The stones never found

It was a family reunion after a very long time. Appetizing aroma of the food filled the mansion and everyone in the family were enjoying its flavor of the biryani. The biryani took a long time to be prepared. The family members waited so long and eventually their appetite peaked as well. Finally the biryani was served and as soon as the family members started their feast, the chef told aloud to be careful while eating the biryani. A member of the family asked the reason for it. The chef said there were stones among the rice and he removed the stones as much as he could and he didn't want anyone to eat a stone and ruin the taste of the meal. The family members who were talking, shouting and having fun quickly turned quiet and they were all focused on the stones which they may get. Everyone ate the biryani slowly and they were not really enjoying the moment, not really enjoying the taste of the meal they were having. After some time they were all done with their food and luckily none of them got any stones from their portion so far. A family member called upon the chef and said none of them got any stones. 

The chef said he was just making sure that no one gets any stone and he at his best had removed the maximum stones still there may have been one or two missed by him.

We are among the family members, the reunion and the biriyani are all the good things that we are supposed to enjoy and live with, but here we are, we are all focused on the stones in the biryani; the problems of our life or the problems in our beloved ones' lives. We may bite a stone, we shall deal with it then, but we all end up ruining the present moment.

Problems are a part of life. What matters is what are we focused on,

Is it the problems or the pleasant present we have?

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...
