It is rightly said, \u201cGood deeds always pay off.\u201d What a great-hearted peanut seller did to Indian-origin siblings from America came back as a reward to his bereaved family after 11 years. This is a heart-warming story of a poor peanut vendor from Andhra Pradesh, two Indian-origin siblings from the US, and their mutual values.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In 2010, an Indian American family was on a visit to their hometown, Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh<\/strong>. Kakinada is a coastal city with balmy beaches running into rural outskirts, such as U Kothapalli. The family visited the U Kothapalli Beach to unwind on sands, on the eve of their return flight to USA from Hyderabad<\/a><\/span>. While strolling on the beach, the siblings \u2013 Nemani Pranav and Suchitha \u2013 stopped by a peanut vendor, Ginjala Pedda Sattaiah, and took a packet of peanut from him.<\/p>\n

The next moment their father discovered that he forgot to carry his wallet and had no cash in his pockets. There was no digital payment app 11 years ago. He told the children to return the peanut packet to their dismay. On seeing the children\u2019s unhappiness over this, the vendor denied to take the peanut back and said, \u201cThe payment does not matter.\u201d<\/strong> He requested their father to let the kids enjoy the moment. The family thanked him for the favor and took a photo of him with the phone camera, promising to pay him the next day.<\/p>\n
But the siblings\u2019 father could not make it to the beach before leaving for the airport. The family returned to the US with feelings of gratitude towards Sattaiah and a heavy heart over the unfulfilled promise.<\/strong> Though the family visited the hometown on several occasions in the past 11 years, neither Sattaiah was found on the beach nor his whereabouts could be traced. The sibling duo grew up nurturing fond memories of the peanut vendor\u2019s kindness. They did not let the dust of time to fall on the promise to be kept.<\/p>\n
