Mother : Love

This is the story of a woman who is a mother to three men. As the mother aged she equally divided all her wealth among her 3 children and she also announced that she will be staying with each of her sons for 3 months. All the three brothers were really excited to welcome their mother home and take care of her. They were happy to see her. Eventually the excitement among the brothers and their family seemed to be lost somewhere. The children were not that happy to see their mother. The mother began to feel the pain of this.

 One day she had a friend visit her. The mother broke down into tears and the friend embraced her and gave her a suggestion. 

The mother returned to one of her sons with a jewellery box. The son and his family were curious to know what was within the box and they asked her. The mother said the box was very precious and that the box should be opened only after her death. The son passed the information to his other two brothers. All three sons and their wivves were all eager to know what was in the box and if mother had more such valuable possessions. They all began to take care of her very finely. They expressed a lot of love and affection to her. The mother lived happily for another 10 years. 

At the age of 80 it was finally time for her to leave the materialistic world. The friend of their deceased mother who visited long back showed up at the funeral with the key to the jewellery box which their mother was keeping for a long time. The three brothers took a break from everything they were doing and rushed to the lady. The friend of their mother gave the key to the elder son. The man hurried to the box, accompanied by his brothers. 

The brothers opened the box. They found a few stones in the box. The brothers were surprised to end up just with some stones. One among the three asked the elder brother to check the small drawer of the box. The elder brother checked the box thoroughly to find a letter in the box. The letter was from their mother. 

The letter was enclosed with words that carried the pain of their mother. The brothers read the letter. The letter said how she failed as a mother to teach them the real value of life. Her sons were bound to wealth, they valued money above anything. Now that they have loved her and taken care of her for the possessions, the love and care shed by the brothers to their mother was purely for the sake of her wealth, it hurted her a lot. 

She wanted them to change, to be more human and worthy to the people and the relationships above anything. A mother is someone who sacrificed many things for the sake of family especially for her children and if we don't treat them right we are the worst.


There is no wealth that can even be a competition to a mother's love

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...

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 ...
