Dear Sir,

The secret of getting ahead is getting started

Once there was a big corporate company in Delhi by NCR. There was a dhaba across the road, run by a man named Raju. The dhaba served very tasty food. There was a manager in a nearby corporate company whose name was Krishnan. Krishnan decided to have his lunch from the dhaba. He wanted to have the signature dish served in the dhaba. Krishna and Raju knew each other for a very long time. Krishnan used to work for another company in the past still he paid random visits to Raju's dhaba since then, so they knew each other well. 

While Krishnan was having his meal, he said to Raju that he is doing quite good with his business and Krishnan congratulated Raju for his hardwork and the way he manages the things. Krishnan was really impressed with the progress Raju made in his business. Finally, Krishnan added that Raju is wasting his management skills, if Raju could have invested his efforts in a company Raju can be a manager like him. Krishnan's intentions were so good. Raju replied, you may be right but I must say when you started your salary was 10000 rupees. If I look back I started with food on wheels and barely made 1000 rupees per month, I had no capital and now I have a restaurant of my own. I am sure in these 10 years your journey would have been really well and you will be earning in lakhs I agree to it. You work for someone else and earn it and on the other hand I work for myself and earn 3 lakhs per month. I do everything for myself and I am earning much better considering where I started. Krishnan after listening to Raju he started to rethink. Raju continued and said the effort I invested here is for my children's future. I don't want my kids to grow up and start where I began. I want them to have a better start when they think of a career. In the future my kids will take over the business as restaurant owners,  while your kids have to start from where you have started. Your company's owners' will have kids and they will take over and become your boss. They will start working as employees and my kids, at the same time they are owners. Now think, who is wasting their time in their life.

We should foresee the future and invest our time and effort

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. He had a tough time at his work place. Everyday, the employee on his way to and from his office, watched the blind beggar. One day he saw the begger with a note saying 'I am Blind'. 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...
