THE HIDDEN EYES

                      Jai ma Kali
                     XXXXXXXXX
   Once upon a time,there lived  a pedagogue in a certain town.He had a slew of proponents.One day he summoned all the proponents and told them,
"I am in search of a suitable match for my nubile daughter.I propose to give her to the man who fetches me something precious that he has heisted sans being seen or spotted by anyone.Go and try your luck."
    All his disciples barring one, jettisoned the Gurukul to reave something valuable for the pedagogue.They returned one by one with the things they had reaved.
  One brought a costly diamond,another brought a precious earrings and yet another,a bracelet.They all swore that they had purloined their gifts without being seen by anyone.
      The pedagogue turned towards the disciple who had not gone out and asked,"Do you consider as an infra dig to fetch something for my daughter? Is she not good enough for you? 
 The adherent trilled,"No Sir,the condition you have set is impossible to fulfill"
  "Why?,questioned the pedagogue.
  "How can I heist without being seen?I would see myself steal and I would never exonerate myself and would never be able to  live with myself afterwards."
  The pedagogue was elated.He echoed,"well spoken,my son! I was really looking for someone  like you.You are morally upright and deserve my daughter's hand."
  Then he enjoined the rest to return the things they had reached.

MORAL.........
    Live by your conscience.It is the hidden eyes that see all that you do !!

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

                                         (  Jai ma kali )
    Once upon a time an enlightened oom was the head of a monastery.He had a number of accolytes.The name of an accolyte who was very close to the oom was Bad.Naturally on hearing his name people giggled contemptuously at him, scoffed at him, sneered and jeered at him, ridiculed him, made fun of him and flung filthy pokes at him.He became a butt of butts. Being constantly pestered with taunts, he approached  the oom and blubbered out his woes.
    "Go and roam about in the world and find out the common names being used.Then cull a name for yourself,"the oom advised him.
   So Bad quit the monastery and wandered around to find out names.He came across a scrounger and was flabbergasted to know that his name was Rich !
    Afterwards, he met a guy who was puling outside his villa.
  "Why are you whimpering? , he inquired.
" I have lost heavily in my business.I have become a pauper,"whined the guy.
   "Sir, what's your name?"asked the accolyte.
    The guy told his name was Happy.
  That same day Bad saw a mugger being hanged as per orders of the potentate. His name was Good!
      Bad vamoosed to the monastery.
     "What name have you culled?"asked the oom.
   Bad responded,"Sir, I have changed my mind.Names are meaningless.Bad is good enough for me".

BAD COMPANY

                      Jai ma Kali
                     +++++++++++
Once upon a time there lived two canines in different localities of a town.One was a good-natured spaniel and other was a querulous mastiff.One day it so happened that the two canines were pperegrinating on the same road.They were not acquainted with each other.However,the spaniel
 tiptoed to the mastiff and politely barked,"May I please promenade with you on this jaunt?"The mastiff nodded inj consent.
   The two dogs started promenading together,powwowing with each other,cutting jokes and sharing the reminiscences of their past.Mastiffs are Brobdingnagian and very chilarous by nature but  very feral dogs.
 Soon the two reached the next village.The mastiff started to show his. rebarbative deportment.He growled at everyone he encountered,leapt and snapped at them without any rhyme or reason.
 The incensed villagers 
rushed with bamboo sticks and beat both the canines black and blue. The poor spaniel got badly bruised just because he was found in the company of the nasty mastiff.

THE STALLION'S ORDEAL

                    Jai Ma Kali
                   *************
   Once upon a time there lived a kind,just and fair potentate.In order to know the grievances and complaints of the 'hoi polloi',he got a glockenspiel hung at the market square. Any person who had been treated unfairly by somebody, could come and ring the glockenspiel . The potentate then after a powpow with his advisors would deliver the judgement.
   A considerable long time had elapsed.The chord of the glockenspiel had become tattered.A thick vine sprouted around it.It was not revamped.
   One day a stallion happened to come to the market place.He was so lean and thin that one could count the bones inside his body.He looked weary and famished.On seeing the vine growing on the chord of the glockenspiel,he started chomping on the vine.In the process,the chord got pulled.The glockenspiel started jingling.
  The loud tintinnabulation of the glockenspiel rent the sky.People skedaddled to the market place to see who had suffered such a great injustice as to ring the glockenspiel like this.They were agape and aghast to see that it was a critter.
 The potentate enjoined his flunkeys to trace out whose stallion it was.The lackeys discovered that the horse belonged to a soldier.The soldier had taken good care of it when it was robust and healthy.But after it outlived its utility,the soldier chucked it out .
 Was the stallion unknowingly complaining against the injustice meted out to it by its master?
 The potentate was fair both to his subjects and the critters in his domain.He summoned the soldier and ordered him to take the stallion back home and take good care of it.
   Moral*****
 Always bear in mind if you yourself would like to be treated in the same way you are treating somebody!!

THE PITILESS MOZO

                   [Jai Ma Kali]
         THE PITILESS MOZO
        ************††******†*
Once upon a time there lived a kind and considerate potentate. He had a number of slaveys.One of hisscullions was very poor and was unable to make both ends meet comforts boy.So he borrowed a sum of boodle from another retainer with a promise to recompense the same early.
      Days and months rolled by.The scullion was not able to indemnify the amount.So he went to to the retainer and cajoled him,"Dear pal,my financial position is in dire straits.I am unable to repay the debt.Feel pity on me and be kind enough to waive off the loan.God will bless you."
   But his impassioned appeal fell on deaf ears.The retainer flew into rage and stabbed the scullion with the result that he instantaneously gave up the ghost.
      When the news of the murde reached the potentate,he was livid.A long time ago this retainer had borrowed money from the emperor which he later could not refund.The king was kind and considerate enough 
to waive off the debt.
   Now the king summoned the retainer.After condemning and admonishing him,the potentate forced him to recompense the gelt that he had borrowed from him.
   Then the king banished him from the kingdom.

BIRDS VS. HUMAN BEINGS

                         (jai ma kali)
         BIRDS VS HUMAN BEINGS
**************************** Once upon a time a flock of pigeons dwelt gleefully and peacefully on the mansard of an ancient temple.With the advent of the annual festival,the renovation of the temple was launched.So the pig eons fluttered to live on the canopy of a church.The pigeons who were already dwelling in the church welcomed the new entrants with open heart.
   When the Christmas came,the church had to be given a refurb.All the pigeons flew away and took shelter on the cupola of a mosque.The pigeons who were already in the mosque heartily accommodated the new comers.
 Then came the Ramadan time.The repainting of the mosque was started.So the flock of the pigeons moved to the temple which now had been refurbished.
 One day the communal clashes broke out.A baby pigeon cooed to his mother pigeon,
"Who are these people?"
The mother pigeon responded,"They are human beings."
The inquisitive baby poked,"But why are they wrangling with each other?"
The mother pigeon explained,"The human being going to temple are called"Hindu."The people visiting church are called "Christan"and the people flocking to mosque are named"Muslims."
The flummoxed baby murmured,”Why is it so? When we were in the temple,we were called pigeons.When we resided in the church and mosque,we continued to be called pigeons.Similarly they ought to be called human beings wherever they go ".
The mother pigeon cooed,"We and our pigeon friends have experienced God  and that is why we are living here in a highly elevated dwelling peacefully.These human beings are yet to experience God .Hence they have to reside below us and fighting and butchering each other."
