It's common for most people today to have hundreds of friends in the virtual world. However, in the real world, they barely know a handful of them. People spend lakhs to live in nice neighborhoods, but hardly ever stop over to say hello to one another.

A similar scenario is seen in this ad going viral with over a million views on YouTube. An old man, with a walking stick, goes about his neighborhood noticing how aloof people are from one another. No one in his society greets one another or even acknowledges the other's presence, let alone another's problem.

This goes on for a while until he finds a packet of seeds lying forgotten on the ground. As he sits wondering what the world has come to, a little kid walks up to him and asks what he has in his hands. And suddenly, that little packet of seeds turns into a project for all the neighborhood kids.

The children sow the seeds, water it, and nurture the plant together, under the old man's guidance. 
As time passes, the little project and the efforts of kids manages to attract their parents and other members of the society too. By the time the first few tomatoes sprout on the plant, everyone in the society is hooked; the next few result in a celebration.

The video makes for a wonderful watch and will definitely bring a smile to your face. Take a look below:
