A RECENT COMMENT ON THIS PAGE -
It seems very interesting.. We can even introduce classic stories of our mother tongue in translation and open a discussion on it.As most f them can relate it to themselves, the inhibition  on talking in English can be overcome to a great extent.
 Besides, we can show them that both languages are equally significant.

ANECDOTE NO.13 ; 18/07/2020 

THE POWER OF LISTENING

Viktor Frankl, one of the great psychiatrists of the twentieth century, survived the death camps of Nazi Germany. His little book, Man’s Search for Meaning, is one of those life-changing books that everyone should read.

Frankl once told the story of a woman who called him in the middle of the night to calmly inform him she was about to commit suicide. Frankl kept her on the phone and talked her through her depression, giving her reason after reason to carry on living. Finally she promised she would not take her life, and she kept her word. 

When they later met, Frankl asked which reason had persuaded her to live?  

"None of them", she told him. 

What then influenced her to go on living, he pressed?  

Her answer was simple.
"_______________________________"

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

HINT : it was Frankl’s willingness to listen to her in the middle of the night. A world in which there was someone ready to listen to another's pain seemed to her a world in which it was worthwhile to live.

Often, it is not the brilliant argument that makes the difference. Sometimes the small act of listening is the greatest gift we can give.

ANECDOTE NO.12 ; 17/07/2020 

I can't look that old

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "surely I can't look that old.". Well . . . you'll love this one..The stuff is from a lady called Archana

"My name is Archana. I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.

I noticed his BDS degree on the wall, which bore his full name.

Suddenly, I remembered a tall , handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 25-odd years ago.

Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.

After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended St Xavier's high school.

"Yes. yes, I did.' he gleamed with pride.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "In 1987. Why do you ask?"

"You were in my class!!!!", I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely.

Then, 
that
ugly,
old,
bald,
wrinkled faced,
gray-haired,
decrepit,
idiot,
asked,


"................................................." ?

ANECDOTE NO.11 ;14/12/2019 



What a nice lady !

I was sitting on the bus and somebody tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned around and saw an old lady. She said to me, "Sonny, would you like some nuts? I've got a couple hazelnuts and almonds if you'd like."
"Sure," I replied. Then she gave me a handful of nuts and went back to sit with her friends.
"What a nice lady," I thought, while happily munching on the nuts.
A few minutes later, I felt another tap on my shoulder and there she was again, offering some nuts. I gladly accepted and she went back to her seat.
After about 10 minutes, she tapped me on the shoulder, once again offering some nuts.
I asked her, "Why don't you eat them yourself?"
"Because we've got no teeth," she replied.
"Then why do you buy them?" I asked.
"Oh, because ......................................................."

ANECDOTE NO.10 ;14/12/2019 

WHO ARE YOU?

During one of his travels, Kalidasa felt very thirsty and looked around for water. He saw a woman drawing water from a well. He went up to her and asked her for water. She agreed to give him water, but asked him, “Who are you? Introduce yourself.”

Now Kalidasa thought that an ordinary village woman was not worthy of knowing who Kalidasa was. So he said, “I am a traveller.” But his lady replied, “In this world there are only 2 travellers – the Sun and the Moon. Both Rise and Set every day and keep travelling perpetually.”
O
Then Kalidasa said, “Alright then, I am a guest.” The lady promptly replied, “In this world there are only 2 guests – Youth and Wealth … both are temporary and hence can only be called as guests.”

Intrigued Kalidasa said, “I am a Tolerant person (sahansheel vyakti).” Now the lady replied, “In this world only 2 truly know the meaning of Tolerance – Bhoomi (Earth) and Tree. How much ever you stamp the earth or throw stones at the tree (for the fruits), both continue to nurture us.”

Now Kalidasa was completely perplexed. He said, “Fine. I am a stubborn person (hatavaadi).” The lady smiled and said, “There are only 2 truly stubborn personalities – our nails and our hair. We keep cutting them non-stop, but they continue to grow.”

Kalidasa had been patient so far, but now in anger he said, “I am a fool”. Now the lady gave a wide smile and said, “There are only 2 kinds of fools in this world – a King who rules without having any capability or knowledge & a Minister who is a sycophant to such a King and lavishes praises on such a useless king.”

