The Wise Woman's Stone

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.

The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.

The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.

The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But a few days later he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. Give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

I am doing what I want...

A turtle was crossing a swamp, covered in mud, when it passed a temple.

There it saw the shell of another turtle – all adorned with gold and precious stones.

"I don't envy you, ancient friend," thought the turtle.

"You're covered in jewels, but I’m doing what I want."

I am doing what I want...

If you make yourself into a doormat...

If you make yourself into a doormat, people will wipe their feet on you.

गोलमाल है, सब गोलमाल है

बच्चों के बढ़ते होमवर्क
माँ-बाप का जंजाल है
सभी स्कूलों का यही हाल है
गोलमाल है, सब गोलमाल है

फोटो शेयर करते ही
१००० लाइक्स का सवाल है
फेसबुक पर होता बवाल है
गोलमाल है, सब गोलमाल है

ऑनलाइन मंगाई थी चादर
डब्बे में निकला रुमाल है
आजकल यही धमाल है
गोलमाल है, सब गोलमाल है

महंगाई आसमां छू रही
रूपये का भी बुरा हाल है
यह अच्छे दिनों का कमाल है
गोलमाल है, सब गोलमाल है

It is all about you...

Reach out your hands 
Let a joy keep you
Say goodbye to sorrows
Bid them farewell adieu

Get out of the shell
Stay willing to start anew
Be joyful, Be strong
Let the happiness find you

Walk beyond the gloom
Let the sun rays pass thru
The darkness is now history
Each moment bright and new

Believe and live your life
A dream, a passion you pursue
Don't worry about the pitfalls
Courage will help you pull through
