Some days ago, I and my friend decided to go to school for an interview. So we hired an auto rickshaw from the highway to the school. While going there, I saw plastic polythene in his pocket. It looked like a full pocket. I asked him what it was in his pocket. He told that he carried a soap to wash his face. I again questioned him why he carried it. He answered me that he had not liked unclean face. Further, he worried about a dust particle on the face. Otherwise, it would irritate him. He mentioned the above reasons for carrying it.                    As soon as we finished our discussion, we reached to that school. I had already instructed him about my good relationship with the school. So, I was going to recommend his name to the principal. On that basis, I brought him there. He also got my point.                         We first reached the reception and reported her ...

                                  Donate joy and pleasure!                It was very cold weather today. So the people were in the sweater. As a routine, I came to the bus station to catch a bus. Seeing the people wore warm clothes and some of them had a hot drink at the tea stall. They enjoyed sipping it slowly.                         After some time, the bus came on the platform. I took a seat nearby the driver. On my opposite, there was a couple with their small daughter. She was 7 years. She sat by the window and opened it half. So there was a cold wind coming out of the window. It made us vibrating. But she was playing and telling her dad something about outside.                                 But other passengers ...

                          At village school, there was a team of inspection to visit. So they were taking a round of the school. But the management planned and tried to manage it.                          The inspector and team were on around. They visited each class and asked every teacher about the students as well as their development. At that time the management explained it to the team. Simultaneously the teacher also spoke.                               In this way, they seemed to be happy. They were in the last class visit. There a newly appointed teacher joined last week. He was teaching and also beating some of the students. As soon as the team reached there, the whole class was quiet and attentive.                     ...

                                       The only commitment counts!             Once there was a meeting at my school. It was held after lunch. Consequently, I felt very sleepy and yawning. But I controlled it and paid attention to the meeting. It was conducted by the principal.                          At first, I thought that it was general. Slowly everybody was asked about the assignments and updates. One by one the teachers either put an excuse or asked for the extra time. But I made everyone shocked when my turn came and replied to the principal. It was about the magazine update.                              He questioned me when I would complete it and its deadline. I answered him politely that I would comple...

Today and Yesterday of You, Mother! Mother, I regrettably express, Earlier united over the policy, Today divided. We were ready to die for you, But now cry for the rights! Early thought what we do for you, Now what you do for us. Mother, I share the feeling, Today and yesterday of you, mother! We were full of emotions for you, But today full of indifference. Asking, Are we called Son or gunman, Civilized or rebellious, Of you? Mother, your children expose the reality Today and yesterday of you, mother!

                                                           A little saint.           On the outskirts of the village, there was an Ashram surrounded with the hills. It was on the green lush land and beautifully maintained by the saint as well as his devotees. There was always a crowd to seek a piece of advice.                         There the philosophies of the great saints were practised. Especially, love and care were preached by the saint.  He always advised the people to love, care, and not to do the sinful act. Sometimes the people used to live the night and spend time with the saint. Under his guidance, they liked to work. Further, he and his devotees were on the mission of social service. Therefore the ashram got name and fame...

I started writing practice early morning some years back. As my teachers said to me that I would have to do it early morning. So I followed their instruction seriously. The onset of it, I didn’t know where to start and what to write. It was puzzling as well as painstaking task.                       Every morning I was having it as soon as I took my cup of tea. At my home, everybody was surprised over my waking and writing. As it disturbed them and their sound sleep. Most of the time they started asking and complaining to me about why I was waking up early morning. They often inquired me what I was doing. Somehow I justified my daily task as creative work. But it didn’t satisfy their inquiring mind.                           On one fine morning, mother asked my sister what I had been doing these days. She immediately replied to her that he had been writing the daily...
