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

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...
