While you enjoy the holiday season, don’t forget to thank the people who work without any break

It’s that time of the year again. When the winter is here, can Christmas and the New Year be far behind? Those away from home are preparing for the most-awaited trip or are already on their way to meet their near and dear ones. If you are with your family, perhaps, you already have an elaborate plan. While most take a vacation during this season, there are others who work tirelessly to make our life better. Let’s not forget to thank them and say a little prayer for their health and happiness.

If you are safe and having a good time with your family, don’t forget to thank the bravehearts of the Indian Army who guard the borders round the clock. We read about the wars they fight and the sacrifices they make for the country and its people but how many of us acknowledge their tireless service or the time they spent away from their families so that we can spend our time with ours?

Have you ever come across a hospital that remains closed during the holiday season? Or a doctor who refuses to treat a patient because he is on a leave? Whether it’s Christmas or the New Year, saving lives and treating people are their sacrosanct duties and they are always there at your service.

What makes any vacation a memorable affair? The beautiful places we visit or the celebrations we have with family. Behind those memories are the people who work tirelessly to make our stay at a hotel or a resort an experience to remember. The holiday season for them means more duties, which they execute with a warm smile and a cheerful attitude.

Misfortunes do not wait for opportunities. However, when safety is concerned, be it in the streets or at our own home, we trust our police force to keep troubles at bay. Similarly, traffic police personnel wait under scorching heat or numbing cold to ensure that our roads remain mishap free and vehicles move uninterrupted. Be it Christmas or the New Year, they are always there for us.

Whether you like them or not, you can never ignore them. The world of journalism remains awake and alert round the clock. Media, also known as the fourth pillar of democracy, ensures that all news reach the right audience at the earliest. Whether it’s a holiday or the busiest day of the year, there is always some news to break.

Have you ever wondered what will happen if the garbage we dispose of is left uncleaned day after day? Forget about the stink that will cover the entire world, we perhaps would be left with no space to move around! Thanks to the manual scavengers, who work tirelessly every morning to collect garbage and keep our streets spick and span, we can breathe easy and lead a clean life.

While you enjoy the holiday season and spend wonderful time with friends and family, don’t forget to count your blessings and offer your gratitude for the beautiful things life has to offer. When you pray for the health and happiness of your family, don’t forget to say a little prayer for the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to make each day a better day for everyone.
