Chennai Floods Washed Away Her House, But It Couldn’t Take Away Her Smile.

“It’s not happy people who are thankful, it is thankful people who are happy.” ~Auhtor Unknown (probably a happy person)

This beautiful video by Mariam Khan shows exactly how heartfelt gratitude looks like. The lady she met in the Chennai slum surprised everyone with her excellent English speaking skills. But more than that, she touched everyone’s heart with her smile.

Even when her home is washed away, the way she wore that smile only shows how brave a woman she is.

A smile is the best makeup any girl can wear ~Marilyn Monroe

Looking at this video of a woman who has probably lost everything to the Chennai floods only makes me wonder, “Are my naive day-to-day problems worth crying for?”

Food for thought.
