The boss and The embarrassment




 For my company's party, my boss and I wanted to go to a party hall. We started from the company itself, in his car. Everyone else left first. We were late because we had some work to do. Those were the days when I was extremely fortunate to work for the ideal company, ideal boss, and ideal location. Everything felt like a dream.

My boss used to be very nice to us. He knew the name of the party hall but not the exact location. I asked him if he knew the address. But he was confident that we would figure out the location once we reached there. What can a subordinate do? I nodded my head.

 We arrived at the location. There were no lights in the vicinity. He was certain that the Party hall was nearby, but we couldn't pinpoint the exact location. We continued our search on the road for some time. But we couldn't figure out where it was.

So I suggested calling HR to confirm the location.

"Don't worry, gentleman," he said. "We'll find out."

Momentarily, a person was walking down the street. The boss intervened.

"Excuse me!" said the boss.

"Yes!" said the man. "What's up?"

Boss asked, “Can you please help us to reach a party hall the pearl.”

He said, "Yes, I am going nearby only. I can show you the way if you let me enter the car."

The Boss replied, "Ohh... very lovely. Please come in. "

I, too, was unable to guess anything at the time.

The man got into the car and began showing the route. He asked the boss to stop after traveling just about 500 meters.

We thought we had finally arrived. The man got down the car.

The man said, "Thank you. Now you just turn around and go back 500m. If you look inside the left, you'll see the Pearl board just behind the tree. "

We couldn't figure out what had happened to us right away. The boss simply turned around and returned to the location where we had given a lift to the man.

We discovered a board of The Pearl hidden behind the tree on the left side of the car. We were unable to know earlier because there were no lights outside.

But instead of being angry at him, we were laughing.

When we entered the Pearl, all of our colleagues and seniors were already there. Clearly, we were late. When a colleague asked both of us why we were late, I couldn't stop laughing. My boss was visibly embarrassed. What a feeling it is to see your boss embarrassed by his own mistakes.

The purity of thought

  Everything in the world in its purest form becomes its best form. The water when achieves its purest form becomes the sweetest in the taste. When air is in its purest form it becomes the freshest air. The same thing happens with our minds as well. If you remove all your possessiveness from the mind, the mind works most beautifully. If your thoughts are pure, you become the best person.  Bhagwan Mahaveer, Lord Ram left everything and become God. Lord Jesus left this world on the cross and it became the symbol of Christians.  Lord Gautam Buddha also left his extra luxurious life as a king and became a saint. When your soul starts its purification, material possessiveness goes away from the soul.  There was a rich person living in a palace. He was a miser, would not spend a single penny extra, or would not help anybody. Once there was a flood in the town. His palace got immersed in water. He was on the top of the palace.  A man with a boat came and as...

Mystery of a shoe bomb

It was late at night, and the only people in the store were security guards stationed outside. Lily had entered the store from the backyard as both security guards were on the front side dealing with a psycho client who was yelling at the business for poor product quality. She dashed towards the processing portion of the business, where donated items are accepted, verified, and refurbished. There were several cameras, wires, and other items that were kept discretely. She instantly began looking in the midst of the mayhem. She found the camera after some searching. There was some data on the camera chip that may assist Lily save her boyfriend. While the data was being collected, Lily began visualising the beginning of this narrative. Lily had just received her first pay check as a schoolteacher. She had set up a date with her...

Sacrifice

Human life is incomplete without sacrifice. But if we have no other option than to sacrifice something is not actually a sacrifice. It is called helplessness. It has an altogether different system. Also, sacrifice is always to give something and not taking out the life of anybody or anything. When we have lots of options by which we can possess more than what we have or there is no need to donate something to somebody but still if we sacrifice or donate for someone’s betterment is actually a sacrifice.  As human beings, we live in society. So it is our duty to donate what society needed. This donation can be small or big but it should be as per society’s requirement.   Donation by pure heart gives the best result in terms of real happiness and inner peace.  Suppose you are walking on the road with a vegan sandwich in hand. And you see a very poor small orphan boy, very hungry crying for food, ask you the sandwich. You already had food. But you have taken ...
