Nail in the fence

A story that I got as a forward from one of my friends. Really like it!!

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control hisanger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.Finally the day came when the boy didn’tl ose his temper at all.

He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.The days passed and the young boy was finally able totell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never bethe same. When you say things in anger,they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there. ” A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

Home in India

This is the picture of my home as it looks from space. Thanks to Google Earth.

For me, It’s not just a picture but a picture with thousands of memories. I guess most of you will agree on how special the place is where we were born and brought up. And being far from home for more than 5 years, that love for my hometown has grown so much. It’s a symbol of peace, happiness and great times. Vande mataram!

When we hear about war and fighting and millions of people losing their homes & loved ones, it’s truly sad that being humans, “A highly evolved and intelligent creature”, We resort to barbaric methods to achieve resolutions. Fight to resolve.

Being brought up in scenes of war and fighting is the worst, that I wish no child ever gets to see.

So on a happy note, I wish for peace and happiness for all beings on this planet.
