Simple Acts, Big Joy: The Beauty of Selfless Service

Well, I always thought that why to share the kind deeds we do and why to share the stories of helping others with the people. If we are doing such deed, its for our own good and inner satisfaction, why to share with others but now I got it, this should be shared with others in order to inspire them and encourage them for doing such deeds and acts which have a very good impact for the betterment of our society. This idea came from “The Kindest Night of the Year Challenge II”, click here to get more details on it. So, here I am to share one of my story of selfless service we did couple of months ago and the credit goes to my eldest bro, who shared this idea, planned and then executed the plan successfully.

While thinking of helping others, we just can give some money or by sharing some food but what my bro did was something exceptional and unique. Couple of months ago, when he was in Pakistan, he was surprised to see so many restaurants and stalls selling Momos. Well, yes it’s a bit of new thing in Pakistan but we are familiar of this dish and in fact, its one of our favorite dish. I mean we four brothers, are just in love with Momos. its an another story, coming back to the main topic, after tasting Momos in so many shops and restaurants, he just liked the Momos of H&H which is located in Hussainabad Food street.

Let me share in details, Momo is Nepali dish. It is dumplings, which is a famous dish in China, along with its special sauce which means it there is no sauce then they are just dumplings. So, selling it with the name of Momo is not appropriate plus people in Pakistan think of it a dish of India. So, basically, we are not having the actual momos in Pakistan, its just a similar thing. After trying at so many places, my bro liked it at H&H. this food stall H&H of Mr. Jamil was not so attractive and even though, his Momo were so nice and fantastic, there were no customers. On the other hand, the street have too many other stalls of Momos and they were crowded and having so many customers. But their Momos were not up to the mark.

My bro had an idea, he said why don’t we make Nepali Sauce at home and give it to Mr. Jamil at H&H, also make a promotional clip to attract people from all over Karachi for free tasting of authentic Nepali Momo with its sauce. While hearing it for the first time, we were like why should we do this blah blah. It would not work and too many negative remarks. My Bro was eager to help Mr. Jamil in doing some free marketing and promoting his stall so, we agreed to be in the team and will do as instructed. We met Mr. Jamil the next day and shared the idea, he was all good with it because there was nothing to lose in it and if it works, he will get the all benefit. My bro made a clip and shared it on his instagram page. People started asking for the location and a lot of people responding on the post.

We were happy to see the response on that clip and as planned, on weekend, my Sister in Law made the special Nepali Sauce and we took it to H&H. Mr. jamil was all set as my Bro told him to make extra Momos because our family will be eating half of it and half for free testing. Rest its upto him to make how many as per routine days. I was shocked to see that people actually showed up for free testing plus we took their honest feedbacks, no fake. It was an amazing experiment. Mr. Jamil of H&H was a happy man. i was a salesman on that day, asking people to taste the Momos with Nepali sauce. None gave negative remarks and many of the customers bought for their families to take home. Wonderful response and the idea was perfectly successful. My Bro gave the recipe to Mr. Jamil so he can have the same sauce and carry on with the Nepali Momo trend. My Bro taught all of us something new and I am happy that I was a part of this team which helped Mr. Jamil with selfless service and it really felt good.
