Whenever I'm having a bad day. I take a trip to Bose's canteen, just to see if more food can drown my stress. Most times,there's this tall man, standing over 6 feet above the ground. His presence never goes unnoticed. Always smiling. And being very friendly and sweet.Good vibes around him. I'm a very introverted person and seeing someone this outgoing usually gets me wondering. Once he spots me, he usually goes 'Where have you been? You are so scarce'. I'd smile back knowing fully well how busy he is and how he is the scarce one. He reminds me everytime that I have a beaming smile. And I always look natural. I loved hearing those words from him because many times, it was all I needed to make my day brighter. He usually did this so casually, so effortlessly and with everyone he met. I heard of his passing today. He died while flying his glider plane and the first thing that came to mind was how pleasant he was. How he had no airs around him. Unknowingly making others happier. It made me realise that every little habit you develop to make someone else smile is a permanent impression. Today and always, I would make more efforts into making people feel better about themselves, loving humans while they are around, just because the world needs more happy people like Monu Ogbe.
