Greatness beneath the tiny soul


Heart touching story in words of my neighbor on the greatness of a innocent's small boy who is on the verge of losing his mother. A guaranteed tear jerker for even the most hard hearted.









A good reminder: "Take time to appreciate what you have now." --Don't miss reading this one...

On the last day before Christmas, I hurried to go to the Supermarket to buy the
remaining of the gift I didn't manage to buy earlier.
When I saw all the people there, I started to complain to myself,"It is going to take forever here and I still have so many other places to go.
Christmas really is getting more and more annoying every year.How I wish I could just lie down, go to sleep and only wake up after it..."
Nonetheless, I made my way to the toy section,to buy a teddy for my small sister and there I started to curse the prices, wondering if after all kids really play with such expensive toys.
While looking in the toy section, I noticed a small boy of about 5 years old, pressing a doll against his chest. He kept on touching the hair of the doll and looked so sad. I wondered who was this doll for. Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him, "Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?"
The old lady replied, "You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear."
Then she asked him to stay here for 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I started to walk toward him and I asked him who did he want to give this doll to.
"It is the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."
I replied to him that may be Santa Claus will bring it to her, after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly.
"No, Santa Claus can not bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there."
His eyes were so sad while saying this.



"My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mummy will also go to see God very soon, so I thought that she could bring the doll with her to give it to my sister."
My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said, "I told daddy to tell mummy not to go yet. I asked him to wait until I come back from the supermarket."
I cursed myself just for a while that i was hesitating to buy a teddy for my sis due to its price while that innocent boy desired to buy that doll in spite of its expensiveness and that too for a person who was not existing in the world...!
I wished I could have helped that boy with the money...:-(..


PS : Appreciate your luck that u have the person u love beside you...the god is quite merciful towards u...and in order to be grateful respect the presence of that person overcoming different boundaries..!...:-)

Positive vs Negative response

 7th March 2024 A thought just hit my mind today. Like I am suffering a lot of challenges and obstacles in getting married to my long time girlfriend. She has been with me in all the ups and downs since a decade now. However, just because we belong to an orthodox Indian society divided on caste, color, culture, region, religion, and multiple other differences, one has to suffer a lot on multiple stages in many aspects while taking important decisions in life. My girlfriend belongs to a different caste, and is from another state and will surely bring an entirely different set of culture and mindset with her when she will be marrying me. Parents mainly remain scared due to cultural differences, perspective issues, and the part where there are high chances of huge toxicities and arguments which can adversely affect the harmony of the families.  In India, the marriage is never between the two individuals. Parents from both sides are involved, then the relatives comes in the picture and so

Mental Health: A Basic Overview

Ever lived in a state of depression, anxiety, sleep-deprived mode, and panic attacks? Ever tried searching for symptoms of these disorders on the internet? What are these? What do they do to a human brain or body? Are they external or internal? How can they be controlled or prevented? Just like a liver fails, a kidney fails, a heart fails, similarly a mind fails as well. You eat junk, you impact your gut health; you drink junk, you impact your kidney and liver; you smoke junk, you impact your lungs and heart. Similarly, as you go on feeding your mind with junk thoughts, it also gets impacted in a similar way. So what actually is mental health?  How can you control it and connect your thoughts and emotions and achieve a mental balance? Good mental health does not mean that one doesn't have mental illness. It is about having a sense of purpose in life getting involved with creative things coping with stress and setbacks in life forming meaningful and close relationships being in tou

A weird paradox

25-35 is the age that if you are in struggling to development phase during this age then you find it very difficult to share it seeking solutions from others.  For example, currently I am facing huge struggles, obstacles and complication in my PhD due to lack of proper amenities, toxic research culture, politics on may levels and layers, egos and corruptions involved, untimely delays, resource allocations, and then in the end complex, unpredictable, and weird support and supervision as well.  There's too much stress at the work place. Add to that, I am literally suffering from too many prolonged injuries since past four years, now the pain is becoming severe day by day, and I have developed new issues as well. I suffer from herniated spinal slip disc issue, which is severely affecting my neck, spine, lower back, and my kneee. Then I have achilles tendons, and heel pain issues from past three years due to past many basketball and football injuries. I had minor accident accident also
