Do good and Don’t ever stop

A woman baked chapatti (roti) for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. 


Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” 

 This went on, day after day. Every day, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and uttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” The woman felt irritated. “Not a word of gratitude,” she said to herself… “Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?” 

One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him. “I shall get rid of this hunchback,” she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him!
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. “What is this I am doing?” she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window sill. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: “The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!”


The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman. Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return.

That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, “Mom, it’s a miracle I’m here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. As he gave it to me, he said, “This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!”

As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale. She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life!

It was then that she realized the significance of the words: “The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!” Do good and Don’t ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.

SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL

Please read this parents!!It is for you and your child..It is very important.


Tirukkural......  by Tiruvalluvar ( a Tamil  poet/writer) was written more than 5000 yrs ago.   It’s the ancient science on Human behaviour, which has not changed inspite of modern education  & technology ! 
SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL

1. If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.

2. If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.

3. If your child had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.

4. If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.

5. If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them chose what they want.

6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.

7. If your child does not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.
 
8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.

9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don’t successfully complete it.

10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.

11. If your child is openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don’t follow through.

12. If your child is secretive, it is because they don’t trust that you won’t blow things out of proportion.

13. If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.

14. If your child doesn’t listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions

15. If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right

It is very very important message to all the parents living in this society..

माणुसकी धर्म

       एक दिवस एक कावळा आणि त्याचा मुलगा झाडावर बसले होते.
कावळ्याचा मुलगा वडिलांना म्हणाला "मी आजपर्यंत सगळ्या प्रकारचे मांस खाल्ले... पण, दोन पायांच्या माणसाचे मांस कधीच खाल्ले नाही.

बाबा, कसा स्वाद असतो हो या दोन पायांच्या जीवाच्या मांसाचा?"

वडील कावळा म्हणाला "आजपर्यंत मी जीवनात ३ वेळा माणसाचे मांस खाल्ले आहे. खूपच चविष्ट असते ते!"
 

मुलगा कावळा लगेच हट्ट करू लागला कि त्याला पण माणसाचे मांस खायचे आहे. वडील कावळा म्हणाला, "ठीक आहे, पण थोडा वेळ वाट पहावी लागेल आणि मी जसे सांगेन तसे
तुला करावे लागेल. माझ्या वाडवडिलांनी मला हि चतुराई शिकवून ठेवली आहे ज्यामुळे आपल्याला खाणे मिळू शकेल." मुलगा कावळा "होय" म्हणाला.

त्यानंतर वडील कावळ्याने मुलाला एका जागी बसवले व तो उडून निघून गेला आणि परत येताना मांसाचे २ तुकडे तोंडात  घेवून आला. एक तुकडा स्वतःच्या तोंडात धरला व दुसरा तुकडा मुलाच्या तोंडात दिला,
तुकडा तोंडात घेता क्षणी मुलगा म्हणाला, "शी बाबा, तुम्ही कसल्या घाणेरड्या चवीचे मांस
आणले आहे. असले खाणे मला नको."

वडील कावळा म्हणाला, "थांब, तो तुकडा खाण्यासाठी नसून फेकण्यासाठी आहे. हा एक तुकडा टाकून आपण आता मांसाचे ढीग तयार करणार आहोत. उद्या पर्यंत वाट बघ. तुला मांसच मांस खायला मिळेल आणि ते
सुद्धा माणसाचे."

मुलाला हे काही कळले नाही कि एका मांसाच्या तुकड्यावर मांसाचे ढीग कसे काय निर्माण होणार ?
पण त्याचा त्याच्या वडिलावर विश्वास होता. थोड्या वेळाने कावळा वडील एक तुकडा घेवून
आकाशात उडाला आणि त्याने तो तुकडा एका मंदिरात टाकला आणि परत येवून दुसरा तुकडा उचलला व तो दुसरा तुकडा एका मशिदीच्या आत टाकला.

मग तो झाडावर येवून बसला. वडिल कावळा मुलाला म्हणाला, "आता बघ उद्या सकाळपर्यंत मांस खायला मिळते कि नाही ते?"

थोड्याच वेळात सगळीकडे गलका झाला, ना कुणाला कुणाचे ऐकू येत होते, ना कोणी कोणाचे ऐकून घेत होते.

फक्त धर्म भावना विखारी झाली होती. धर्माच्या नावाखाली रक्ताच्या चिळकांड्या उडत
होत्या.... आई, मुलगा, बहिण, भाऊ, वडील, काका, शेजारी, मित्र असे कोणतेच नाते लक्षात न घेत फक्त धर्म बघून एकमेकांवर वार चालू होते.

आमच्या धर्माचा अपमान झाला त्याचा बदला घेतलाच पाहिजे असे दोघेही म्हणत होते आणि यात निरपराध मारले जात होते. खूप वेळ यातच निघून गेला आताशा गाव शांत होवू लागले होते कारण रस्त्यावर फक्त आणि फक्त रक्तच सांडलेले दिसत होते. विशेष म्हणजे ते रक्त लाल रंगाचे होते... त्यात कुठल्याच धर्माची छटा नव्हती. 

