  • ” Price of time “

    The owner where Shonti was working for a few days asked him to cut a tree and bring it. Shonti picked up his best ax and went to try his hand at the tree.

    He waved his hand for hours but the tree did not get cut. Shonti was drenched in sweat. Perhaps the way of cutting was not right, the ax was falling straight or maybe the edge itself was deceiving.

    He did not get success for a long time, then one of his loyal friends “Monti” passing by suggested that – “Why don’t you sharpen the edge by rubbing it on a stone?”

    After listening to his advice, Shonti said – “I cannot waste time. I have to cut this tree by tomorrow.”

    Now some people are also like our Shonti. Those who just go on working, go on doing it. They don’t do anything to improve it. Repeating the same mistake again and again. While this should not be done.

    We should keep bringing new improvements in our work, so that it takes less time to do our work, but the work can be done faster and better than last time.

    Even in the “world’s oldest language” Sanskrit, a verse is found on time that ~

    इदमद्य करिष्यामि श्वः कर्तास्मि इति वादिनम् ।

    कालो हरति संप्राप्तो नदीवेग इव द्रुमम् ॥

    Idamadya karishyami shvah kartasmi iti vadinam.

    Kalo Harti Samprato Nadiveg Iv Drumam.

    As the current of the river carries away the tree, in the same way, the time that has arrived, takes away the one who says, “Today I will do this, tomorrow I will do that”.

    We learned from this story that “our time is very precious”. We do not have to waste it unnecessarily, and do something for our society and country.

    Reader, Have a nice day…🙂

  • A Whisper in the Wind: Maya’s Unforgettable Odyssey

    A Whisper in the Wind: Maya’s Unforgettable Odyssey

    Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the lush green valleys, there lived a young girl named Maya. She was known for her radiant smile and kind heart. Maya had a deep passion for storytelling and would spend hours enchanting the villagers with her tales.

    One day, a traveler arrived in the village. He was a wise old man, with a long white beard and twinkling eyes. Intrigued by Maya’s storytelling gift, he approached her and said, “Young girl, your stories have the power to bring joy, wisdom, and hope to people’s lives. But to truly become a master storyteller, you must embark on a journey of self-discovery.”

    Eager to learn, Maya agreed to the old man’s proposition. He presented her with a magical book filled with blank pages. “This book,” he explained, “has the ability to bring your stories to life. But remember, the words you write will shape not only your tales but also your destiny.”

    With the book in her hands, Maya embarked on an extraordinary adventure. Each page she wrote upon revealed a new chapter in her own life. She encountered mystical creatures, faced daunting challenges, and discovered the depths of her own courage and resilience.

    As Maya’s tales unfolded, the villagers became enthralled by her stories. They laughed, cried, and found inspiration in her words. Maya’s storytelling became a source of solace and empowerment for those in need.

    However, as Maya delved deeper into her journey, she encountered a profound dilemma. The stories she wrote began to mirror the realities of the villagers’ lives, and their fates became entwined with her words. She realized the immense responsibility she held as a storyteller, for her tales could shape not only their present but also their future.

    With a heavy heart, Maya decided to confront the old man who had given her the book. She sought his guidance on how to navigate this moral dilemma. The wise old man smiled and said, “Dear Maya, the true power of storytelling lies not in manipulating destinies, but in empowering others to shape their own. Use your gift to ignite their imagination, inspire their dreams, and guide them towards their own paths.”

    Embracing the old man’s wisdom, Maya continued her storytelling journey, but now with a newfound understanding. She encouraged the villagers to share their own stories, to embrace their unique voices, and to create a future filled with hope and possibility.

    And so, Maya’s stories continued to resonate with the villagers, weaving a tapestry of compassion, resilience, and dreams. Her words became a testament to the transformative power of storytelling, reminding everyone that within each of us lies the capacity to shape our own destinies and create a world filled with love, harmony, and endless possibilities.

    As Maya’s story came to an end, the villagers gathered around her, their hearts filled with gratitude. Maya smiled, knowing that her journey had just begun. She had discovered the magic within her, and with her stories, she would continue to touch lives, one tale at a time.

    In the village of dreams and stories, Maya’s legacy lived on, reminding all who listened that within the pages of a book, and within the depths of our hearts, lies the power to create extraordinary stories that can change the world.

  • The Tale of Synthopolis

    In the sprawling metropolis of “Synthopolis”, a cold and sterile monument to the triumph of technology and capitalism, a man named Madison wandered through the gleaming streets. The towering skyscrapers reached for the heavens, their mirrored surfaces reflecting a distorted reality.

