Cracked Pot
An elderly  woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on ... more...

Ant & Grasshopper
  The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.   Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.   }{   Modern Version   The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.   Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.   NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.   The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?   Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.   Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.   Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.   The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).   Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for Bharat Bandh in West Bengal wuth Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.   CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.   Laloo Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the Grasshopper Rath.   Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' or POTAGA, with effect from the beginning of the winter.   Arjun Singh sets up Special Reservation for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & Government Services.   The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, has his home confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.   Arundhati Roy calls it A Triumph of Justice.   Lalu calls it Socialistic Justice .   CPM calls it the Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden.   Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly .   }{   Many years later...   The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multibillion dollar company in Silicon Valley .   100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ...   As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country!   more...

Strength of a Man & Beauty of a Woman
Strength of a Man The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders. It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.   The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice. It is in the gentle words he whispers.   The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has. It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.   The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work. It is in how respected he is at home.   The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits. It is in how tender he touches.   The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved by. It is in can he be true to one woman.   The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift. It is in the burdens he can understand and overcome.   Beauty of a Woman   The beauty of a woman Is not in the clothes she wears, The figure she carries, Or the way she combs her hair.   The beauty of a woman Must be seen from her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love resides.   The beauty of a woman Is not in a facial mole,   But true beauty in a woman Is reflected in her soul.   It is the caring that she lovingly gives, The passion that she shows,   The beauty of a woman With passing years-only grows.   Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman, But luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man   more...
