The little Champ! Mr.Saleem

"We are the children of the universe and we all yearn for love in this world. We get attracted to all those who love us care for us !"
All religion believes the same and all religion has the same teachings across all over the world .

Yesterday i had been to church and what we prayed there was

"We pray for all those muslim friends who are fasting with faith this month .."
"We pray for our nation and all those family who will be celeberating National Day"
"We pray for all those who are suffering..."


No matter to which religion ...race ,caste you belong to ..it is Love which binds all of us together into one!

Our human similarities surpasses any cultural differences.
It is Love which surpasses all cultural differences
Meet Mr. Saleem he is a very old man ..who collects papers , bottles from house to house sell them and earn his livelihood .

I see him almost everyday when i am taking stairs to reach 3rd floor at Redhill apartment where i stay in Singapore.




















I see him everyday and think that " he is so old ..his hands are shivering ..why is he working ? does he not have childrens to take care of him ??"




















Then i move on !

One day it was raining so heavily ...and i was taking stairs down....around 2.30 in the afternoon !

I heard a voice from behind , i turned around to see the man again ..he said

" Dont you have an umbrella ...do you know you will get fever and fall sick if you walk in the rain without an umbrella?"Yes he said in Local Language Malay/but Tamil Mix....may be a local singaporean!

He did not say anything great to me ..he did not do anything great to me .....but at once.. for once at that moment i remembered my father ..who said the same thing to me when i go out in the rain without an umbrella"

I told him " I have to buy one umbrella ..i dont have one "He said ok and asked me what the time was i said its 2.30 and i left


Since then every-time i see him he smile at me and i give him a smile back!

Today i saw him again , and he said the same thing " where is your umbrella ...you will fall sick if you walk in the rain"

I had some time today , i spoke with him for sometime ..he said his name is saleem and he is fasting these days he is a muslim ....he is a local singaporean and knows all Asian languages - malay , japanese , chinese , philippino...indonesia etc all asian languages"


Wow he is a champ ! Little Champ ! He posed for this photograph!

And asked me to clean it and give him hard copy for which i said okay !

























He told me where i have to buy umbrella from ! He showed all Indian stall at Hawker centre......and he said what all types of Indian food is available there.....
It is love which binds all of us together and it is not race or color!
These days i dont cook at home i share my flat with Nurul a malaysian girl and she is fasting !
I cook only after 6pm in the evening. I even make tea when she is not around !


To all my Muslim friends ! I dedicate this songs !
