Make the world a better place

In the lap of forest once lived a donkey. On a fine afternoon, after a nice full meal, the donkey was resting underneath a coconut tree. He got nothing to do, so he let himself sink in thoughts, a whole lot of negative thoughts! 
He thought, what would happen if the whole world just collapsed? Just as he was thinking....he heard a loud noise!! Upon hearing the noise, the donkey opened his eyes and he saw the rising clouds of dust, and he immediately believed that its the world collapsing exactly as he imagined it. The donkey ran in panic.
On his way another donkey saw him running and when asked he informed him about the world that is collapsing. The donkey spread the same word to the monkeys, bears, birds and every living being in the forest. All of them started to run and howl in panic. 
The lion king who was having a nap, was disturbed by the panic. He woke up and came across the news of the world collapsing and he asked everyone to assemble. The King analysed the situation and asked everyone how they came to the conclusion that the world is collapsing. Everyone took names of the other one and finally all the fingers tended to point towards the donkey. Now the king asked the donkey how he came to spread such a message.
The Donkey explained the situation wherein he heard the loud noise and the rising dust. The lion took the donkey and other animals to the coconut tree where the donkey was resting a while ago. 
The noise the donkey heard was from a bunch of coconut that fell down from a tall coconut tree in the wind, it was the same wind that caused the dust to rise. All the animals realized their mistake. Everyone heard the word and spread the word without checking the facts.

Fact in gossip is like plain porridge being publicized as the spicy oysters Rockefeller, if we look for the spicy oyster Rockefeller, we will never get to it because there isn't any!

The food for thought here is “The world will be a much better place if we can talk to each other than talk about each other”

2.     Mother's Love It was a hot summer day. There was a chemist along with his assistant doing brisk trade under the mid-noon hot sun. The pharmacist noticed an old woman across the road, staring at the shop for a long time. The shopkeeper suggested to the assistant to take care of the customers in the line and he went to check on the old lady.  The chemist crossed the road and approached her and asked her “why you are standing here alone, do you need any help from me”. The lady said she was fine. She had a son who lives in the city with his wife and three children. He and his family came and visited her every summer but this time he called her up last night and said he is going to a hill station with his family so he will not be visiting her this summer. He might come next summer. Saying this, her wrinkled grey eyes shed tears of pain out of a broken heart.  The shopkeeper was muted for a moment and he had no words for her. The mother held h...

KUTTY STORY 1

STORY.1 It is not necessary that time favours you every time. Sometimes, it teaches a lesson : How to lead a disciplined life through difficulties Once there were two youngsters, one had an office job and the other, being blind, used to beg on the pavement of the office complex where the other worked.  The employee was never appreciated by anyone in his office and so he was demotivated.

The employee walked up to the begger and made a small change in the note and carried on with his day.  At the end of the day, on his way back from office the employee  was curious to know if his small change in the note made any difference to the beggar. As he neared the place, the begger recognized the employee with his foot steps and said  " I understand you are the one who cam...

Kutty story #61

World moves on without you: There lived a teacher in a small village. He had a wife, a son who was doing his higher studies and daughter who was ready to get married. He was living a contented life when a thought came to his mind that totally disturbed his peaceful existence.  He suddenly thought that he was the reason the whole family was happy. He felt that things wouldn’t be the same for them in his absence. This thought bred in him and over a few days turned into an ego in himself. One day when he was introspecting himself as a teacher he realized that he had become egoistic but it was already late as the ego had got the better of him already. At around the same time, a yogi arrived in the village and coincidentally he was speaking about controlling ones egos and vices. The yogi said that the world remains the same although many have come and left before this and continue to do so. After the talk, the teacher approached the yogi and confesses to him that hes already suffering w...
