10．I have always lived in India，and was recently traveling from Mumbai to Jaipur for work．Arriving at the airport early and without much else to do，I decided to check out the gift shop there．As I walked around the store，I saw two American women having a nap in a chair outside．It looked as if they had been at the airport for hours，and I couldn't help doing something to help ease their wait．
   I looked around the store for a while，and ended up buying a medium sized stuffed toy which looked like the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants．I asked the owner of the shop for a note and a pen and wrote，"When you get up if this makes you smile，it would mean the world to me．Have a good trip and an awesome experience．"
I walked quietly towards the two women and placed the toy and the note next to them．Not wanting to surprise or wake them，I tried to be as slow and quiet as possible，but in my attempt to flee the scene，one of them woke up and caught me in the act．At first when she looked at me，I worried maybe she thought I was a thief!But when she looked at the toy and the note，she brightened up，as if this was the best thing anyone had ever done for her．"Is this for me，sir？"she asked in surprise．I gave her a huge smile and nodded．
   She was so delighted．For a minute，it didn't feel like we were strangers anymore．I shook hands with her，and her smile made my day．I walked away with nothing but admiration and gratitude from her，and came to feel that，even though we were from different places，she was just like me．
