***********************************************************************

Rajesh had just passed out of his college and he was moving to the metro city in search of a job. He was invited to the metro city by one of his friends from college, who was also his senior during college days. He advised Rajesh to come and visit the metro city and search for a job as there are many big tech companies in that city. He also told Rajesh that he can stay in his room till the time he finds it comfortable to live in that city. He promised Rajesh to help him for securing a good job and to settle in that new city. Rajesh was in his early twenties with an average look with brown eyes and a slim body. By looking at him you can say he hadn’t combed his hair for many days. He was a timid person who doesn’t talk to anyone except when he needed anything. He was good in studies but was not able to secure college placement as he got ill at that time. He belonged to a lower-middle-class family. Rajesh’s father was a clerk in the government office and his mother was a housewife. He had one brother and one sister, both were younger than

him and were studying in school. He was now moving to the big city in search of a secure career.

When Rajesh reached the metro city. He was welcomed by his friend in the Railway-station. They both traveled to the room on a bike. When they reached the room, Rajesh’s friend showed him where he can sleep and all the important rooms of that house. He also helped Rajesh to settle in that room within a few days. Rajesh was now all settled and started searching for job opportunities online.

Rajesh found many job opportunities but was not able to secure an offer letter from any company. Sometimes he was not able to clear the qualifying exams and sometimes he was not able to crack the interview. This carried on for two months. He was continuously improving his skills and was preparing for it.

 Finally, he was able to secure a job in a big MNC. It was his first day in the office. After all the necessary formalities, he was taken to the training room. The training room was small and compact, it had two columns and five rows with computers on each table. It was packed except for the last row. Rajesh made himself comfortable in that row. After some time another person entered the training room and sat next to Rajesh. During the training, Rajesh was not able to find some things on his computer. He asked the person sitting next to him for some help. The person guided Rajesh and they both continued with their training.

At the end of the meeting, Rajesh thanked the person sitting next to him and introduced himself. The person sitting next to Rajesh also introduced himself. His name was Monty. They both talked a little and then went on their way. Monty was a well-built person. By looking at him you can say he is going to the gym daily.  For a few weeks, Rajesh and Monty casually talked to each other and spent most of the office time together. They were now close friends.

One day Monty asked Rajesh that if he knew any good property for rent in that city. The property in which he lives is very small and he is thinking to relocate. Rajesh told Monty that if he gets any information regarding any property for rent, he will let him know. That day when Rajesh reached his home, his friend and room partner told Rajesh that he has got a better job in another city and he will be leaving that room in one month.

Rajesh was shocked a bit but was also happy for his friend. He congratulated his friend and asked for a treat as well. They both talked for some time and then went to sleep. Rajesh however was scared to live alone in that big city. A week later when Monty met Rajesh, he told him that he had found a suitable property and will be shifting very soon. Rajesh told him about his friend and asked Monty that if he can stay with him in his flat.

Monty agreed as the flat was big and had two bedrooms. Rajesh was happy but he first informed Monty that he has a habit of smoking cigarettes. To this Monty replied that he can stay with him but whenever he wants to smoke, he must go outside the flat or go to the balcony. Monty also told Rajesh that he has lived with one of his friends in a flat in the past who used to smoke during college days. He has no problem living with him as well.

Within a month Rajesh and Monty had shifted to their new flat. Monty had a very kind and helpful nature. He used to help the people in society with small things. Even he used to buy groceries and other necessities for Rajesh as well when Rajesh was busy. He used to pay rent on time and did most of the daily house chores.

One day Rajesh saw that there is a sale on the cigarette packets when he visited a shop. The cigarette packets will be given at discounted price if anyone buys a whole lot. Rajesh thought that he can save a lot of money if he buys the whole cigarette packets for the next six months today. When he reached home, he told Monty to keep these cigarette packets with himself and give them one by one whenever he asks for them. Rajesh knew if he keeps these cigarette packets with himself, he will end up smoking all the cigarettes within one week. So, to control himself Rajesh gave them to Monty. Monty agreed and said that he should try to smoke a little less as it is dangerous for his health.

One day Monty got an emergency call from his hometown in the morning, and he left the flat by informing Rajesh that he might return in a week. Rajesh didn’t ask Monty about the emergency as Monty was in a big hurry. That night Rajesh was feeling the desire to smoke but only Monty knew where he had hidden Rajesh’s secret. Rajesh didn’t want to make a call as it might disturb Monty. He decides to go inside Monty’s room and search for the cigarettes all by himself. When he was searching Monty’s room for cigarettes, he found a hidden closet in the Almira. When he opened the closet, he was shocked to see what was inside. It was a GUN!!

The whole night Rajesh was not able to sleep. He was having several thoughts about Monty. He was thinking that Monty could be a terrorist or a criminal of any sort and he might harm him any day. Rajesh planned to leave the house first thing in the morning. When he opened the front door in the morning to leave. He was shocked to see Monty outside as he didn’t expect Monty to return so early. When Monty entered the flat, he saw the packed luggage of Rajesh. He asked Rajesh that if he is leaving for any emergency as well.

Rajesh could not control his emotions and thoughts. The gun from last night was roaming around his mind. He was angry and afraid at the same time, as he looked up to Monty and wanted to become like him. Rajesh told everything to Monty about last night in an angry and loud voice and he also told him that he didn’t want to live with any sort of criminal.

