Scorching sun, rainfall, shivery cold, he used to cope up with all the seasons equally and kept himself engaged in work.

He also used to light bonfire so that no animal causes any damage to the crops and for sake of his own security too.

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE

BE YOUR OWN JUDGE *********************** Today, I am sharing with all the voracious readers a very old story; but it has relevance with our life even today. In a village, a potter was following his ancestral profession since so many years. He used to shape up clay and turned it into form of *chillum. A huge banyan tree, with wide stretched branches was growing since last so many years in the courtyard of the potter. Its branches seemed as if with extended arms, it was inviting passers-by to come and relax under its shade. When passers-by  passed through that village, they  were tempted to relax under its dense shade; sat their for sometime; filled * chillum with tobacco and enjoyed a few puffs from *hukka and moved on to their further journey, feeling utterly relaxed. Once, a saint stayed in that very village for a couple of days. He observed that very often, passers-by halted under the tree, flourishing in the courtyard of the potter, relaxed under its shade; took chillum fr...

SWIGGY DELIVERY BOY

  SWIGGY DELIVERY BOY Approximately, at 9 p.m., I was moving back to home, after late evening walk in my society premises. Pressed the button of lift. Same moment, a Swiggy delivery boy was also about to press the button to call lift. I asked him to which floor he will be going to deliver the order. I, too, had placed an order a few minutes ago; so, I thought if he is going to deliver my order, why not to take from him here only directly, as it will save a bit of his time. But this packet was meant to be delivered to someone else.  That exhausted person thanked me for this kind offer and then narrated to me in a tired tone that in the process of delivering orders whole day, his hands get rashes while driving and tremble; but he has no option except mustering courage. For the time being, to console himself, a pleasing thought is enough that his son will complete his Military training after two months; after that he will leave this job. I could not stop myself from suggesting hi...
