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...

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 ...

Strong roots Sangeetha and her husband were staying in a housing colony. Next doors to them lived an old man. Everyone addressed him as grandpa. One day a man who sold plants was in the colony. Sangeetha and the grandpa bought the same plant and planted it in their yard. Sangeetha had her education in agriculture and knew everything about the plant. Sangeetha watered the plant and used the right fertilizers and pesticides for her plant and she was so prompt with her schedule. After days both the plants were easily distinguishable. Sangeetha's plant was so green and flourished beautifully. Grandpa's plant was barely anything.  One evening, thunder and storm rampaged the area, everyone and everything was affected. The whole night heavy wind blew. The next morning grandpa and Sangeetha came out to check their plants. Sangeetha's plant was totally damaged, even the last strand of root was pulled out of the soil by the wind. Grandpa's plant on the other hand was just bent, n...
