Life - as per 'A happy crow'

In my childhood, I heard one story which was very popular. And might some of you know it. It tells about how one could find happiness from any kind of situations. I don't remember it fully, but I am writing what it says in some manner.

Story:
Once upon a time, a crow flying in the sky went in the king's palace. And he had done something which the king didn't liked. He ordered his men to catch the crow and give him punishment.

The men caught him. But in their surprise, the crow didn't noticing them and even not threatened! He was enjoying even that harassing situation. Then the king decided to give different sort of tortures to him.

They lied him on the hot plates on flames, but the crow was dancing on the plate and enjoying and also singing! They all are surprised.

They drawn him into the water but the crow was enjoying singing that 'i have not taken bath since some days, thank you dear king'.

He had not only tolerated but enjoyed his time during all tortures. The king was amazed by this and felt very confused.

He then left him and asked that why he is not feeling any kind of pain or problems? And what the crow has answered can be amazing for you also!

The crow answered,

"What will be happen I don't know and what is happening is not in my hands. I can't do anything for that but why should i waste my current time in the worries? I must enjoy the time i have right now which is given by god and can't be taken by anyone. That’s what all I do. I enjoy everything everyday and every time!"

The king and his men amazed and left the crow and praised him for his wisdom and fun loving nature.

What you think? This isn't truth? Just think about it, we are always in hurry and worry of something for future forgetting our present time which we have right now. We are always worried about what will happen and not enjoying our life.

What is life? It’s a chain which is made of small moments which we have enjoyed and remembered. That is what life is for. To live, love and be happy with family. :)

Tours- My last two weekends...

I have been on tour (actually you can say a little traveling :)) since last two weekends.

0n 13th June, I left for pune for a 3 days tour. It was managed so quickly, that I can't get my friend's cam with me :(. Things were cool when we left from here in bus.

But as someone said, 'Not everything happens in our favor when you are in between something'(I don't know who said, may be I? :)). And that happened to me also. Our bus got punctured after 200Kms from here (Baroda). And in my surprise, the sophisticated drivers can't even open the tier for replacement! Ha ha, can you believe that they taken more than 3 hours to replace the tire? Yeah, it was so boring to seat idle when no one knows you and you had not eaten something since 3 hours! But then god helped them and they got it done! Voila!

But someone there has a problem. He had one important exam in the morning. And the bus can't reach on time as per the current situation. The atmosphere was hot of shouts :).And finally they left with another option I think. Even one person who came from there, returned in the next morning from the next station (surat @ 6 AM) as he got hint of being too late for his work and worthless being there! I also was confused about the situation.

In addition to this, heavy rain is our companion for more than 5 hours of path! What to say now? The speed is controlled by the traffic and rain, and people had a nice boring sleep! Still I had a hope to reach about 1PM noon the next day. But all I was wrong and reached there @ 4PM on 14th June, the next day. Count it, it was 21 hours in a hopeless crap bus having AC which we don't want and no speed! I was too tired but my friend was there to pick me up. I was 8 hours late, can you believe that? :)

That was not superb, but ok trip. I had not much time as because of one 'function' there. So finished it all up and I was back here. Now, I will talk about second small trip which is a good experience.

0n 20th, last Friday, I was at my uncle's place. He was going to one pilgrimage by walk. It is 50 kms far from the home. And I was hired to drive the car with the luggage :).

Most different thing is we go on the whole night and sleep all the day. I must stay at every 2 or 3 kms from them as may be they need something while walking. Rather than driving I should say pulling the car :).

It was so boring to stop at every 2 kms and waiting for them.50 kms in 2 nights, 25 on each night. The road was almost empty having very less traffic as the area through which we go is like a jungle. Some places are too empty and feels horrible. Even you can here sound of every smallest thing happens. Instead of this feeling, I was bored because I can't even take a nap :(.

Only thing I fear is a dog! The dogs, which just run behind every car passing through barking constantly! So when ever I see dogs, I even pull the lights of the car off if is stop there. So, they don't bark and disturb me. And yeah, I can't get off the car to rip off :).

At some places, we got some snacks, taken rest for a while. It was totally different experience for me, too stop on the road. One person in the farm, near which I had arranged my car, was too curious about me that why I was there and doing what by stopping the car? It was funny too, as he got one hard stick and then also feared. He just started shouting and i was ignoring him, taking nap. Finally he got out of the farm, on the other side of the road, asking me. I explained him the situation and then he got his heart down :). He told me that he had his crops there in the farm for which he was staying there to keep it safe. I laughed and so he also :)!

Yeah it was tire able, but though I enjoyed. And in the morning, when all they got in the car, everyone is desperate about driving because of sitting positions. Everyone wants to sit comfortably on the driver's seat, but I never let them!

This was my 2 weekends, some mess and some enjoyment :)

True friends can have telepathy...

Yes, I am not joking. This is the true thing happened to me.

It was not weekend though I was very much tired. Not because of my work but being alone and no friends' meet since last 15 days or so. I just dropped at the bus stop nearer to my home and walking towards home. Suddenly I saw a car which remembered me of my good friends. I thought may be he is here. Then I though oh god, he is far away from here about some 5000 Kms. I thought if he is here then we gonna a do lot of fun here. I went to home.

The next day, when I reached my office, doing my work, I got a call from the same friend whom I missed last night! He said, he is here since yesterday! I got amazed and told him also that I just missed you last night though you are here. We met that night and did a lot of fun together, talked so much and missed our school days :).

What you will call this? This is not co-incident, as this happens with me many times. And yeah, I believe in such things also. I think this is called true friendship, because of which we are bounded to our friends. The feeling is so strong that it creates a vibration in you and you can have feel of another person when he/she is around you or missing you. Otherwise you just think why I missed him that night only? I see many cars daily i mean. Then what's so special that night? I call this telepathy, which we Indians believe is a true feeling between your loved ones.

Olden days - golden days...

Hi all.

On my b'day, I am just doing stuff at my job place. And was thinking of my childhood. Ah! It feels very nice mates. It feels like heaven when I remember my olden days. Actually I should call them 'golden days'

yes, in true sense, I miss those days. When in vacation i was at my home town, playing with all friends there and no worries, nothing i need to take care of. My granny just yelling at me even she loves me because she cares for me. All we do is play, play and play! Always roaming in the small town, in the farms, under the trees, around the ponds and... Those were amazing days i mean.

My granny makes good meals for us, save us from everyone who yells at us to stop noise and stay quite. :) That’s the best thing in the world. It feels like you are the ling of the world and nothing matters to you. You only like to have fun as a child. We take mangoes and almonds from trees of the farms. Though sometimes the farmers, who don't know us ran after with the stick and stones. :) God bless them!

But things changed gradually. Small town is now some what big. Though some things never change at all, but its not the same place which I loved once. And even not i am the same one who likes to stay there, scream and play there!

I am now grown, a big boy working as a software Engineer in some foreigner firm, who never gets time now for playing something outdoor. I hardly get some time to visit my old friends. Though I visit my town every month or later but i can't meet all my friends. All my school friends are now far far away (not as in shreak we have :) ) from my place. Some friends who are like me ( who loves there home and got jobs nearby) are here with me. When ever me meet, we talk so much remembering our school days, our time when we never thought of something what we will do in future and always enjoyed.

To all, the thing i want to tell you is keep your friends, relatives and loved ones near you if possible. Don’t let them go away from your heart. Though you are far from them, you can tell them that you miss them and want to stay together. Having a friends' meet is the best thing in world.

So, a toast for all who miss their golden times. :)

God bless all.