Monty was shaken for a bit, but he told Rajesh that I think it’s time for him to know the whole truth. He told Rajesh that he is an undercover agent of the government of India. He was assigned on a mission to catch a person who was giving jobs to undesirable candidates in the company by taking a huge amount of money as a bribe. Yesterday morning they have caught that person and it is time for him to leave that company as well the city. He also told Rajesh that he is telling all this to him as he has found a great friend in him and he believes in Rajesh that he will keep all this a secret. Rajesh was shocked after hearing the complete story. He had no words in his mouth. He was standing still in a place with his mouth open.

Odourless Flower

ENJOY!!!!

***********************************************************************

There was a big green valley with lots of trees and plants. A big and clean river flowed through that valley. The climate was pleasant and warm. It was heaven on earth. In that same valley was a flower garden, in which lots of variety of flowers were growing. In that garden was a very rare variety of flowers name “Cresenta”. It was a rare bread as it can grow in that climate only. It was a very beautiful flower and lots of tourists use to visit that garden to see that flower.

Crescenta was not happy at all. As she was an odorless flower and she was always used to a thing that if she had any sort of scent, she would be appreciated even more. Many more tourists will come from around the world to see its beauty and scent. But in reality, she was a little bit jealous of a flower named “Roselia” as it had a very nice scent that used to spread across the flower garden whenever wind flowed. Roselia was not as beautiful as Crescenta but she had a very beautiful scent that was increasing her number of visitors each day.

But all Cresenta wanted was fame for herself only. She couldn’t stand the view of any other flower getting appreciation and fame more than her or at all. She wanted to remain the only appreciable flower in that whole garden.

One night during the night with no moon, she saw a falling star. She asked the falling star to give her the most beautiful scent that no other flower had in the entire world. The next day she wished came true. She had the most beautiful scent in the entire world.

Cresenta was now the most beautiful flower with the most pleasant smell in the entire world. Lots of tourists now wanted to see that flower and they use to stand in queue for hours just to take a glance at her. She was enjoying her fame and appreciation. She was now so happy.

But after some time, she was attacked by bugs and insects. Her smell was so good that even insects and bugs from far away came to that garden to attack her. But they were not able to attack Roselia as nature had given her thorns and natural cover to be protected from these insects and bugs. But that was not in the case of Crescenta. As she didn’t have any odor, nature didn’t give her any protection as she wouldn’t need any. Slowly the insects and bugs destroyed Cresenta’s beauty and so she was banished from the face of that flower garden.

Moral: We should always appreciate what nature has given us and should never be jealous of others.

Trapped in Ego: Story of two well-diggers

Do check out my YouTube channel for more stories

ENJOY!!!!

***********************************************************************

Once upon a time in a large and prosperous village their lived two well-diggers. The village was prosperous as the soil was best for crops and plants to grow and produce a maximum number of fruits and vegetables according to their capacity. The environment and climate of that village were so peaceful and calm that anyone who visits it doesn’t want to return. The domestic animals in that village were also very happy as they were getting the proper amount of food that too with nutritious value and due to which they were producing the best quality of products for the farmers and villagers. There was also no shortage of water in that village as the groundwater in that village was not very deep, if the ground was dug for it they can find water very easily.

In that same village came to two well-diggers Ramesh and Suresh from a nearby village. Both of them were muscular and tough. Perfect people for digging the well and the village was large enough for both of them to get the job and survive.

But they were poor and were making their ends meet as there was little in that profession. The villagers use to pay them according to the level of the well they dig and as the water was not very far away from the earth's surface, they didn’t get enough money to save and prosper. They were just getting their daily bread and surviving to the end of days.

Ramesh, on one hand, was an honest and hardworking man with a positive attitude towards life who use to think that one day all this hard work will pay off and he will settle for sure. On the other hand, Suresh wanted to get rich fast and settle and can do anything to make that dream come true.

There was a bridge at one end of the village with which the businessman and farmers use to cross to go to the bigger cities and also sell their crops and do other business. It was a busy path and many villagers use to cross that bridge once or twice a week.

As many wealthy villagers used that bridge, so Suresh thought of a plan to rob them differently. He used to dig a hole in some way and a little bit near the bridge and whenever anyone tries to cross that bridge used to fall in that hole. As Suresh was strong and well-built, he used to carry them out on his shoulder but in a certain condition that the villagers will have to pay him half of their wealth. The innocent and afraid villagers use to pay him as they wanted their lives to be saved first. Suresh use to close that hole and again dig another whenever needed in a planned manner.

This plan of Suresh worked and he accumulated more wealth and riches to be spent in his entire lifetime. He was living like a king and even trained some apprentice of his to do the same. They use to dig holes and trap villagers from the nearby villages and demand money for the same. They use to give most of the amount to Suresh as he was strong among them and his apprentice was also afraid of him.

One day the apprentices came to Suresh to talk about one of the richest men in the village and how they were not able to trap him in that hole. One by one all the apprentices told the incident to Suresh. Each one of them had tried to make a better hole than the other but was not able to trap that man. That man was Ramesh as he was also well built and trained like Suresh, he use to climb out of that hole without the help of anyone. When Suresh left the village there was only one well-digger left in the entire village and nearby villages. So Ramesh worked very hard day and night and even trained and hired some of his apprentices and made his fortune. Ramesh was now one of the richest people in that village.

But Suresh felt like that his apprentices were not digging the hole too big and deep as till now no one was able to climb out of the hole dug by him. So he took this incident on his ego and didn’t even tell his apprentices about the plan and wanted to show them how the job is done. He worked day and night for five days to dig a hole that was too deep and wide. The trap was too deep that know even he cannot climb out of it. He tried several times to get out of it but it was of no use. In the end, he died due to thirst and hunger.


Moral: Never use your talent to hurt others. Use your strength and intelligence in the right way. Your ego will be the doom of yourself, so be humble and hardworking and one day you will be rewarded
