Someone’s LOVE SHOWED ME THE WAY.......

The previous night I had stayed in a small village for first time with my wife. I had gone there to have a break from my day to day life. A distant relative of mine was there. The next day I had some work in the district head quarters and decided to go alone leaving my family with my relative’s.

So in the morning I rode from that small village on its dirt road for 4 kilometers. The road runs through the woods and then meets the state highway. I had to cover another 35 kilometers from the point the dirt road meets the highway. The sun was beaming and through the rows of tall Sall trees I moved ahead on my bike.

I am telling you about a district which has the dubious distinction of being one of the most underdeveloped districts of the country. So it is needless to describe further the ill-conditions of the roads. Journey on them is both painful and extremely risky.

However, I reached the point where I would catch the state highway and would take a right turn to reach the district headquarters. While taking the turn, at the meeting point of the two roads, I saw a culvert. And on the cemented low wall of the culvert two names were written with a big plus mark (+) in between them and a big heart shape had encircled them all.

I thanked the education system of my country which had reached such interior pockets and now gleaming prominently with the shiny petals of love. Next moment I became a little conscious of my age and then raised my eyebrows and giving a supercilious smile, I went ahead.

Our society is still orthodox in the matters of love. We believe that love has to be made or expressed privately. So the big heart symbol and the names on the culvert dazzling publicly made me feel a bit negative about the writer(s). I raised my eyebrows and then took the turn and went ahead on my way.

That day I had a lot of engagements in the district head quarters. So I was very late. I had to return in the late hours of the night. So some of my friends even advised me not to take such a risky journey in the night but I did not heed their words.

The road was extremely lonely and dark. To reach the village on my way back I had to take a left turn leaving the highway. But I was very much confused in the dark of the night. At every half a kilometer a similar dirt road was found. I could not decide which road to take but soon my confusion ended. The big heart shape and the names of the love pair showed me the way. I undoubtedly took the road and reached home safely.

Someone’s LOVE SHOWED ME THE WAY.......

“A moment of understanding can flood your life with meaning.”

With my hands crossed I was reclining on a chair. I was silent and thinking deeply. I was thinking with a prayerful heart. 

 

I was in the farewell meeting where the juniors were bidding farewell to the seniors. The situation was bursting with emotions. Everyone was speaking from the heart. The words from the young hearts were replete with the deepest and the strongest of human emotions. They were like live incandescent lamps which were an awesome feast both to the soul and the heart. The sparkling tear drops of the departing students were the finest signature of Love. 

Their high emotions slowly and slowly started melting me. I melted into a valley of deep thoughts. In my thought I saw I have miles to go before I can say I am an ideal teacher. Each word uttered by the departing students pushed me more and more to undertake a rigorous self analysis. The more I thought, the more stable and self-controlled I felt. I also felt a bit sad because I could have been better if I had known that my students felt so deeply about me.  

The evening gave me a new understanding of human heart. I came out of the circumference of mundane profit and loss and valued the brilliance of teenager emotions in a truly human perspective.

I experienced a new dawn of goodness in me. I beheld a rising sun spreading the light of self-righteousness. And I heard a life-changing voice echoing in my inner-world that proclaimed, “Yes! Let me be a teacher and not a preacher. Because....because.....a preacher preaches but a teacher teaches by living the best ideas and the highest ideals of humanity-in thoughts, words and deeds.”

From The pen APN

It is a very traumatic day for me.

The people around you love to crush you ruthlessly at your flaws.

Some times I might have been so for someone else and I might have failed to understand that. However, I must say that I should learn 4 things today.

1

1.       Do not be so familiar that someone will venture to dominate you out of proportion. Kick them out from your life and at the same time rebuilt yourself exploring new avenues of life.

2.       Sit silently, meditate and sharpen your positive qualities to run ahead of others in spite of negativeness around you.

3.       Understand yourself, your duties and responsibilities, be humble and enjoy your life fully.

4.       Time is invaluable. Put it into best use. Live each moment constructively-helping yourself and others but keep yourself safe in all respect. Your 100 good deeds will be blackened with one single mistake of yours. People around you are never kind critics.

QUEEN MAMA VS TELE SERIAL MAMA

My three year old son opened his picture book to learn the alphabet. He pointed the pictures one by one and recited their English equivalent words.......Apple.....Boy.....Cat......Dog.....Elephant....Fish....

He stopped at the letter ‘Q’ and showed me the picture of a beautiful woman with a crown. He wanted to know the English word for that picture. I told him that it is ‘QUEEN’. He did not accept my answer. He shook his head in disagreement and emphatically told, “It is Mama.” I appreciated his love for his mother and gently smiled at him waving my hand on his head. I did not say anything because I did not like to contradict his sweet love for his mother.

Somewhere I had read that a child loves to find the likeliness of his/her mother in other women. I looked at my son. Now he was reading.....Van......Watch......etc.

An hour latter I was now watching a tele-serial. A good looking female actor appeared on the screen. My son looked at her and abruptly asked, “Papa who is she?”

I remembered my previous experience with my son and to avoid any further disagreement I told, “She is Mama (mother).” No sooner could I finish my answer, my wife entered into the room and listened it. Now my wife was no more my wife. She really turned into a live volcano. She violently shouted, “Tomorrow morning in the first bus I and my son are going to leave this house forever. You are so nasty that you are identifying other women as my son’s mother. Did she take the pain to give birth to the child?”

I was stunned and looked with my mouth open. Before I could say anything my wife was in tears. 

A PAGE FROM THE DIARY OF AN EXAM INVIGILATOR

Situation One

“Sir, please help me answer this questions. You will earn Dharma” Told an examinee to the exam invigilator. The examiner gently smiled and told, “I will definitely help you answer the questions but not now. After the examination is over I will keep your request.”

Situation Two

A lady in denim jeans and a stylish vanity bag approaches the exam centre. At the entrance of the exam centre an invigilator who stands there for gate check asks the candidate not to take mobile phones inside. The girl looks surprisingly and then disbelievingly utters, “Are you not going to give support in the examination?” The invigilator shakes his head in firm denial and informs the lady that the examination will be conducted in all fair means. The lady turns her back and walks out feeling disgruntled.

It may be mentioned that she had come with Rs 30000/- (Thirty Thousand) in her vanity bag so that she could bribe the examiners.

Situation Three

A bearded teacher who works in a neighboring institute comes directly into the superintendent’s chamber and asks the superintendent unashamedly, “Sir, will the examinees not get help in the examinations? It is injustice to be so strict to the examinees who join in distance courses just for getting a degree or a promotion.” The superintendent replied, “No way Sir. We strictly follow the rule: No Chits and No Tips.”

Situation Four

“I want to talk to you privately,” said a middle aged over-weight examinee to the superintendent. The superintendent allowed him for a private conversation. Both of them talked for few minutes inside the chamber. When the man came out of the exam centre superintendent’s chamber, he was very dejected and irritated. After his departure I came to know that he had introduced himself as a political stalwart having immense power in his possession and he would see to us if he is not allowed copying in exam hall.

Situation Five

Somebody is heard saying in a challenging tone in the local market, “Let us see how they can stop us copying in the examination.”

Full n Final conclusion

One Kejriwal is enough to over throw all RED LIGHTS from VVIPs' car tops. One conscious step is enough to check all unfair means. Just you need a will power to ignore the above 5 situations. JAI HIND.