Kalidasa realised that he had been outsmarted. He fell at the feet of the lady and when he touched her feet and then got up, whom did he see? Mata Saraswati – the Goddess of Learning and Wisdom. She said, “Kalidasa, you are wise. But only if .........

ANECDOTE NO.9 ;02/12/2019 ( REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE OF  A MALAYALEE )
******
Malayalee's Blood

A rich Sheikh was admitted at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai for a heart transplant, but prior to the surgery the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arose. As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally. So the call went out to a number of countries.

Finally a Malayalee named Rajappan Neyyattinkara, Kerala was located who had a similar type of blood.

Rajappan willingly donated his blood for the Sheikh.

After the surgery, the Sheikh sent Rajappan as appreciation for giving
his blood, a new Toyota Prado, Diamonds, Lapiz Lazuli Jewellery, and a Million Dinars.

Once again the Sheikh had to go through a corrective surgery. His docto telephoned Rajappan, who was more than happy to donate his blood again.

After the second surgery, the Sheikh sent Rajappan a thank you card and a jar of Almond Halwa sweets. Rajappan was shocked to see that the
Sheikh this time did not reciprocate his kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Sheikh and said 'This time also I thought
that you would give me Toyota Prado, Diamonds and Jewellery.... but you gave only a thank you card and a jar of Almond sweets.'

To this the Sheikh replied: ................................................

ANECDOTE NO.8;22/09/2019 ( REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE OF SUDHA MURTI )
******************************************************
It was the beginning of summer. I was boarding Udyan Express at Gulbarga railway station. My destination was Bangalore. As I boarded the train, I saw that the second-class reserved compartment was jampacked with people. I sat down and was pushed to the corner of the berth. Though it was meant for three people, there were already six of us sitting on it...  The ticket collector came in and started checking people's tickets and reservations.

. Suddenly, he looked in my direction and asked, 'What about your ticket?' 'I have already shown my ticket to you,' I said. 'Not you, madam, the girl hiding below your berth. Hey, come out, where is your ticket?' I realized that someone was sitting below my berth. When the collector yelled at her, the girl came out of hiding. She was thin, dark, scared and looked like she had been crying profusely. She must have been about thirteen or fourteen years old.She had uncombed hair and was dressed in a torn skirt and blouse. She was trembling and folded both her hands.. The collector started forcibly pulling her out from the compartment. 

Suddenly, I had a strange feeling. I stood up and called out to the collector. 'Sir, I will pay for her ticket,' I said.  Then he looked at me and said, 'Madam, if you give her ten rupees, she will be much happier with that than with the ticket.' I did not listen to him. I told the collector to give me a ticket to the last destination, Bangalore, so that the girl could get down wherever she wanted. Slowly, she started talking. She told me that her name was Chitra. She lived in a village near Bidar. Her father was a coolie and she had lost her mother at birth. Her father had remarried and had two sons with her stepmother. But a few months ago, her father had died. Her stepmother started beating her often and did not give her food. She was tired of that life. She did not have anybody to support her so she left home in search of something better. 

By this time, the train had reached Bangalore. I said goodbye to Chitra and got down from the train. My driver came and picked up my bags. I felt someone watching me. When I turned back, Chitra was standing there and looking at me with sad eyes. But there was nothing more that I could do. I had paid her ticket out of compassion but I had never thought that she was going to be my responsibility!... I told her to get into my car. My driver looked at the girl curiously. I told him to take us to my friend Ram's place. Ram ran separate shelter homes for boys and girls. We at the Infosys Foundation supported him financially. I thought Chitra could stay there for some time and we could talk about her future after I came back from my tours. I was not sure if Chitra would even be there. But to my surprise, I saw Chitra looking much happier than before. Ram suggested that Chitra could go to a high school nearby. I immediately agreed and said that I would sponsor her expenses as long as she continued to study. I left the shelter knowing that Chitra had found a home and a new direction in her life. 
I got busier and my visits to the shelter reduced to once a year. But I always enquired about Chitra's well-being over the phone. I knew that she was studying well and that her progress was good.. I offered to sponsor her college studies if she wanted to continue studying. But she said, 'No, Akka. I have talked to my friends and made up my mind. I would like to do my diploma in computer science so that I can immediately get a job after three years.' She wanted to become economically independent as soon as possible.. Chitra obtained her diploma with flying colours. She also got a job in a software company as an assistant testing engineer. When she got her first salary, she came to my office with a sari and a box of sweets. One day, when I was in Delhi, I got a call from Chitra. She was very happy. 'Akka, my company is sending me to USA! I wanted to meet you and take your blessings but you are not here in Bangalore.'.  

