Jagga get up it is already 7, you need to get to work haggis mother was yelling from the kitchen. She was murmuring to herself,'this boy is so lazy I fail to understand what he is up to'.Somehow he agreed to go to the office, otherwise most of the day he was lazing around doing nothing. His mother continues to think about how morose jaggy used to be most of the time. She always wished some miracle would change jaggus mind and he would be happy and make others around him happy. too.jagggu gets ready to go to work. He was a cab driver maneuvering people from one place to another. Did he enjoy doing this?? No not at all, but had to for the sake of livelihood. So he continues doing this with a lot of boredom.                                        


Now, Jaggu had continued with the same activity for another year. The same monotonous, boredom filled profession. His parents too tried to coax him to learn some other skill that would add to his profile but no jaggu never paid heed to their advice. Now we come to the turning point in this story. One morning in the month of October 2006 a very cold Thursday morning jaggu leaves home for his work, he gets a call on his phone from an elderly man who asks him to pick up a couple from the airport and drop them at their home. Jaggu was on his way to the airport, he reaches there on time ,picks up the couple, and drops them at their place. His routine started positively. During lunchtime, when he parks his car and goes to the backseat of his car he sees an orange cover that was forgotten by the elderly couple. Jaggu felt bad at this but out of curiosity he opened the cover to see if he can find their contact number by chance ,No nothing of that sort was found. While closing the cover he notices a book whose cover had the photo of Saibaba. Jaggu picked it up and was going through the pages, he felt nice and decided to take it home. Once he reaches home after a hectic day he drops the cover in his table drawer and forgets about it for another week.          


After a week, it was festival time and traditionally people clean their homes to usher in the festival. Jaggu opens his drawer, cleans it and somehow felt nice to open the book again, While browsing the pages he reads a small clip about a young poor girl who seems happy always. She is singing, dancing, helping anyone who asks for it. She was wearing torn clothes was lean and looked undernourished but this did not affect her happiness in any way. This was an eye-opener. Jaggu understood the real essence of life. He comes home with a gentle smile greets his surprised parents. Who was wondering what had brought this pleasant change all of a nevertheless they were happy at this. Since then jaggu changed his dressing habits, he was tidier and even kept his car neat and clean both inside as well as outside, was smiling and received his customers with attentiveness. He spoke gently to everyone, played melodious music on his audio system fixed in the car, the car was smelling extremely pleasant fragrance. So every customer who booked his car gave very good feedback about jaggu. Within no time word of mouth helped him to reach better heights in his professional as well as personal life. So a simple episode in a book left in his car by someone unknown otherwise helped Jagga to become a better person. So all is well that ends well right.??
