Our tip - their celebration
Raj and Sakshi were married and they were living a busy life. Raj was putting his clothes for laundry when Sakshi stopped him and informed him that their maid is on a leave for the next two days. Sakshi asked Raj to give their maid some extra money. Raj was not quite interested in doing so. Sakshi tried to convince him but he was not paying enough attention to her. Finally she suggested that they can cancel the pizza they had planned for evening and will spare that amount of Rs.500 for their maid. Raj agreed and Sakshi gave the money to their maid. 
The maid returned after her leave and she was doing her chores. Raj  casually asked her about her trip to native and her festival celebrations. The maid said she had a good time and how she was grateful to Raj and Sakshi for giving her the extra money. Raj was surprised and asked the maid how can she be so happy with five hundred rupees. The maid explained how she bought a small frock and a doll for her granddaughter, a pair of bangle for her daughter, a belt for her son-in-law, some sweets for their home and she managed her travel expenses. She even donated a small amount for charity and with what was left with her, she gave it to her daughter and asked her to get some snacks by the time the little one gets back from school. 
Raj realized how much worthy was that five hundred rupees for the maid while for him, it was just 8 slices of pizza.
If an unnecessary need can be compromised for someone else's emergency we must take a call and do it

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...

Ritual Once a Sadhu finished meditation and got up to find a wounded kitten. As he was a very kind man, he took the kitten to his ashram and started taking care of it. The kitten eventually recovered and grew to be a pet to Sadhu. The kitten was a very naughty one, it always play around the sadhu.  The Sadhu began to get distracted from his meditation. So one day, the Sadhu asked one of his followers to tie the kitten to the tree in front of the ashram. The disciple did so without a question. In some time it became a practice that whenever the sadhu started to meditate, the kitten will be tied to the tree. After some time, the Sadhu passed away. The senior-most monk who now became the sadhu, continued to tie the kitten to the tree while he was meditating. The practice continued. Every sadhu followed the ritual of tying the kitten to the tree when they meditated. After sometime the cat died.. The whole ashram was under chaos, thinking and brought a new cat to the ashram to ...
