Anoop Kumar's Clarity

One day, eyes, mouth, and nose argued with each other that they were the most important organ.  Nose said, "I am most important because I'm the one who breaths, if I don't breath just for a few minutes then we will die. And I am useful for smelling too".   Mouth and eyes laughed out loud and then Mouth said, "I am most important because I'm the one who lets water and food inside, if I don't take in water or eat food for a few days then we will not have any energy and we will die. And I am useful for talking too. And more importantly when nose cannot breath I can be used for breathing too".  Eyes said, "you both are wrong, I am most important because only I can see, if I don't see then you mouth may end up eating poison too and we will die, and nose you could be damaged first if we fall without seeing where we are going."   After silently and carefully listening to the conversation, ears said, "do you guys realize that you have tota...

A Boy Was Crying Two boys were playing on the street and met with an accident as a car hit them and sped away. The boy who lost his left ring finger in the accident was crying out loud in severe pain, blood pouring out profusely. He screamed at the other boy "I'm crying in pain, lying flat on the ground, and you are not even lifting me up, what kind of friend are you?" and turned to his friend to find his friend had lost both his hands in that accident and was barely conscious. Moral : It's easy to judge others wrongly based on our own difficult situation, it takes sincere effort and unbiased mind to understand other's situation. The one who cries the loudest is not necessarily the one who has lost the most. No cry doesn’t mean there is no pain. Now tell this short story to kids (without giving any hint about the moral/s) and ask them what is the moral of the story. Give it a try. You will be surprised to hear them say Don't play on the street or words to tha...

A farmer was obsessed with mangoes. He wanted to have acres and acres of his land filled with the best mango trees. He went looking for seeds that would give the best mangoes. A fraudster, who learnt about this farmer's quest, met the farmer and convinced him that God had sent him to meet the farmer to share the truck loads of seeds, given by God himself, that would produce the best mangoes. And then he took an advance amount. On the day of delivery the fraudster came with truck loads of orange seeds. Seeing those orange seeds instead of mango seeds, the farmer was unpleasantly surprised and sad, and when he questioned, the fraudster again convinced the farmer that these are the best mango seeds that look like orange seeds and he requested the farmer to trust him and that he should with full belief without an ounce of doubt plant those seeds. He added, after 6 years the trees, even though will look like orange trees, will start producing mango fruits. At that point the farmer was ...

In a classroom a teacher asked the students, if 2x+y=5, what is x?  [side note : before you read further, please just write down your answer for x in a paper or digital note - please no cheating] One of the students in the first row who always wanted to be first in answering questions, shouted 2, x is 2. When the teacher asked him to explain, the boy explained, if we assume y=1, then x=2 because 2*2+1 gives us 5. He was very proud that he was the first one to find the answer. A group of students applauded him for his intelligence and without any further thinking became his followers.  Another boy who always had his differences with the first-row boy, gave the question a little more thought than others, then stood up and said, sir if we assume y=3 then x=1 then 2*1+3 =5. So x=1. He was very proud of his answer because he said everything starts from 1. Another group of students applauded him for finding an alternate answer and for his brilliant line "everything s...

Why are more and more people moving away from religions? Why is there an inclination to be spiritual but not be associated with any religion?  Let me explain with a short story. Several hundred years ago a man in a village found a human-size mirror when he had been to a far away village. The mirror was very clean, high quality, and he could see his full reflection in the mirror so well that even minute details of him could be seen. He brought it home and kept it for himself. Then he realized that as no one else in the village had a mirror he should share it with others, but, he thought, if he would break it into pieces it wouldn't be as useful as it is now. So he decided to keep the full-size mirror in a public place where people could come and have a look at themselves. All villagers thanked him for this and everyone used it for many years. One day one of the villagers out of his reverence hung a flower garland on the mirror. Other villagers felt that they are not doing...

Once upon a time in a kingdom a Prince was born with only one leg. His father, the powerful King, couldn't accept the fact that his son had only one leg but all others have 2 legs. So he ordered his ministers to send people to cut off everyone's one leg including his so that in the whole kingdom there wasn't anyone better than his own son. Whenever a new kid was born, its one leg was cut off.  This became a rule and no one objected (actually no one dared to object). Over the years from a rule it became a tradition in the kingdom, so the people started doing it themselves. Many years passed, the king died and also the prince and his next two generations all died. There was no kingdom anymore. However, the people of that district still continued to follow the 1-leg tradition. One day a young mother gave this tradition a thought and questioned herself why do we cut one of the legs? Wouldn't it be better to walk on two legs? She decided not to cut her new born son'...

Once a rabbit saw a fox laughing mischievously. Curious to know the reason, the rabbit asked the fox about its laugh. Fox with uncontrollable laughter said " I fooled a lion just now and he is dead ".  Rabbit :  How did that happen? Fox : When lion tried to hunt me down, I said, wait before you kill me you should know that there is another lion in the forest. If you spare me for now I can take you to that place. The lion believed me, I took the lion to the well, asked lion to look into the well, and the lion was so stupid that it assumed its own reflection as another lion, and foolishly jumped into the well and died.  Rabbit also laughed a lot, congratulated the fox and then said bye to the fox and left. On the way another Lion was about to pounce on the rabbit. Rabbit remembered fox's story and tried the same trick with this lion. But this time at the well the lion got angry and just ate up the rabbit. The difference was, when fox did it, fox stood...