Years passed. Occasionally, I received an e-mail from Chitra. She was doing very well in her career. She was posted across several cities in USA and was enjoying life. I silently prayed that she should always be happy wherever she was.  Years later, I was invited to deliver a lecture in San Francisco for Kannada Koota, an organization where families who speak Kannada meet and organize events. The lecture was in a convention hall of a hotel and I decided to stay at the same hotel. After the lecture, I was planning to leave for the airport. When I checked out of the hotel room and went to the reception counter to pay the bill, the receptionist said, 'Ma'am, you don't need to pay us anything. The lady over there has already settled your bill. She must know you pretty well.' I turned around and found Chitra there. She was standing with a young white man and wore a beautiful sari. She was looking very pretty with short hair. Her dark eyes were beaming with happiness and pride. As soon as she saw me, she gave me a brilliant smile, hugged me and touched my feet. I was overwhelmed with joy and did not know what to say. I was very happy to see the way things had turned out for Chitra. But I came back to my original question. 'Chitra, why did you pay my hotel bill? That is not right.' suddenly sobbing, she hugged me and said,"........................."

Story- 1

The teacher may begin like this.

A birthday party was going on. It was at the Mayors' house.His daughter is 21 that day . Pretty with long dark hair, large eyes and a smart outlook. All the youth in the town had reached her house that day.Soon after the lunch, they were lingering in the large garden.Beautiful flowers.Low music flowing in from the background.Groups of young men and women assembled here and there and started chatting.There was a splash in the pond in the middle.Every one ran to the shore and saw the large notice boards." Do not step into the water. Beware of crocodiles."It was a large pond.Blue water welcomed you.But here and there, if you look carefully you can see the ugly heads of alligators.No one wanted to be in trouble.But then the Mayor came to the garden and made a surprise announcement."Well, young men, if any one of you dare to swim across the pond and reach me in the yard, two gifts await him.One-half of my property, the second one -my dear daughter.She will marry him."

The youngmen were stunned.They wanted the gifts.But there were ugly, brutal beasts in water. The young men crowded near the pond and went on murmuring,  thinking and planning.No one dared to step in.In silence, they stood meditating.Calculating  the risks.and ..Then forward came a young fellow.Off he went down into the pond.Fast he swam across thss the pond, reached near the Mayor who was sitting on the couch in the yard.The whole crowd has struggled to reach near the Mayor.To all of them and looking at the face of the Mayor, the young man blurted out that question.

( Take a pause here.Ask the students, Can you guess the question- the young man would have asked the Mayor ? )

The students will come out with interesting remarks. Wait for different answers.Make them present the questions in English.

Explain the logic also.( In the story we don't mention that the young man willingly jumped into the water.He too might have been timid like all the others.But some one pushed him from behind and that's why we describe as off he went down into... )

Anecdote-3
THE POPCORN SELLER AT THE MUZHAPPILANGAD BEACH 

WE were returning to Payyannur after a usual visit to our thyroid specialist in Tellicherry early in the morning .My wife and my two sons accompanied me in the car .It was after 10 AM and we just came upon the Muzhappilangid drive in beach.We were not in for a picninc but we just decided to have a look.At frst we did not want to enter  and so we skipped the entry and just drove leisurely and  slowly along the road which curved along the wall overlooking the beach. As we rolled on ,we  were blessed with a fantastic overview of the tempting  white sand drive in beach and the dancing waves of the blue sea beyond it.Then I  found a rather filthy  narrow opening to the beach with tyre trails in the  middle.It semmed like a pool of sand and I.I paused for a while. Will the car go forward ? The wet trails of tyres made me confident ."Why not just enter and have a look and go back.We are not driving along the beach now.Must reach home before lunch."  .Every one inside agreed with my idea and We puddled in.To my horror the car got stuck in the middle track.The wheels just rolled on, the engine roared as I accelerated but the car did not move an inch back or forth. My sons got out and tried pushing the car but to no avail.The beach was almost empty as the day has just dawned on.No one was seen near or around as this was not the entry side or exit . We sweated it out in the sunshine for more than half an hour but the car did not move.Each of us took our turn in the driver seat and tried our skills at the abc's .All our experience as drivers failed.Panic was settling in as we were then tressspassers would have to pay a fine for that too.  I  have almost decided to step out of the car ,walk  to the entry gate which was at least a kilometer away and seek help.But at the moment a popcorn seller ,a teenager appeared  before us ,pushing his cart away along the coastline.I waved for help.