ते फक्त एकच धर्म पाळत होते ते म्हणजे प्रवाही पणाचा.. गांव निर्मनुष्य भकास झाले होते.... सर्वत्र भयाण शांतता पसरली होती. या धुमश्चक्रीतून फक्त २ जीव सुटले होते ते म्हणजे झाडावरचे कावळे.

आता कावळ्याचे पोर माणसाची शिकार करायला शिकले होते. कावळ्याच्या पोराने बापाला प्रश्न विचारला,
"बाबा, हे असेच नेहमी होते का?  आपण भांडणे लावतो आणि माणसाच्या लक्षात कसे येत नाही?"

कावळा म्हणाला, "अरे या मुर्ख माणसाना कधीच आपला धर्म कळला नाही. माणुसकी हा धर्म सोडून ते नको त्या गोष्टी करत बसले आणि आपल्यासारखे कावळे त्यांचा फायदा घेवून जातात, हे त्यांच्या लक्षातही येत नाही. माणूस म्हणून जगण्यापेक्षा यांनी जात आणि धर्म यांचेच जास्त प्रस्थ माजविले आहे.आणि त्याचा गैरफायदा इतर तिसरे कोणी तरी घेवून जातात."

 इतके बोलून दोघे बाप-लेक मांस खाण्यासाठी उडून गेले.

Date With A Woman…!

After 21 years of Marriage, my Wife wanted me to take another Woman out to Dinner and a Movie.

She said I Love You but I know this other Woman loves you too and would Love to spend some Time with You.

The other Woman that my Wife wanted me to take out was my MOTHER who has been a Widow for 19 years, but the demands of my Work and my three Children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to Invite her to go out for Dinner and a Movie.

'What's wrong, are you well,' she asked?

My Mother is the type of Woman who suspects that a Late Night Call or a Surprise Invitation is a sign of Bad News.

'I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you,'
I responded. 'Just the two of us'

She thought about it for a moment, and then said,
'I would like that very much.'

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit Nervous.
When I arrived at her House, I noticed that she too seemed to be Nervous about our Date.

She waited in the Door with her Shawl on.

She had set her Hair and was wearing the Dress that she had worn to Celebrate her last Wedding Anniversary.

She smiled from a face that was as Radiant as an Angel's.

'I told my Friends that I was going to go out with My Son, and they were impressed, '
She said, as she got into the Car.

'They can't wait to hear about our meeting'.

We went to a Restaurant that, although not Elegant, was very Nice and Cozy.

My Mother took my Arm as if She were the First Lady.

After we sat down, I had to read the Menu. Large Print.
Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me.
A Nostalgic Smile was on her Lips.

'It was I who used to have to Read the Menu when you were young,' She said.

'Then it's Time that you Relax and let me Return the Favor,' I responded.

During the Dinner, we had an Agreeable Conversation, nothing Extra-ordinary, but catching up on recent Events of each others Life.

We talked so much that we missed the Movie.

As we arrived at her House later, She said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.'

I agreed.

'How was your Dinner Date?' asked My Wife when I got Home.

'Very Nice. Much more so than I could have Imagined,' I answered.

A few days later, my Mother died of a Massive Heart Attack.

It happened so suddenly that I didn't have Time to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an Envelope with a Copy of a Restaurant Receipt
From the same place Mother and I had dined.

An Attached Note Said:

'I paid this Bill in Advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; But nevertheless, I paid for Two Plates  One for You and the Other for Your Wife. You will never know what that night meant to Me. 

I Love You, My Son.'

At that moment, I understood the Importance of saying in Time:
'I LOVE YOU!' and to give our Loved Ones the Time that they Deserve.

Nothing in Life is more important than God, your Family and friends.

Give them the Time they Deserve, because these Things cannot be
Put Off till 'Some Other Time.'

Story of 10 dogs!

There was a king who had 10 wild dogs...
He used to use them to torture and eat all ministers who make mistakes.

So one of the ministers, once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn’t like at all…
So he ordered that the minister to be thrown to the dogs.

So the minister said,
"I served you 10 years and you do this..?

Please give me 10 days at least before you throw me in with those dogs!
So the king agreed…

In those 10 days the minister went to the guard that was guarding the dogs and told him that he wanted to serve the dogs for the next 10 days…

The guard was baffled…
But he agreed…
So the minister started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, washing them, providing all sorts of comfort for them.

So when the 10 days were up…


The king ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs for his punishment.

But when he was thrown in,

Everyone was amazed at what they saw..
They saw the dogs licking the feet of the minister!

So the king baffled at what he saw… Said:” what happened to the dog. !!!”

The minister then said;”
I served the dogs for 10 days and they didn’t forget my service…
Yet I served you for 10 years and you forgot all at the first mistake!”…

So the king realized his mistake

 and

 Brought wolves instead 😂



 1. Don't be like the minister, change jobs at appropriate time so that you are not thrown to the dogs; 
                 
2. Don't be the dogs, as you can be thrown out for foxes and wolves.

                                

Love your job, not your company. Because your love for job will get you other jobs, but love for company will either get you to dogs and wolves when company stops loving you....!

Love your work, your passion for work; business or employer will reciprocate!
