Three spoons of sugar

I was sitting in my college campus temple crying. I studied in one of those colleges which had big hostel, residence for staffs, temple, supermarket etc in the campus itself. Coming to why I was crying is that I failed in an interview repeatedly. Somehow or other I kept on failing in campus interviews where even the dumbest student even got placed. That day an old man came to temple with his grandchild. He sat near me and told 'I don't know why are you crying, just go back have a cup of tea with three spoons of sugar. Everything will be alright.'

I went to my hostel added those extra spoon of sugar with the already sugary tea. . I went back to my hostel room and instead of crying I went to sleep. Soon I cleared the interview and got a very better job.

Somehow it used to stick in my mind that I got my job because of those three spoons of sugar and just follow that when I was in bad time and it helped me a lot.

I don't know what that old man meant but I guess he wanted me to see that there are some sweet things in life to rejoice, no matter how the situation is. If I get a chance I want to find time, find him and ask what he meant.

But mean while I want to tell people that however the situation is there are some good things in life still to rejoice. Just sip tea with three spoons of sugar, Everything will be alright may be not today but eventually.
