Proud to be an Indian
Once two gentlemen were traveling by train. One was Paras, a project head in IT. Paras was not quite happy with the train travel. The other person next to him was a well- built gentleman. Paras was keenly observed by his co-passenger. He was killing time by skimming through some contents on his laptop. The other gentleman enquired if Paras was an IT professional, to which he accepted. The other person praised Paras for being an IT professional for being part of great revenue generation for the country. Paras felt proud about his profession but still remained guarded. The other gentleman asked some  more questions about Paras' profession. Paras told him that he started as a low level associate and he used to do complex coding now, he has been promoted and now he has to get the work done. The other gentleman commented “now things would be more easy for you.” Paras said “it is not like that. Meeting the deadlines, getting the work done within the time frame, meeting target - its all a lot of pressure.” 
Paras' co-passenger started to speak now. He said “nobody can understand better than me about target to be met. After the mission to capture 0.4875 I have been assigned with soft assignments now. We were 30 when we were asked to capture 0.4875 from the enemy troop. The enemies were raining bullets upon us, yet we moved to achieve our target. We were on time, we won our target!! We captured 0.4875 and the last 4 survivors from the 30 hosted the Indian flag.”
Paras was shocked to confront; he was indeed talking to an army man who had risked his life for the sake of his homeland. Paras leaned forward to listen further. The gentleman introduced himself as Subedar Sushant.

Sushant continued his story; when they were trying to capture 0.4875, by the time they reached the point, they had had lost 26 soldiers and before they could host the flag one more subordinate was shot on his leg. Sushant made a run to his comrade, but Sushant was ordered to take shelter by his Captain. Sushant tried to convince his Captain that he had pledged his life for the safety of his country and his people. Suddenly, Captain took ownership and moved towards the injured and brought the wounded soldier to safety. 
While doing so, the Captain was shot on his chest. He sacrificed himself to save his teammate. Sushant realized with grief that the bullet that was meant for him was received by the Captain.
On 17th July 1999 Captain Vikram died to save his comrade, he was awarded Param Veer Chakra. As one among the brave souls, who died for their homeland, in the Kargil war.
Meanwhile Subedar Sushant's destination arrived and he packed his belongings. Before he took his leave, Paras shook hands with Sushant with wet eyes and shivering hands.
Sushant shook his hand which protected the country, the same hand which handled AK47, the hand that joined with countless other hands to build the strongest wall of protection for the nation and its people.
Paras realized how silly is his job, his work is nothing compared to a soldier, the willingness to die with pride for the country has no match ever.

We all are safe and alive only because of our soldiers, defending us on land air and water without letting their guard down no matter what the circumstances are. We all, owe them our lives..

The challenge is never physical Once there was a boy named Kuttoos. Kuttoos was a little boy who was so fond of animals and he always wanted a puppy. Kuttoos approached his parents and said he wanted to have a puppy, to which his parents didn't agree. Kuttoos was desperate to have a puppy, his little heart figured out a way. He took his piggy bank and pulled out all the money he had saved, which was roughly 1000 rupees. Kuttoos sneaked out of the house with the money and went to a pet shop. The shop had puppies at quite a high price. Kuttoos approached the owner of the shop and told him about his savings and his determined to have a puppy. The owner told him that the puppies in the shop are too expensive and the boy will not be able to afford them. The boy walked along side of the owner and was watching the puppies in each of the kennel and he happened to notice one puppy among all.  When all the puppies were running and playing around, this one wasn't moving. Kuttoos...

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.

Heirs of many big shots enjoyed playing games at the court and the janitor boy was an obvious victim of their nasty jokes. Besides his goal to be graduated, he eventually took interest in the game. He requested the guys who used the facility for a chance to be part of the game but, as expected, disrespect and rejection was the result!! Ram was not aimed for the basket no miracle happened, the ball didn't reach the basket. The gigglings and sarcastic comments couldn't reach anywhere near Ram. Ram asked the guys for some time to practice. They were kind and they gave him time, expecting more misses from him....
