SMALL GESTURES.

 The words 'please 'and 'thank you' are used by each one of us in our daily life so many times. Do you know how much powerful they are?  Here is an example.  A lady had a habit of buying betel leaves from a paan broker every week she went to buy vegetables in the vegetable market. She used to give change of ten rupees to paan seller and get the betel leaves from him As betel leaves were not easily available there she could not get them anywhere else and was forced to give ten rupees for four leaves instead ten leaves . But instead of grumbling over the loss she used to thank the paan seller for selling the betel leaves for they donot appreciate the idea of selling the leaves separately instead of paan. [two leaves are enough to make a paan and it costs about three times the rate of leaves.]. This paan seller also used to provide change to that lady.

           One day it had rained heavily and the market was very slippery . There were very few people at the market and they were in a hurryto return to their homes before it started to rain again. Unfortunately this lady slipped and hurt her leg. It pained a  lot and she could not move her leg.  There was no one to help her. She tried calling her husband frantically but of no use. She did not know what to do. Nobody was ready to help her.  But then this paan wallah came to her rescue.  He got a auto , helped her to get in and sent her home. It might be a small help but a timely one   A timely help is always appreciated than an ordinary one.  All she did to get that timely help was just saying the two ordinary words  'please and thank-you.

FARTHER THE BETTER

                             

  Just now I read an article about effects of alcohol  by my blogger friend Mr Alok Singhal. What he has expressed is exactly true.  But I think  that if a person starts consuming alcohol, he slowly gets addicted to it and it is a herculean task for him to refrain from drinking. Slowly the quantity he drinks increases leading him to all illness. This habit haunts him till his death. So it is always better to stay from this. Why to entertain a habit when we know that nothing useful comes out of it?  
                                                         

A HEARTY MESSAGE

                         Of late ,many people are dying because of heart attacks-----a sign of defeat in the age of modern technology. The reason may be junk food, bad life style, stress,  or what not . Even youngsters of the age 35 or 40 are becoming victims of the heart attack. They value money more than health as a result spend most of the time in earning money. They are not health conscious, smoke, drink, eat junk food which all lead to the blocking of arteries and valves. And one day or perhaps one fine night they get a stroke. A few years before only ma ternary hospitals were full of patients. But of late cardiologists, urologists, oncologists all have pockets full of patients and accounts full of money.
                        The common man unaware of the sequences gets addicted to bad habits at the college age and by the time he starts realizing his mistakes and starts correcting them it is too late. When he himself is unable to walk in a right path what is he going to teach his children? Youngsters atleast  now start thinking. See the evil effects of bad habits and stop them atonce. Practice yoga and medication to overcome stress. Live and lead a healthy life. Let your children learn your good qualities. Then you can rest in peace at your old age not worrying about children's health for they would have learnt only good things from you

imPURE PICTURE

                      They tell they respect women -

but the photos they post decrease the impact of the message they try to deliver. Should they not try to put a more decent photo of a pregnant woman which is ofcourse not difficult to get.  When the mind starts thinking pure,  pure actions will follow.  

SALUTE TO AGE

                     I am so confused today on reading an article about how an 92 year old lady still works to earn a living. this information was posted on facebook and she got many likes. My confusion was should such an old woman work still? If she has children and still has to work  government should see that her children are punished for making her work. If she has none to look after then government should arrange for a living.  At that ripe age none would like to work. Their heart and soul  yearn for rest and we should understand it. And
that too making them do difficult tasks just in the name of dignity or respect is a sure no--no!
                                                      

A SHELTERING DEED

                 Food, clothing and shelter are the important  basic needs of every living person. Some are blessed to have these in abundance while some are deprived of these basic needs.  While food and  clothing can be arranged for the needy with the help of philanthropists and like minded people, arranging dwellings or helping the poor to have their own shelters is a difficult task, as it involves a lot of money, labour and time. Since Christian Sarkar  has taken a step forward. to provide those who live in dark ghettos with low cost housing solution, this should be appreciated.

                         A proper house is a dream for many which sometimes goes unfulfilled. so when such a option like low cost housing solution is available ,  many are likely to get benefited.So Sarkar can be thanked for puttingforth such a idea

REVIVING THE PAST

                      Today I saw a  talented man in my lane  He was carrying a basket full of bamboo guitars, balancing it carefully on his head .  He was playing it with his two hands , walking briskly in the lane , trying to sell them.  This instrument was simple in its structure--just a strong twig of desired length  with a small cup made of clay at one end . another twig and string in bow shape.  even though it was simple  it give out melodious tunes, and the person was talented in giving out latest numbers. such artists should be encouraged by the govt for they are struggling to survive.
