I still remember the last class of my favourite teacher,Mam Soujanya.Now I accept that it was the most interesting class taken by her.This class has been divided into 3 articles.
1.Que Sera Sera2.Herd Mentality3.Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty
So she took out a book and read a phrase from it.It was "Practise random kindness and senseless acts of beauty",you can also find it in the Spread this message section of this site.
It's meaning was quite simple,to do senseless and random good deeds,no matter big or small,but this will really touch any person in need.
She then gave a couple of examples.These would help you know the meaning more easily.She also told us to spread this phrase,as it is really magical.So if you like it,then please tell it to your friends.
Example 1A boy and his father once went to visit the circus.At the ticket queue they had a family infront of them.The family looked poor,yet was happy.It was a family of Two boys,a girl and their parents.The children's mother seemed quite happy,apparently they were here after a long time.The man also looked happy and was waiting eagerly to buy the tickets.
When there turn came,the man asked for 5 tickets.As the ticket seller told the price,the smile on the man,continued by his wife's smile faded away.They didn't had enough money.Obviously they could have turned back and returned home,but at this situation,how would the kids feel about their dad.They were very excited about it and their father didn't seemed to gather courage for a negative answer.
The boy's father noticed it,he quitely went near the man,slipped his hand into his pocket,and stealthily dropped a note on the ground.He then excused the man if the note was his.The man knew what he did,but still accepted it.With tears welling up his eyes,he maintained to whisper "Thank you".
That night the boy and his father came home without watching the show,but still they were happy.
Example 2Once when Mahatma Gandhi was travelling from a train,one of his shoe fell down the track.Mahatma Gandhi,untied his second shoe and threw it as well.A fascinated observer asked why he did so.And Bapu replied that the man who finds my pair of shoes will be able to wear it,otherwise what use would have one shoe been?
Example 3This is actually the most common example.A lady travelling in a red car stopped at the toll booth,and gave the money of the next 5 cars that pass from here,on christmas eve.This is a completely random and senseless acts,still it is an act of beauty as when the other passers will come to know that a lady in a red car has already paid the tollbooth tax for you,how nice will they feel.It would be a nice christmas present for them.

Hi Avanti and thanks for commenting.
Now really thats a random act of beauty as your comment has inspired me to keep writing more and more.
Maybe just drop a five rupee note while going through a poor area as an act,it won't affect you much,but a lot to the poor person who finds it.
It's a really nice way of inner satisfaction and keeps God Alive.