         To my surprise , he ran in and I told him about our predicament.He also joined in with my sons  to push the car back or forth.I started the car and tiried to accelerate.Both attempts failed .Then he came close to the driver seat and asked me  for the keys."Let me try."I doubted for a moment. 
       We are left stranded in a rather lonely part of a beach in Kannur. I am getting out of my car and giving the keys to a stranger.I don't even know his name. But his oval  face with a thin nose and green eyes where beard has just gown up was overwhelming with confidence.
         "Do you drive ? You won't even have the license ? " " Sir,i know how to do this. give me the keys." His face was brimming with confidence.

 I handed him over the keys and we all got out of the car  ready to push the car from rear.He got in and started the car .As we pushed, the car got to a quick move and Lo ! it leapt forward,got onto the beach track and raced on.I stood amazed and shocked.

To my relief ,the car stopped a few yards away from us safe on the beach track.The popcorn boy got out of the car, came to us ,handed over the key and started moving away from us.

I thanked him aloud from back,requested him to stop and asked him how much shall I pay for job.He said he did not need anything .

When I persisted ,he said smiling a smile that excelled the sunshine over the beach."No.I won't take anything for it it.We... we can't take any thing for such .....".

As he moved on to his popcorn cart, we were speechless for long inside the car .The blue sea lay there out with thousands of sparkling eyes, most of them winking at us.

( classroom use- pause the story at the stage.... where the boy is smiling a  smile that excelled the sunshine over the beach ....and ask the class-what surprising answer would have the boy told us.Just elicitate the possible answers .some of them will surely be awsome .)

ANECDOTE 4: 22/07/2019

A cruise ship met with an accident at sea.On the ship there was a couple who after having made their way to  a lifeboat realised that there was space for only one of them.
at this moment the man the man pushed the woman behind and jumped on to the lifeboat himself.
The lady stood on the sinking ship and shouted one sentence to her husband who was moving away.
what do you think she shouted ?

( wait for various responses from the class .)

*****************************************************************
now continue the story :

The lady shouted ," take care of our child".

The story goes like this.
The cruise sank.The man went home and brought up their daughter single handedly.

Many years later after the death of the man.Their daughter found his diary while tidyng his belongings.

It turns out that when her parents went to cruise on the ship ,the mother was already diagnosed with a terminal illness.

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


At the critical moment,the father rushed to the only chance of
survival.

He wrote in his diary, " How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you,but for the sake our daughter

I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone"

****************************************************************
the moral of the story may also be discussed
While judging an action by any one ,remember there are many goods and evils lying behind it.The truth we see is only a tip of the iceberg of the reality.
 When some one takes an initiative in a work,they do so not because they are stupid, but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

anecdote 5:

WHAT TASTE DO YOU LEAVE IN OTHERS' MOUTHS?

There was an old man who was admitted in a hospital.

A young man was visiting him every day, 
and sits with him for more than one hour.
He helps him eat his food, 
and to take his shower.

Then he takes him walking in the garden of the hospital.

After that he brings him back to his room and helps him to lie down.

He goes away after reassuring himself that the old man is doing well.

One day the nurse entered his room, to give him medicine and inspect his condition, 
and said to him:
"May the Lord be always gracious to your kind and caring son."

The old man looked at her and closed his eyes and said to her:
"I wish it was one of my children.
 This is an orphan from the neighborhood where we live.
 I met him one day in the past, crying at the door of a Temple , 
after his father died.
 I comforted him and bought for him candy. 
I neither saw him nor talked to him for a very long time.

When he grew up and came to discover where my wife and I were living. 
He was visiting us every day to inspect our conditions.
 When I later fell sick, 
he took my old wife to his home.
 He then comes to the hospital to see my treatment everyday. 
One day I asked him: "My son why do you have to deal with us and care about us?"

