pearls of wisdom: GREED

     
         Once upon a time a  girl and her family were  guests to her aunt's home. ... A wedding was taking place, blushed cheeks, wet eyes, and boring talks  were visible all around. This made the girl bored and uneasy, and her lovely father noticed her restlessness....
      So the man took his restless daughter for a walk around  the market. He said," Look at all the Faces, and say what  do you see?" Daughter replied ordinary, satisfied people with life....  The word Ordinary and  Satisfaction made a one sided conversation of life time... ....  
                              This care for daughter and restlessness of mind resulted in a Pearl of Wisdom, an unique and original one....

The Man said:

"Never do my daughter fall for the ordinary, if you wish to be just a face in crowd you better be a mask. If you aim ordinary you will achieve nothing.  The happiness of ordinary is predictable,. But never equal to the happiness of surprise given by life. The charm of ordinary is hard to repel yet may you never be just a name...... Dream big till you are in the Box one day...."

"Never say I am satisfied, always work hard to improve and change. Life means never to stop.. You have to be the North Wind which shall not stop for one.... Be greedy for more, greed makes you awake, it makes you dream, it makes you alive..... The reason to live is you, not what others define.. Satisfaction is to be attained when you knock the Great Door and you are unified with Thee..."

What do you think, what is that we want from life satisfaction or  to live every moment the way it is?

P.S- I choose greed to live life.......

thanking you to bear with me

Book Review: The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman and illustrated by Tom Percival

Book Review: The Tiny Wife by Andrew Kaufman and illustrated by Tom Percival Quote: The robbery was not without consequences. The consequences were the point of the robbery. It was never about money. The thief didn't even ask for any. That it happened in a bank was incidental. Can we take a moment and appreciate the cover! The only reason I picked this book from my friend Ashwin's bookshelf; the cover and the adorable illustrations inside. The Tiny Wife is a modern-day fable, it definitely is a weird and witty book! A perfect short distance read. It's the story of Stacey and David, Stacey gets robbed in a bank, where this flamboyant purple hatter robs an item of sentimental value from victims. David, Stacey's husband narrates the story, a smart narrative choice: a spectator and commentator. Each of the victims has their own 'shit' to deal with after the incident. Dawn's lion tattoo springs into life! Grace's husband turns...

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire. Quote: Perhaps the answer lay not in striving but in being. In simply accepting that the loneliness would never be eliminated fully, but that one could deal with it by learning to treat it like a companion and no longer an adversary. Ville a hunter wakes up from a dream, ventures out to search for the heart-stone; that holds the power of the river that's asleep. And this stone is guarded by wailing-angry-widow-spirits. Many attempts have been made at magical realism in Indian English writing, and I didn't like them. My personal opinion is that magical realism needs a deep connection with nature, maybe never explicitly explored in the text, but the traces of that connection always shows in the words written. And I have always argued that North East India is the most fertile ground to plant the seeds of magical realism in. Easterine Kire, pens our deep connection with nature for the national readership to gawk...

Book Review: The Missing Queen by Samhita Arni

Book Review: The Missing Queen by Samhita Arni Quote: Kaikeyi leans close to me. She reeks of tobacco. I can feel her hot, fetid breath on my skin. 'What's her story? That's a story that the loyal citizens of Ayodhya and your puppet newspaper may have trouble swallowing'. A nameless TV journalist, dares to do the impossible, on national television, she asks 'Where is Sita?' From then on the cat and mouse game of seeking the truth begins. Set in the city-state where Ram is the beloved king who is trying to bring Democracy. Ayodhya is an ever-growing kingdom that ate up Lanka's resources after defeating Ravan. In its omnivorous quest to be the shining example of development, many have been trampled. Our journalist keeps discovering secrets and ends up connecting dots to the other side of the story. From queen to princess she meets them all in her search for Sita. The book begins with Kaikeyi, within the first three pages I ...
