KUTTY STORY 10


Put forth your best efforts in each of your work.
Once there was an elderly carpenter who worked for a million worth construction company. The carpenter had been working with the company for the past 40 years and he was an asset to them. One day, the carpenter let the boss know that he was looking to retiring, as he was getting old for the job. 
The owner, had always been very impressed by the carpenter's work and decided to part him with him a nice farewell. 
The boss then asked the carpenter to help him finish off a last project which estimated to around 2 months of work. The carpenter gave it a thought and agreed to his boss. 
The carpenter started his work but, this time, his work was not as perfect as is used to be. The carpenter was already in a mindset to retire and so failed to put forth his best efforts. The carpenter somehow finally finished the work assigned to him. 
He was very eager to meet his boss, to handover his assignment and get relieved from all his duties. 
When the boss arrived, the carpenter received him and opened the car door for him. The boss stepped out and even before going to the office, commended and thanked the carpenter and handed over to him a set of keys - The keys of the house the carpenter worked as his last project.
The boss gifted the house to the carpenter, as he was one the best among his employees and for his long tenure with the company. 
The carpenter was in total despair and he regretted the way he handled his work. The carpenter, now himself, evaluated the last work as his worst work. He realised had he put his best efforts and skills at work, he would have had an amazing house, with pride,  he could have lived the rest of his life with his family. But for now, he can only regret!!

Never leave any stone unturned in your work. Leave behind your signature in your style of work for others to see.

Kutty story #59

   God is within us through our journey of life. The story is about a baby boy who was about to be born into this world. He pleads to God not to send him to earth as it’s very chaotic and deceitful. God convinced him with his soft spoken voice and soft strokes, all about life and death. He tells him its very important for him to be born on earth for a reason. The baby boy finally gives in but asked for a promise from God in return. He asked that God be with him always as he wouldn’t want to go otherwise. So God agrees with a smile. The baby boy asked God “how will I know you are with me when we are on earth as I will not see you”. God replied with a smile “whenever you close your eyes and see you will see two footprints, one will be mine and one will be yours”. So the baby boy was born and life went on as any other baby. He grew into a kid and then into a young man, got settled in life and got really busy with life and its tensions. He had forgotten all about the discussion he had with

The bond Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna were great friends. Both of them were good friends since their days at Sandeepani Saints Ashram as disciples. The students were supposed to follow the instructions by the Saint also they were all supposed to help the master's wife by collecting wood for household purposes. The boys were in charge for collecting flowers for Pooja and wood for cooking.  One day it was ekadashi (the day for fasting) the wife of the master had kept two hands full of dry fruits for Sudhama and Lord Srikrishna as they had to go to the forest. Since it was the day of fasting the students were not allowed to go to the street seeking food from the villagers. However another sage walked into Sandeepani's ashram and asked for food. Sandeepani's wife politely replied they have not cooked anything as it is ekadashi and there is no food in her kitchen to spare for the sage. The sage meditated for a moment and with his inner eye he could see the two hand full of dry fr