He simply smiled and then said:
 ...........................................
Stop here and ask the class.what would the youngman have said ? Can you guess ?
***************************************************

*****************************************
He simply smiled and then said:

"The taste of the candy is still in my mouth."
********* Plant well, 
if you do, 
even if it is not on your place,
 God will not Forget the beautiful deed wherever you have planted it.

A beautiful deed will only be harvested by those who planted it, 

no matter how long it takes.

Anecdote 6-Do not judge a book by its cover

Today, I got in Churchgate local from Virar. This old lady (very thin, wearing messy clothes, carrying unorganised bag full of clothes) got in local when all the seats were occupied. Being very thin, she did not need much space. So she requested all the ladies (who were sitting spreading their legs as much as they can in order to pretend that there is no space even for an ant!) to shift a bit so that she can manage to sit. The lady was so thin that she needed as much space as a 2-3 yrs old kid would need! But still, ladies were denying to shift as if they have been fixed there with fevicol 😊
I had to make them 'realise' that if they would be kind enough to sit without spreading legs, this old female would get a seat! After having a few mins of 'unhealthy discussion', they agreed to shift. But gave very disgusting look to the lady. And asked me to let her sit beside me because they did not want to sit next to an untidy person!
I was lucky enough that she chose to sit next to me. I was feeling so sad that she had been judged and ridiculed because of her attire, personality and messy bag. I told her not to feel bad about the hurtful comments she got from those ladies!
The lady just smiled and said "I never feel bad about it. Because their comments are limited only upto this journey of 1 hour. Their perception cant make any difference to my 65 yrs of journey and to the rest of it! It is not their fault that they don't know that this messy, weak old lady was a state level hockey player when she was young. They don't know that this lady they are denying today to sit next to has worked in French embassy of India as a certified bilangular. They don't know that the lady they are finding ugly today, was a part time model in her young days! They don't know that the lady they are finding weak, is so strong that even after losing her husband and their only daughter, she moved on in life with joy! They don't know that the lady they are asking "pehli baar aayi hai kya train me?" is travelling in Mumbai locals since 1940. They don't know that the lady they are advising to sit at home in this age, travels DAILY from Virar to Bandra in "peak" hours to teach unprivileged children, so that they won't become like one of these people when they will grow up!"

 😊 such a tight slap to all those who judge a book by its cover 😊

I could not resist to take a selfie (though its not perfect) with Ivy and post it here along with her thoughts so that we all could learn from her.

Before we parted our ways, she recognised the question in my eyes, and said, "Ivy is one type of a plant. You did not learn it in your school days?"

God make us meet some people for a reason!

ANECDOTE NO.7 ;22/09/2019 : THE BOY WHO whistles a lot!

A Professor started his class on a very serious Topic. The moment he turned towards the blackboard, one of the students whistled. He turned, looked at the class and asked the Whistler's name. No one answered.

The Professor peacefully kept the Pen in his pocket saying: "Lecture ends here. I'll tell you a story to utilise the remaining time".

Everyone became interested.

"Yesterday night I tried hard to sleep, but it was miles away from my eyes, so I thought I'd better get petrol in my car, which will save my time next morning and might induce sleep. After having my tank full, I started roaming in that area, enjoying the peace of a traffic free ride.

Suddenly, on the corner I saw a girl who was as young and beautiful as the clothes she was wearing. Must have been returning from a party. Out of courtesy, I turned my car towards her and asked if I may be of any help. She asked me if I could drop her to her home, she'll be very obliged, to which I agreed.

She sat in the front seat with me. We started talking, and to my amazement she was very intelligent, had control on many topics which many youngsters don't.

When we reached her address, she admitted my courteous nature and behavior and accepted that she had fallen in love with me.

I also admitted her intelligence and beauty and that I've also started liking her. I told her about my job as a professor in the university.

The girl asked my number, which I gave her willingly. Then she asked me a favor, to which i couldn't have denied naturally.

She said that her brother is a student in the same university, and asked me to take care of him, since we'll be in a long relationship now.

I asked the name of the student. She said that I'll recognise him with one of his very prominent quality, He whistles a lot!

All eyes in the classroom turned towards the boy who had whistled.

The professor said: "......................................................................”.
