Life mein kabhie kabhie kuch na kuch achcha hota hai – Pepsi
(In life, sometimes, something good always happens)
- Pepsi
In the vicinity of a football match
On a hot and sultry day, the dejected and thirsty football captain of the losing team sits on a stool of a drinks stall and asks for a cool “thanda”.
The sweet smiling face of a burly man greets him warmly with two Pepsi cans. The captain tells the man that he is mistaken, that he only asked for a bottle of Pepsi. So saying, he gives the man the money. The man nods his head, smiling warmly and without speaking pushes the two cans in the direction of the boy.
The puzzled boy looks around the stall. There are drinks of every possible brand. Excited by his happy find, he heads towards his friends and tells them of his story.
Shortly, two boys approach the man and ask him for a [name of another brand]. The man is busy cleaning his stall and does not hear them. The boys raise their voice but to no avail.
Tired and thirsty, as a last resort, they ask for a Pepsi. The man looks up and beams warmly and gives them two cans of Pepsi each.
They are surprised and so run back and share their story with the other mates.
Soon enough, all the boys line up for their share of Pepsi which the man graciously serves them on neat and small tables with comfortable chairs.
Soon the winning team arrives and having heard about the good stall, demand for a can of Pepsi. The man gives them a can each but jacks up the price by a notch or two.
Whoever said losing was a bad thing, did not know of this man and his quaint little stall.
As it is said: Life mein kabhie kabhie kuch na kuch achcha hota hai
Don’t you agree?
