I saw the God today

By -


There was this little child, six years old, looking into the jar full of colorful candies. She opened her fist and looked at the 50 paise coin got from mother as her pocket money. She asked for two, one for her and another for her little brother at home. He is not old enough to accompany her to the school. After unwrapping one and putting into her mouth and keeping the other in her bag safely, she looked around and saw all her friends vanished. Now it is a big problem for her to cross the busy road and get home. No one known was visible around. Even the known traffic police is not there and instead, there was a new one with terribly frightening big mustaches. Vehicles were not stopping. On other days, the group of children are escorted across the road safely by the traffic police. Today, she is left alone with no one known around.

 She closed her eyes, thought of her mother, and the little brother at home. His father and the smile of granny flashed past her mind. She prayed the God to help her. She started to cry. Suddenly she felt someone's hand on her shoulders, a tap signalling to stretch her hand. She stretched her hand and her little palm went into a big and rough hand. There was a little pull and she started walking with her eyes closed. 

 They stopped and her hand was released. Slowly she opened her eyes and the huge mustaches were there before her with a big smile. Smiles returned to her face too. She wiped off the tears from her eyes with the back of her palm. The mustached were no longer looking frightening, Rather a face full of love was there before her. She flashed a big smile. gave him a tight hug with a sweet poppy on his cheek. 

 At home, with a tight embrace to her mother, she was saying. "You know mama, I saw the God today."

 (Based on the childhood experience of a friend.)

General Manager or General Damager?

By -
While going to office this morning, I saw a Govt official's car bearing official markings driving in a wrong direction to enter into the IPICOL House premises. I asked the gentleman in the IPICOL lobby, "Excuse me Sir, do you work in this office? "Yes." "What do you do Sir?" "I am a GM (General Manager) here. Why?" "Sir, I saw your car driving in the wrong side. Being a responsible person, how do you encourage such a thing?" The gentleman got angry immediately and shouted back. "So what? Are you a police?" "No Sir, I am just a public, and I work here in Adhunik." He again arrogantly shouted back, "I don't need your advice." I just said, "Thank you Sir." Few minutes later, the same gentleman barged into the lift, gave me a hated look and pressed the 2nd floor button. If we get this kind of behavior from a General Manager of a Govt. concern, what we can expect from the others???

Portrait of a father

By -
One day a son asked his mother, “You love me so much. I was thinking that Father too loves me, but I fear him. he is always so strict and angry. I sometimes  think that he never loves me.”  The mother replied. “Son, there are many kinds of love. Who loves you with her eyes closed, is your mother. But he who loves you deeply without showing any emotions in his eyes is your father. A child learns many things of this earth from his mother, learns to know the world through her. The mother teaches him about the different colours, feelings, emotions of this world. That needs love and affection. But the duty of the father is different. His duty is to prepare his children so that the world shall recognise him. The real duty lies with the father. He has the responsibility to make him get his identity. The son asked, “is it necessary for him to be so strict for that?” Mother: “Your father does not have the capacity to change the world. However, for your betterment and pros...
