At first, I didn't bother and continued with my morning exercises but later it started to bother me and I looked at him, he smiled, I smiled too.I completed my warming up and was just about to go for a run, before that, I looked at the old man again and this time saw his shivering hand opening a bottle of "cough syrup"...

Cherishing priceless memories from childhood..

Doing something right, what's the first thing that comes to our mind when we hear this? For that matter, what is doing something right?

Friendship. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear this word? For me, various thoughts come into my mind.
