        DON'T JUDGE BEFORE KNOWING
     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   An oom along with his 24 year old son boarded a compartment of a train and seated themselves near a window. When the train chugged off the station and gained speed, the boy who was peeping outside with curiosity, exclaimed with joy-
" Look dad, the trees are hurtling backward."
 His dad smiled.A young couple sitting beside them, was gobsmacked and a tad irritant to see the childlike behaviour of a 24 year old boy.
    Suddenly the boy again trilled," Dad, the clouds are skedaddling with us." The dad smiled.
Now the couple could not suppress their irritation 
and said to the oom," Your son has not developed mentally according to his age. Why don't you take him to an expert doctor?"
 The oom replied," I did.We are vamoosing from the hospital just now.My son was blind since birth.He got his eyes today."
   The couple was ruefully dumbstruck.
 MORAL OF THE STORY-----
  Every single person on the planet has a story. Never judge people before you truly know them.The truth might surprise you !!

A WITTY ANSWER

                      A  WITTY ANSWER
                    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

   The great potentate, Akbar, was in the habit of posing outlandish questions to his courtiers for telling the appropriate answer. One day he asked them to tell how many crows are there in the city. All the noblemen were unable to tell the exact number of the crows. They hung their  pates in exasperation. Just at that precise moment Birbal entered the courtroom. The potentate confronted him with this question. Birbal responded tout-de-suite,

  " There are fifty thousand five hundred eighty nine crows in this city."
  Akbar was agape. He rejoined, " How can you be so sure?"
 " Your Majesty", Birbal said," Ask your men to count the numbers. If the numbers exceed my numbers, then it means that some crows have come here to visit their kith and kin. If the number is less than my numbers, then it means some crows have gone to their relatives somewhere else."
 The emperor was speechless !
 MORAL....
  A WITTY ANSWER SERVES ITS PURPOSE !!

THE SAPIENT GOAT

              THE  SAPIENT  GOAT
              *********************
   Once upon a time there were two goats. One was a tad sapient while the other was quite obdurate and pugnacious. There existed a narrow bridge over a river close to their habitat.
 One day, one goat was crossing the bridge .When she reached the centre of the bridge, she met the other goat. Now the bridge had no room for both of them to pass simultaneously. A frightful arguement ensued between them over passing the bridge first.
   One goat bleated to other," Get back.Let me cross first."
  "Why should I get back? You better do", countered the other goat.
    After a verbal squabbling, the haughty goat tilted her horns to strike.
   "Halt!", trilled the second goat who was sapient," If we wrangle, both of us would flump down into the river and will get submerged into the water. I shall lie down and you may walk over me."
    She laid down on the bridge.The other goat walked over her. So they crossed the bridge comfortably and went on their ways.

FALLACIOUS JUDGEMENT

                             Jai ma kali
                             ************
         Fallacious Judgement
        **********(*********(***
Once upon a time a new pedagogue by the name of Kent was appointed in a prestigious school.He was to teach English in Standard 7.On the very first day, as soon as he entered the class, he rudely asked the students to take out their English text book.Then he told each one to peruse a clause.
   Vicky was the first to peruse.Hardly he had finished a line than Mr Kent yelled,"Read loudly."Then he growled at Nicky "pronounce the words clearly."
    The next student was Dung.He got up.Holding the book in his left hand he commenced reading."What's your name?, Mr Kent gurgled with ire."Dung, sir.."cooed Dung nervously.
   Mr. Kent thundered,"You seem to be a fool of the first water.Where did you learn to read? Who taught to hold the book in the left hand? You nincompoop."Tetrified, the chap hung his head down and kept mum."Come on.Continue reading."Shouted  the teacher.
  Trembling with fear, Dung resumed to read in a stammering manner, still holding the book in his left hand.Again the teacher hollered,"Oh! You are stubborn too.Can't you understand English? Get out of the class."
  With tears trickling down his cheeks, poor Dung peregrinated out of the class.The whole class was stunned and shuddered.
  After the bell, the monitor of the class ventured to tiptoe to the pedagogue and said,"Sir, Dung does not have his right hand.He lost it in an accident about a couple of years ago."
   The pedagogue cut a sorry figure.Lamenting over his attitude he apologised to Dung for his folly.
  What happened to Mr Kent can happen to any of us. Hence it is certainly better not to judge anyone.

THE DOOFUS RABBIT

                                                            (jai ma kali)
                   THE  DOOFUS  RABBIT
              +++++++++++++++++++++++
   Once an eagle was chillaxing by sitting on a bough of a larch. A doofus rabbit happened to pass through there. Seeing the eagle resting, doing nothing, he felt tempted to emulate him. He squeaked decorously to eagle, " Sir, can I also relax like you, doing nothing all the day long?"
    The eagle simpered. He screamed with a chuckle," Why not ? Go ahead."
   The rabbit was on cloud nine. He plopped down on the ground, humming a song. Suddenly an esurient fox emerged on the spot from nowhere. His mouth watered to see the rabbit.Before the rabbit could run away, the sly fox pounced upon him, grabbed him and gormandized him.

MORAL++++
      To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up !

INSTANT SUCCESS

                                                      jai ma kali
                      INSTANT SUCCESS
                    **********************
    It cannot be denied that we don't have patience and perseverance. We seek instant results. We aspire to reach the vertex of a carrier tout de suite. We nurse a yen to become oofy anon. We get flustered and upset when we see that this is going to be a long, tedious process.
    We wish to slam a century when we play cricket the first time. We long for becoming a 'hit' or we want to 'shine' out, by doing something extraordinary at our very first attempt.
   It is truth that we turn a blind eye to the hours of practice all successful people have put in day after day, week after week for years and years. We would like to have their success but sans putting in the efforts they made.
  WE SEEK INSTANT SUCCESS !!

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

            PHYSICAL  APPEARANCE
          ****************************
  It cannot be impugned that now-a-days looks have become extremely important for achieving success. Young people seem in believing that to have success all they need is perfectly shaped bodies. The attitude of youngsters is that they can accomplish anything if they look in a particular way.
  But I belong to other school of  thoughts. In my opinion, physical looks have nothing to do for achieving the goal.History is replete with examples of great men accomplishing awful success having unshaped bodies and looks.
 For examples, Mahatma Gandhi had extra large ears. Abraham Lincoln was just plain ugly.Napoleon was very short and podgy.Byron had a clubfoot.Alexander Pope, the poet, was a cripple. Malik Mohammad Jayasi, a great medieval poet of India, was one-eyed and extremely ugly. Socrates was very short. Shakira is only 5 feet tall.
   In fact, one can make oneself as great as any of them.