    Madison was like a cog in the machine, a faceless employee of a soulless corporation. Day in and day out, he toiled away in a vast office building, surrounded by the ceaseless hum of computers and the indifferent gazes of his colleagues. His existence had become a monotonous routine, devoid of purpose or fulfillment. Amidst the never-ending pursuit of financial progress, Madison felt an overwhelming sense of existential emptiness. The relentless pace of life in Synthopolis left no room for introspection or genuine human connection. Loneliness became his constant companion, an invisible weight that dragged him deeper into a pit of despair.

    In this futuristic techno-capitalist dystopia, even relationships were reduced to mere transactions. Virtual reality had replaced physical interaction, and people hid behind digital avatars, exchanging hollow pleasantries and empty promises. The screens that surrounded Madison served as a constant reminder of his isolation, a cold barrier separating him from the warmth of genuine human touch.

    One fateful evening, as the neon lights bathed the city in an artificial glow, Madison stumbled upon an old, forgotten bookstore nestled between towering megastores. Drawn by an inexplicable yearning for something real, he stepped inside, the creaking wooden door served as a stark contrast to the polished perfection of the outside world. Within the bookstore’s musty embrace, Madison discovered a collection of forgotten books, their pages yellowed and worn. He leafed through the words of long-dead authors, their prose carrying a weight that seemed to resonate with his soul. It was as if these forgotten voices reached out from the past, beckoning him to explore the depths of his own existence.

    As Madison immersed himself in the stories of the written word, he realized that he was not alone in his struggles. The characters he encountered grappled with their own loneliness, their own battles with meaning and purpose. The books became his companions, offering solace in their tales of triumph and tragedy, and igniting a spark of hope within him. Inspired by the written revelations of philosophers like Karl Marx and Jean Baudrillard, Madison sought to bridge the gap between the virtual realm and the physical world. He yearned to break free from the superficial connections that had plagued his life and find genuine human connection. Armed with newfound purpose, he embarked on a mission to create spaces where people could come together, away from the suffocating grip of technology.

    Madison’s vision soon materialized in the form of small gathering places, where people could engage in face-to-face conversations, share stories, and explore the complexities of their existence. The spaces were devoid of screens, encouraging genuine interactions and fostering a sense of belonging. Word of these havens spread like wildfire through Synthopolis. People hungry for authenticity flocked to these places, craving the touch of human connection that had eluded them for so long. In the midst of this awakening, Madison realized that he was not alone in his struggle. The collective loneliness and despair that pervaded Synthopois were a result of a shared longing for true human connection.

    Through his actions, Madison inadvertently ignited a non-violent revolution against the nihilist technological regime. The people of Synthopolis yearned to break free from the shackles of isolation and rediscover their humanity. As the city trembled under the weight of discontent, the once-sterile streets began to resonate with the sound of footsteps, laughter, and the vibrant energy of genuine connection. And hence, in the heart of this techno-capitalist dystopia, Madison became a beacon of hope, a symbol of resilience in the face of a dehumanizing world.

  • Holier Than Thou

    It was an early summer morning in a college hostel room. That was the time when the room used to flare up like oven so it was a common sight to see the entry doors wide open for better cross ventilation. Like any hostel room, it consisted of basic amenities, bed, bucket, tuck and the ever existing dry fruits. In one such room lived a girl who was busy dreaming of the high sky, the nature wide, the birds that fly and what not. It is then that she could hear a crackling sound right above her head, and started heading back to reality from her dream. At first she thought a thief had entered the room, so she quickly opened her eyes.

    To her extreme shock a monkey sat right above her head up on the table. She quickly ran away from the monkey and kept looking dumbstruck at the monkey with eyes wide open as if Jumanji was becoming a reality. Till she could find something big to scare the monkey, it casually got up, indifferent to her reaction and picked up the most preciously preserved box given by her mother with all her love and care. It was the box of dry fruits that was decorated on the table with the same love and care everyday by her. Her heartbeats were not in her control, her body became immovable and her mind became numb but the monkey was overjoyed at its prize possession as it waddled its way out as if doing the ramp walk after getting the coveted achievement. She quickly picked up her bottle and ran after the monkey to save her box of dry fruits. But all her efforts went in vain.

    This was for the first time that the girl had realised the significance of those dry fruits and her own helplessness watching how in a matter of seconds that monkey became the king of her mother’s overflowing love while all she could do was watch with the beggarly eyes those beautiful dry fruits , nothing less than diamonds being gulped and disappear. She immediately felt the need to narrate the incident to her parents. As they heard the whole incident, all they said was, “ Don’t fret. How great is that! Lord Hanuman Himself came to bless you child!”
