In Norway, it’s common to see people paying for extra food and drink as a “Suspension” for those in need. Without revealing their identity, they help unknown poor and needy people. This “culture” is spreading in Europe. Can it start in India too?
In Norway, a country in Europe, it’s common to see a heartwarming scene in restaurants. Customers will often approach the cash counter and order extra food or drink as a “Suspension” for those in need. They pay for the extra items and take only what they need, leaving the rest for someone else. Later, someone in need may come to the counter and ask if there are any “ Suspended” items available. The staff will then provide them with the food or drink that was paid for earlier by another customer.
This tradition of anonymously helping unknown poor and needy people is deeply ingrained in Norwegian culture. And it’s not just limited to restaurants – it’s said that this “culture” of paying it forward is spreading to many other countries in Europe.
Can such a practice of “Suspension” of food and drink also be started in India? Imagine the impact it could have if we all took small steps to help those in need, without expecting anything in return.
