The Teacher
It was a classroom for the fifth graders, the classteacher was Divya. Every other day when the teacher stepped into the class she said “I love you all” but she didn't mean that because there was a boy in the class by name Raju. 
Divya mam never liked the boy, his scores were so poor he couldn't even answer a single question in the class. After the mid-term exams the teacher prepared the progress card for all the students and a briefing about their individual performances in the class.
Raju's progress didn’t have a single positive word on it, as he had scored nothing but failure in all the subjects. The progress cards were supposed to be checked and signed by the principal before it was sent to the parents. The principal noticed the progress card of Raju reflecting nothing in progress. The principal called upon the class teacher Divya. She explained how she was fed up with the boy and she had nothing in favor of the boy. 
The next morning, the principal arranged for the previous class records of the boy and summoned Divya. Divya was so confident that Raju couldn't be any better in the past as well. Divya slowly went through Raju's reports from his previous grades. 
As a third grader Raju was the topper of his class!! Moving to the fourth grade the comments on the progress card reflected that Raju's mother was sick, further Raju's mother was detected with chronic cancer, Raju's mother passed away and suddenly Raju downgraded from the topper of the class to the bottom liner. Divya couldn't hold back her tears. She felt sorry for her actions. 
Divya went to the class that day. Asusual she said “I love you all” but even this time she didnt mean what she said because, this time, all her attention and love was only for Raju. Divya asked a question and when Raju couldn't answer it, she called him to her and explained him the answer and asked Raju to repeat the answer to the class. Divya invested great effort on Raju and brought him back to his true potential. 
By the end of the fifth grade Raju became Divya's favorite student and Divya Raju's favorite teacher. Before the school closed for summer vacation all the students bought gifts for Divya as she was their classteacher. Among the gifts, there was one, wrapped with an old wrapping paper. Everyone knew it was Raju's gift. Divya opened the gift and found an old bangle and half filled perfume bottle. Raju told Divya that those belonged to his mother and she is no more but he found his mother in her now.
Years passed Raju turned out to be a successful young man, but he has never seized contacting his teacher. Raju sent an invitation along with a flight ticket for his teacher to attend his marriage. Raju was so adamant that he will not tie the knot till his teacher arrived. All the guests from the bride's side as well as the groom's side were curious to know who this person was and why she is so important. 
Finally when Divya arrived, Raju proudly introduced her as his Mother!!!!

A teacher is not just someone who teaches us but somebody who is capable of finding and bringing out our true potential

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 ...
