We all are Blind

A 24 YEAR BOY SEEING OUT FROM THE TRAIN WINDOW, SHOUTED, “DAD LOOK THE TREES ARE GOING BEHIND”. Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behaviour with pity. Suddenly he again said “Dad look the clouds are running with us!”. The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man, “Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said, “I did it and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth.

He wanted stability in his life. However, in that one decade of his working for the organisation, his CEO changed thrice.

Fruit Basket

There was a man who would every day buy apples on his way back from office. And all through the night he would talk about the lovely apples that he bought. He believed those apples would make the family healthy and thereby make a huge difference in their lives. His wife on the other hand bought vegetables and fruits and brought them home in a basket.

What he saw was a mix of greens and fruits looking fresh as a daisy. And amongst the fruits were some luscious apples. He…
