The Teacher
It was a classroom for the fifth graders, the classteacher was Divya. Every other day when the teacher stepped into the class she said “I love you all” but she didn't mean that because there was a boy in the class by name Raju. 
Divya mam never liked the boy, his scores were so poor he couldn't even answer a single question in the class. After the mid-term exams the teacher prepared the progress card for all the students and a briefing about their individual performances in the class.
Raju's progress didn’t have a single positive word on it, as he had scored nothing but failure in all the subjects. The progress cards were supposed to be checked and signed by the principal before it was sent to the parents. The principal noticed the progress card of Raju reflecting nothing in progress. The principal called upon the class teacher Divya. She explained how she was fed up with the boy and she had nothing in favor of the boy. 
The next morning, the principal arranged for the previous class records of the boy and summoned Divya. Divya was so confident that Raju couldn't be any better in the past as well. Divya slowly went through Raju's reports from his previous grades. 
As a third grader Raju was the topper of his class!! Moving to the fourth grade the comments on the progress card reflected that Raju's mother was sick, further Raju's mother was detected with chronic cancer, Raju's mother passed away and suddenly Raju downgraded from the topper of the class to the bottom liner. Divya couldn't hold back her tears. She felt sorry for her actions. 
Divya went to the class that day. Asusual she said “I love you all” but even this time she didnt mean what she said because, this time, all her attention and love was only for Raju. Divya asked a question and when Raju couldn't answer it, she called him to her and explained him the answer and asked Raju to repeat the answer to the class. Divya invested great effort on Raju and brought him back to his true potential. 
By the end of the fifth grade Raju became Divya's favorite student and Divya Raju's favorite teacher. Before the school closed for summer vacation all the students bought gifts for Divya as she was their classteacher. Among the gifts, there was one, wrapped with an old wrapping paper. Everyone knew it was Raju's gift. Divya opened the gift and found an old bangle and half filled perfume bottle. Raju told Divya that those belonged to his mother and she is no more but he found his mother in her now.
Years passed Raju turned out to be a successful young man, but he has never seized contacting his teacher. Raju sent an invitation along with a flight ticket for his teacher to attend his marriage. Raju was so adamant that he will not tie the knot till his teacher arrived. All the guests from the bride's side as well as the groom's side were curious to know who this person was and why she is so important. 
Finally when Divya arrived, Raju proudly introduced her as his Mother!!!!

A teacher is not just someone who teaches us but somebody who is capable of finding and bringing out our true potential

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...

The life each wished for Once there lived two farmers in a village. The farmers were friends and they worked really hard. They, more or less had the same share of land in the village and eventually with time, both of them died in the same period.  After their death both the farmers were in their after life. God asked both the farmers the same question. The first farmer was asked: how was his life and how could have God made it better for him. The farmer was so annoyed and disgraced with all the hardship he had in his life. The farmer said he had no luxury, he and his family barely had anything to enjoy. They struggled to manage each day. God kept quiet and asked the farmer what he wanted to become in his next life. The farmer wished to be someone who is unquestioned and who people gave money to. God blessed him and granted his desire.  God approached the other farmer with the same question. The farmer said he was really glad with the life God had given him. The farmer thanked ...
