The narrator feels disturbed after receiving a lower appraisal at work despite their hard work. While commuting home, they notice a woman selling homemade products but ignore her. The next day, they see the same woman again, who is struggling to sell her items. The narrator reflects on their own troubles compared to the woman's situation, realizing that she remains calm despite her hardships, including being mute. Feeling compelled to help, the narrator buys some products and is gifted a diya by the woman. This act prompts the narrator to consider who truly is happier—the woman with little who has a big heart or themselves, who has more but is still unhappy. To support the woman, the narrator creates advertisements for her products on social media but initially receives no response. However, the next day, they get a call from a buyer interested in purchasing in bulk. The woman is overwhelmed with emotion upon receiving the good news, and her business begins to thrive. Ultimately, the narrator learns a valuable lesson about perspective: it's up to individuals to choose how they respond to their circumstances, and adopting a positive attitude can lead to a happier life.
