To the quiet people in this world

Hi princess,

This has been on my mind for quite some time now. Kolkata's youth circuit has been rocked by another sexual harassment scandal. It is very true, that there is a pattern here. A pattern of powerful men drunk on their power, to do whatever they feel like. Be it Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood or this particular case. It is shameful, that these men are allowed to continue unabated with their horrible acts. I would like you to call out such people always. ALWAYS. If you can't, you know I am there always beside you. But, today I wanted to talk to you about the quieter ones in this world.

I am sure you have noticed, the quiet guy or girl. Maybe, no one really cares about what this person does, or probably even know his or her name.  These are not the suave debaters or people who play amazing guitar solos or set the stage on fire with their dance moves. These are not the ones who get thunderous applause after their acting performances. I hope you get an idea of which people I am talking about. I have seen, that these are the best people. Unfailingly. These people are little pools of kindness in your life. Cherish them and enjoy their company, even if others don't. Even if others run behind all the glamour in the world. True happiness is with them.

The saddest part of our generation is that these people are sidelined. The people with the good hearts. AND NOTHING MORE. Because that's all that you need.

Yours lovingly,
Dad

P.S - If you are one yourself, always know that these people are the BEST. Quietly making the world a better place.

P.P.S - But, I don't think you would be. :p
