    This surely says, humanity still exist. Sometimes the situations we go through in life make us disbelief and distrust the very existence of humanity. But this sort of posts are a great reminder. Do keep sharing such positive posts Maam.

    This is such a sweet way of showing your love for your dad. I grew up with my dad working overseas and despite that, he always made sure we still have a special connection built. I guess as a daughter, we’ll always be a daddy’s girl for them.

    It doesn’t cost you anything to be kind. But it makes a big difference, more than money could ever buy. Kudos to your dad for instilling such values. This is a true legacy that will live on…

    Your commandments are really good. But, you know I have regretted being good. Jiske saath bhi accha kia they took advantage.. Your commandments reminded me of my mom.

    Manifestation is something that I strongly believe and also experienced in my life. But few situations do arise in life which makes us think if it is actually right to be good to all… especially in the case when you get heat back by the person for whom you did something to help selflessly
