nice feeling

My son, who had come to Goa for a short holiday, left for NIT Durgapur, by train, yesterday. We received a call from Hubli this morning. It was a lady who had travelled in the same compartment along with her aged parents. She said that she called us to convey her praise about our son’s behaviour and thank us for the help he had rendered to them during the journey!
While it was nice to hear good words about our son, what appealed to me more was the effort by the lady to note down our number and call us from Hubli. Occasionally we do come across praiseworthy behaviour from unknown persons. But do we acknowledge? Courtesy still exists. That is a nice feeling.

Nice to hear this :) Yes, it is no doubt a great feeling. Very nice of that lady to call you and congrats to you:)

Shruthi's school teachers who attended her wedding, happened to comment that our two girls are `very well brought up and that both are very well behaved and also that if there is a `best parent award' that would go to us' !! Nice feeling indeed.
