Sky roots

Sky roots  Shanmukha Trinkets twinkle, while anklets ain’t jingling, No dancing ladies no orchestra deities. Stars are asleep though fusion is fusing Lights far away once reached tons and tons Glitter without glitter, because grass was green. Now they say “Grass is so brass.” Brass is in it’s own race with Au,  Though there’s no glitter for you. Some say “What are watts?” Wards like me know only watts We say “Something is phishy” Well something is definitely fussy. Where was that glow? Even if it returns Sadly I’d still be low. Because I never knew that churn. Hulk and Milk has a thing in common Both of them are just not summoned. Or should I say just not anymore? Do we have a dying door Or a lying lore? Or don’t bore, and make it soar.  Oh hey you know why a wild boar Landed on the street with its feet? Lights are there but in reality We’ve lost the mighty. Sky tsars now black scars Something is now nothing Dark matter, bright banter The round bread is the now lone king....

Doctor & Businessman Exchange

Doctor & Businessman Exchange

In the heart of a bustling city, a contented businessman and his wife resided in a multi-storeyed building. Their lives were filled with happiness until a chance encounter would test the businessman's compassion.

One day, as the businessman embarked on a routine business trip in his car, he noticed a starving boy on the verge of collapse. Reacting swiftly, he halted his car, preventing the boy from fainting. Though unconscious, the businessman took him to his home, tended to his injuries with soothing sandal paste, provided him with the finest clothes, and fed him with genuine care.

For the first time, the poor boy, named Keshav, experienced such kindness and benevolence. Grateful, he expressed his thanks, acknowledging that the businessman had saved his life.

Curious about Keshav's life, the businessman offered friendship, suggesting Keshav to call him 'big brother.' Thrilled, they became best friends real quick, and the businessman soon discovered Keshav's lack of education and extreme poverty. Determined to rectify this, he promptly arranged for Keshav's admission to a government school, emphasizing every child's right to education.

Expressing gratitude, Keshav entered the realm of education, growing up under the care of the government school. As he matured, Keshav aspired to become a doctor. With unwavering determination, he pursued his dream, eventually achieving his goal.

In the course of time, Keshav, now Dr. Keshav, found himself treating a patient with a severe ailment. Devoting countless days and nights to the patient's care, he played a pivotal role in their recovery.

Upon receiving the bill, the patient anticipated a substantial cost. To their surprise, the bill bore a heartfelt message:

"You have saved my life. Because of you, I am in this position today. Your kindness, education, and support changed my life many years ago. Therefore, the bill is paid."

Dr. Keshav, realizing the connection, encountered the businessman once again. With gratitude, the businessman acknowledged the compassion he had shown Keshav years ago.

Moral:
This story exemplifies the enduring power of compassion and benevolence. It teaches us that helping others, no matter how small the act, can lead to profound and positive transformations in their lives.

Intellect or Strength?

There lived two boys — X and Y. They had been natural friends since childhood, relying on each other's support due to their vastly different yet complementary qualities. X possessed a fit, wrestler-like physique, always believing that physical strength was the greatest asset. On the other hand, Y was a mentally intelligent chap who firmly supported the supremacy of intellect. Their frequent debates always revolved around one question — Which is better: strength or intellect? One day, Y devised a clever plan to prove his point and outsmart X. He invited X to his home for a sugarcane juice party, promising to arrange the refreshments himself. X, thrilled by the invitation, reached Y's home early, eagerly waiting for the treat. Meanwhile, Y went to the market and ordered two glasses of sugarcane juice for takeaway. When he returned, he greeted X with an exaggerated smile. "Welcome, my esteemed guest! Please make yourself comfortable while I, your humble host, serve you the fi...

Magan, drawn by the king's distress, rushed to the riverbank, accompanied by his friends. Swiftly, Magan threw a rope into the river, aiding the struggling king to safety.

How Valiyo became Valmiki!

In the heart of a dense jungle, a notorious robber named Valiyo made his living through robbery. He was feared by travellers and revered by his family, who relied on his stolen goods to sustain their lives. One day, Sage Narada, the ever-mischievous celestial bard known for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, happened to pass through the jungle. As always, Narada was dressed in simple robes, carrying his veena, and chanting “Narayana, Narayana!” in a melodious rhythm. Valiyo spotted him from afar and mistook him for a wealthy priest. “This man must have hidden riches,” he thought, eyeing Narada’s attire and veena with suspicion. With a wicked grin, Valiyo drew a sharp knife from the folds of his dhoti and concealed himself in the bushes, ready to strike. As Narada drew nearer, Valiyo leapt out, brandishing his knife. “Stop right there, Brahmana!” he bellowed. “Hand over all your riches, or I’ll chop you to pieces with this blade!” Narada, undisturbed, responded calmly, “Narayana, Narayana! De...
