THE CLEVER BOY

-

When one of the ancient king was visiting to comb village in search of stunning boy,he reached to one poor boy's house."What are you doing?"the king asked as he looked to boy.And the boy answered,"I am guarding house".

Again the king asked,"where did your father go?"he replied,"My father went in search of eyes,my lord"

Again the king wanted him to tell where his mother was.The poor boy gave reply that his mother was gone out of home to search Stomach.

The king was surprised to all his answers and to analyze it,he stayed with poor boy.In the evening before twilight was swallowed completely by the night,his father had returned to house with the load of sandal-wood to light home at night and at the same time his mother had also made to home with food .

The king was impressed to boy's peculiar expression and he felt happy as he made journey back to the palace.

The day after king reached to the palace,he called poor boy to palace and handed  him two Golden eggs.And the king said,"Between your house and my palace there is bridge,from that bridge,if you cross with two golden eggs,there is peril of breaking down bridge,and also if you cross without golden eggs the danger of   breaking down bridge will be still there"." And even if you carry only one egg while crossing the bridge,the bridge will break down.You shouldn't cross the bridge keeping two golden eggs together,carrying only one and you shouldn't cross it without golden eggs".The king ordered poor boy.

The wretched boy replied,"O key,my precious Lord"as he received two glowing golden eggs and turned to come back to home.As he reached adjacent to the bridge,he grabbed one golden egg by right hand and another by the left.Then he was steadily crossing the bridge as he threw one egg up in the air,other remains  with one hand.So, he finally succeeded in crossing the bridge by throwing up in the air and when the right hand's egg fell down again,he threw up an egg of the left hand.

By keeping one egg in the hand and one golden egg in the air,he made to home safe in ease without any obstacles carrying two bright golden eggs with him.

And when the king heard those about the boy,he thought the boy was over-clever and the lord had stunned by the boy's brilliance.So,the king called him back again to the glorious palace and made poor boy a renowned Minister.

THE AUTUMN; ONLY SEASON IN MY WORLD.

Dearest cutie, It is really hard indeed to make my survival in this world without you, by my side sharing the same path wherever I walk,looking to the same direction towards beautiful surrounding of the Nature and making the best time that ever happened in ones life.I feel you are no more in this world and in my world too,you have gone far and fled to the world of marriage to which I would not reach without person like you to accompany to live in it. I wander like a lonely cloud floating in the air of summer sky without true destination, without you I do not have any dreams and hobbies. Forget about destination, but I remember it whenever something charming around me reminds of you, since I knew you were my true destination. I give description of my life 'meaning less 'without the person who is meaningful to me, without which I cannot appreciate the beauty of the universe. I am trying not to remember you, but if you understand what it means, it does not mean I stop

Here are the some stories about the person who had believed in themselves.It is very inspirational at the same time it is intriguing and I hope it would do the same thing to you all my beloved readers.Have you ever heard or knew that; -Abraham Lincoln was defeated 8 times in election but he didn't abnegate easily,he believed in himself so, he became the great president ever. -Albert Einstein who was denied

The bitter regret

IT is on Sunday, on lonely day. A regret walks into my soul Abode, my soul became to him. He grew and grasped my soul wholly. My thought feeds him pretty well I'm the one dead man walking. On the Ghost's soil of loneliness The memories were no sweeter. He plays no music sweet and soft. Speaks no words of inspiration. OH! it is unbearable. He invaded my soul. Like lasting solar eclipse  But people concern solar eclipse. Yet I hear her prayers. "You are my best son. Let you get fulfilment. Of dreams you aspired" Then Held my giraffe head up. To see the Northern star sparkling Never to let it down To watch yellowish grass dancing In the atmosphere of solitude. This poem expresses about our mind which would bring many confusions and sorrows if it is not untamed and unrealized. Every confusion, regrets and sorrows come and become stronger which would also lead to suicide. All this happens due to lack of realization of our mind
