A glass of water to restart

Once there was a man working as a clerk in a Bank and always had a busy day. He used to get angry upon seeing too many people asking too many questions. He met different kind of people everyday. He was always annoyed. As usual, once, on a busy day he was annoyed at the customers. He showed his annoyance to all the customers verbally. 

There was an old lady who submitted the form, the form was filled with a lot of mistakes and the clerk shouted at the lady. A man from the queue brought a glass of cool water from the cooler to the clerk and asked the clerk to drink it as he was talking to everyone. The clerk was surprised for a moment and he drank the water. The clerk was relaxed and his anger melted somehow. The day ended. 

The customer who bought the water for the clerk and the clerk himself went back to their respective homes. As soon as he reached his home, the clerk realised that things were different when he was calm. After sometime the clerk figured out the contact number of the gentleman who gave him water at work and gave him a call. The man answered the call and the clerk thanked him. The person at the other end was surprised to hear from the clerk. The man asked why was he being thanked? 

The clerk said when he reached his home his mother and wife were arguing. It was a

routine for his mother and wife to keep fighting. The clerk gave some water to drink to his wife and his mother. Both of them drank the water and calmed down and quickly the intensity of the situation settled. 

The clerk realised when anger is handled with love and care it settles things.

Everything can be fought back the best in the same kind, but not anger

Anger must be treated with love and kindness

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...

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.

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.

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...
