A friend provided this wonderful proverb, transalated in English:

Immature grains stand tall,
whereas fully grown grains bent or bowed down.
Can we draw an analogy of this in personal life... like person with immense talent or knowledege with somebody having little knowledge?

I am blessed

A recent experience, when life was going through tough times, I felt jealous, jealous of people who have "somethings" that I don't, and will take time and god's will to have in future. I thought do these people realise how blessed they are, for what they have others (like me) don't. A second thought just flashed simultaneously, am I aware that I am too blessed with other things which others may not have. It can be anything from having a family, or a home, or a job, or having limbs, etc. etc. I never thought that I am blessed with so many things, until this experience and I thank god for everything I have. Just a note: Of all the thoughts above doesn't mean I don't deserve "somethings" I long for. Its just that I have to try and keep my faith and hopes alive. I wish to see a bright sunny day after a long, dark night.

I need to discover

I need to discover...... my daily local to my office gives me more insight to life than the books or articles I read.

As my station neared, I went to the door. Its my habit to stand first and get out of the local, as early to avoid the rush on the over bridge (all efforts to save my 5 minutes). The mother was standing behind me with the kid. She wanted to get off at the same station as mine. As I turned to the kid, I saw sparkle of mischief in those red eyes and as I turned more towards him I noticed that...

Punishing the wrong child…

This is an old incident, worth thinking on for everything!!! Two cousins – “Good” and “Naughty”, of same age, say around 7-8 years met at their grandparents place. As their pseudo names suggest, Good is obedient, Naughty is defiant; Good is accommodating, Naughty is stubborn and they both differs in practically everything from eating habits to other activities. Good’s mom made him eat everything, every vegetables even if Good likes it or not; Naughty’s mom couldn’t make him all vegetables, he used to eat only potatoes. At Grandma’s place, grandma prepared Brinjal which is disliked by both Good and Naughty. But, Good is ready to Brinjal because of his mom’s sake, whereas Naughty refuses to eat as he wants only potatoes. [ Potatoes happens to be liked by both of them .] Grandma appreciates Good for his wonderful behaviour, as he eats Brinjal, lots of praises for our “good” boy. On the other hand, Grandma prepares potatoes for Naughty and tells him he is not worth of any praises. So far s...
