THE ENDLESS STORY OF YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW!

*** I meticulously planned all my doings for tomorrow. Tomorrow became today. I expanded beyond saying, "Let me relax as my planning is for tomorrow!"

*** The wisdom within me said, "Today goes away, tomorrow comes in. You need to rise in life!" 

 "Sure, I do!" I promised and followed rigorous discipline. Days passed into weeks; weeks into months and months into years..

"I did it!" I screamed..

Pride whistled and desire giggled and delusion scribbled my fate and handed over to anger, greed and jealousy!

*** I relaxed beyond taking life easy. Time pulled out tomorrows and pushed into yesterdays non stop!

*** Yesterday said, "You know me!"; "Yes!", I said..

Tomorrow said, "Guess me!"; "Will try!", I said..

Today said, "I am with you!"; "One sec!", I said!

THE CUTE JOKES!

"Chachu, Shall I tell you, some jokes?"

"Sure, Beta.. Love to hear them!"

"Ok.. Will my school be there on Sundays?"

"No!"

"Where it goes?"

"Ha..Ha..Ha.. Liked it!"

"You know, it is raining here continuously but in my uncle's place there is no rain!"

"Yes, dear! They very badly need rain!"

"Yesterday, he rang up and asked me,

'There is so much rain in your place and we have zero rain. Can you send some rain to us?'

And I did that!"

"How did you send the rain there, dear?"

"I took a video of rain, sent it to him asking,

'Play the video!'"

"Oh.. I never thought of that.. Good joke , Beta!"

"Ok.. Tell me.. It is said,

'No man can serve 2 masters!' but one person did that!"

"How? Don't get it!"

"Simple, Chachu! When one master said.. 'Go East!' and another said.. 'Go West!', 

He cleverly went North and found new master!"

"Ha.. Ha.. Ha!"

"One uncle wanted to amuse his nephew of 2 yrs with a trick..

He said, 'Dear! In our car, you keep your finger on your nose, the wipers move!'

Whenever the child did that, the uncle nicely used to activate the wipers and as the boy removed his finger from the nose, he used to stop it. And it was really fun for a while..

One day the child in car kept his finger on the nose when the uncle was less alert and said,

'Now move them!'"

"Oh! So nice of the little boy.  Really Smart!"

"Yes, Chachu.. And the last one..

"'Don’t touch anything unnecessarily whenever you go to rest room. It costs a lot!'

The dad instructed his child.. 

'Dad! I always touch only those places where it is written 

Touch Free!'

Said the boy!"

"Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Good jokes, Beta!"

"Thank you, Chachu.. I am happy, you liked them!"

BELIEVE ONCE, CHECK TWICE!

I cried aloud..

"I believed saying 'Yes' but soon had to end up saying 'Ok'; So, I started questioning 'How' but that ended once with a rift, second time with a shift and third time with a useless gift!"

My friend comforted me saying,

"I questioned, I had to pass thru' a trouble. So, I believed but I had to pass thru' a bigger trouble!"

The wise person next to us smiled and said,

"Relax.. No doubt,

Believing is smooth sailing; questioning is back breaking..

But seen the other way,

Believing is faith; questioning is experimenting supporting that faith..

Further,

I need to believe to certain level as nothing moves without believing but I need to question beyond as nothing progresses without cross checking..

So the right path here is

Believe once, check twice!"

In distance, someone was heard reading aloud the famous Proverbs and Quotations from a book..

• Who knows most believes least. (Traditional Proverb)

A DAD.. HOW'S HE LIKE? #BlogchatterHalf Marathon 2.0

 

In class 7, as he avoided giving his name for speaking in the elocution period, the dad straight away met his class teacher and included his name..

"I don't like giving a speech in front of my friends!"

He pleaded..

"Avoiding is no solution here. Select your topic, prepare well and speak!"

Ordered the dad..

In class 9, on a day as he avoided giving his name for a voluntary service the dad went to the school and straight way gave his name..

"These come in the way of my studies!"

He said meekly..

"Do both.. You should involve in such works once in a way!"

Clarified the dad..

In class 12, even though he was thru' local competitive exam, the dad made him apply for other competitive exams too and write those exams..

"Why all these when I'm already thru' my local exam?"

He asked back..

"You should know what competition is and better you take all these exams!"

Explained the dad..

After graduation, he had his selection of job.. The dad insisted him select one..

"The other company is paying more and their training is just for 3 months. I want to join the second company!"

He asserted..

"It's better you do what I say. There's good in that for you in the long run!"

Assured the dad..

After training, on the 1st day of his job, he returned late in the evening quite tired and was resting in his room. The dad asked what had happened at his first day of work..

"They showed my place and assigned me some work. I had to do that full 8 hrs till the last minute except for lunch and coffee/tea breaks!"

He said with a tiresome tone..

"Dear! All these days, my constant worry was to put you in this line which was never a day's job. It's a total build up from scratch from the time you entered your school. Today, you became reasonably the right personality prepared to take up the coming days'

• Turmoil,
• Stress and strain and
• Cut-throat competitions at work and
• Overall ups and downs in life in parallel..

Now relax and rejuvenate yourself for the tomorrow's likely more difficult day in your job. All the Best!"

Said the dad with a gentle pat on his back!

'FINE..NO PROBLEM.. GO AHEAD.. EVERYTHING IS OK!' #BlogchatterHalfMarathon 2.0

 A man found his associate doing wrong, expected a change in his associate and accordingly advised him on the change..

• The associate instantly promised to change, appeared too changed but in a short time turned around and zeroed down with no change in him.. 

Subsequently, he offered a benefit to the associate for a change..

• The associate again agreed to change, appeared too changed but in a short time turned around and zeroed down with no change in him.. 

Next, he created a competition for the associate to change..

• The associate once again attempted to change, appeared too changed but in a short time turned around and zeroed down with no change in him.. 

In the end, he created a fear in the associate of certain consequences if not changed soon..

• The associate instantly appeared changed, continued showing the change but in a short time turned around zeroed down with no change in him!

Not knowing what to do further, the man approached the wise man and asked him how to bring the change in his associate.. The wise man advised,

"Leave him to continue his way of living and where he expects you to say something on what he is doing, simply use the words..

• 'Fine.. No problem.. Go ahead.. Everything is OK!' 

Without a single negative comment from your end on his actions!"

The man took the advice and soon started acting that way..

• That looked initially encouraging to his associate with a 100% surety with him on what he was doing,
• But soon made him doubt a small part of his actions,
• Further in time that rose with increased confidence in more right and
• Finally settled firmly at a point of action with the distinct change in him his confidence firming up at that level!

The man again approached the wise man and said that the full effect was not there in his associate in spite of following his advice. The wise man said,

"That's the ultimate right!"

"Sir! How can it be? I distinctly see even now that my associate is in the wrong line!"

The man questioned. The wise man replied with a smile..

"Dear! Absolute Truth for ordinary mortals is

SEEN NEVER IN FULL

But

EVER SEEN IN PART..

Here,

• I may holding to the trunk and feeling accordingly,
• You may be holding to the leg and feeling accordingly and
• Your associate may be holding to the tail and feeling accordingly..

With none of us truly knowing what an elephant is..

In such a scenario, each one is right in his/her own way and each one is wrong in his/her own way and I am no way superior to the other

• However knowledgeable I may be, 
• However great I may be and 
• However aged I may be!
