my sweet grandma

. My grandmother was from a town in the Gulbarga area of Karnataka. And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child, I was from the City and loved the small town they lived in. People knew everyone, their kids, their pets, their ancestors. The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting...she would make little sandwiches and we'd have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She'd knit dress for her grandchildren as well as making beautiful quilts for each one. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needle work. Placing her thimble on her finger she'd remark....I wouldn't want to sew without one. A few years ago when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven, I bid farewell to a loving Grandmother... How quickly our lives can change. We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from Grandma. She'd never forgotten my birthday! On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low and a lot older. Something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow, it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble! How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her. Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to fluff, to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble along side the others I've collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me. What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow. I heated the tea kettle and made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and enjoyed my tea and Grandma's thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!

HUMAN LIFE IS VALUABLE

Hello friends, here I will ask you all a question. If given a chance to you all will you all help others or you think for you, if given a chance you would spend your money on your own sweets and dresses or would use it for some good cause.

Ok here I will tell a story, once there lived a family in a small town and which was the best for itself , they had lots off money , they were the second richest in this city, they had 2 children by name Ravi , and Raj both  completed there primary school and stepped into higher primary .

But in due time both developed different option , Ravi begin elder was having too harsh nature where as raj was soft by nature , once it happened that Ravi and raj went to a mall with there parents and Ravi purchased too costly materials , dresses , toys etc.

Where as raj brought just a small story book and remaining left to the parents his this nature was seen by his mother and next day there mother gave some sweets to both and tasting them Ravi troughed off telling that it never taste good, but his mother brought it from best sweet seller, so in this way Ravi had turned too rude, he has developed this nature of indulging sensual pleasures and luxurious life. When ever his little brother asked his elder brother Ravi used to tell one does not get born as human very often. So one should pursue material comforts and sensual pleasures one should enjoy life to the fullest.

Raj was sensible and decent boy he was concerned about the improper and wild activities of his elder brother Ravi, he was pained by his disposition. Whenever he had an opportunity he would try to counsel Ravi but it was off no use. Ravi did not understand. When Ravi was intoxicated he could not discriminate between rights and wrong, he would mistreat his servents in home. one day just by chance Ravi was extremely pleased by some action of raj as a reward Ravi gave raj a beautiful remote car soon after leaving the room raj pressed the buttons so harshly that it broke and he thrower it Ravi saw that activity and asked how could you do this I gave you the most expensive car toy with due respect raj replied I only followed what you have taught me,

Ravi in anger I taught you to show disrespect? how dent talk nonsense so raj tells mother says we all have been blessed with human life that is considerably more valuable than this toy however the way you are wasting away your time in pursuit of creature comforts without any regard to decency and morality has taught me to misuse the toy raj hit the target Ravi realized his mistake his life was changed for good and noble cause his later came first in studies.

Only thing we get to know is that human life is valuable one should not waste it for material pleasures and luxuries.
