Gratitude is important
Once there was a rich lady who sought assistance from a therapistas she was very disappointed with her life. The therapist looked at the lady and found her well-dressed and well-groomed, it didnt seem like she was having any dearth. The therapist asked the lady to explain.
The lady said she had everything but peace of mind. Although she had everything many aspire and dream about, she couldn't find a reason to be happy and satisfied with her life. She wanted to kill herself. The therapist asked the lady to relax in the first place and called on to a housekeeping lady staff who was cleaning the hospital corridor. The housekeeping lady stepped in to the consulting room. The therapist asked her to speak about herself. 
The housekeeping lady had lost her husband due to Malaria three months back and she lost her only son in a road accident. She was devastated she wanted to end her life. For months, she didn't feel like speaking to anyone, eating anything or doing anything. She further explained “sometime back when I was walking home, a small kitten followed me home. It was a cold night and it was drizzling too. The kitten was so young and weak, I shared my shelter with it and I gave it some warm milk. The kitten quickly drank it, upon watching the kitten, I felt happy and I poured some more milk which it drank it too. The kitten came around and started to lick and cuddle my feet. I felt more happiness watching the kittens actions. After a long time the kitten was able to bring a smile on my face. Now that's when I realized if I can favor someone with a small gesture of kindness, if my actions will bring some happiness to anybody's life, I can be happy about that. Next day I packed some food for my sick elderly neighbor and I served him the same. He was so happy. It was after that I joined this hospital. I help as many people as I can and I stay happy with that. It is important to realise how much happiness you can bring to others with your small actions and gestures. We all lose our happiness because we constantly think of how much happiness we have received. There is no match for the happiness I saw on the face of the starving kitten and the way it showed its gratitude, the face of the man when he got some food, there is no definition to any of it they are all deeply beautiful and it gave me a lot of happiness.”
This incident brought light to the rich woman and she went home with deep realization and satisfaction.
Smile is contagious. Any professional should start his / her day with a smile on the face which will eventually make others associated with him / her also smile. Your smile can change the very atmosphere you are in. A smile is the key to stay happy, positive and it will take away our stress. Give your best to keep up your smile, spread joy and happiness and stay happy.

The saying is very true a taker may eat well but a giver will sleep well for sure

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...
