A Cunning Soul




Once upon a time, there was a jungle. A deer couple lived in the jungle. It had two kids. However, one was a fawn and the other was a fox cub. The event occurred in such a way that this fox was orphaned only during its birth. So it was raised solely by the dear pair. These kids were now adults, and the deer had fawns and the fox had fox cubs. They were staying together. Playing together, exploring the jungle together. They believed they were all members of the same animal species. In one incident, lions killed all the fathers of the family. Only the grandmother deer, the fox mother, the deer mother, and all the fawns & cubs remained in the family. 

Tiger believed that, given the current situation, he could easily capture the family's young fawns & cubs. But looking at the mother’s aggressiveness, the tiger went back. He got afraid of them. But now he decided that he should break the family first. Then he plotted a wolf to support the fox family. Now the fox family and wolf asked the deer family to leave the place with their fawns. Poor deer left the place. Deer had lost one fawn and now only one fawn was there whereas fox had two cubs.

The wolf was now following the mother and grandmother deer. They were terrified of the wolf. They believed that this wolf was sent by Fox to kill the fawn. To protect themselves from wolves and foxes, they requested assistance from the tiger. They didn't know, however, that the tiger had instigated the wolf's plot against them.



Tiger was demonstrating his support for the deer by protecting them from the wolf. However, deer were fortunate enough to receive assistance from various animals at different times. For example, an elephant assisted them in one fight, and a black panther was another deer friend who assisted the deer in another fight.
In one fight, when the elephant was about to kill the wolf, the tiger came up from behind to help. Wolf was rescued. But now, the elephant told the deer that the wolf had support from the tiger. Deer began to be cautious and avoided the tiger. Mother fox had also learned by the time that the wolf had played a game. It killed one of the cubs and handed it over to the tiger. The tiger now desired the fawn and the fox cub. He arranged for the wolf to take the side of the deer against the fox, demonstrating that the wolf had been duped by the fox. 
However, the deer had evolved and was now aware of the wolf's intentions. It stayed away from the wolf. Still, he used to come and sit at the gate of the deer home, pretending to be a deer supporter. But his intentions were not to kill the deer cub for himself, but for the tiger. He used to get a daily share of the tigers' food.


But when the deer discussed this with the fox and other friendly animals, the wolf decided to leave. 

Because of their unity, the deer and fox drove the wolf away from the jungle. Tiger, on the other hand, was still present there to plan something else for them. Some souls never stop being cunning until they die.

Humanity Pays Off

It was just another day. After a very hectic workload in the company, I was very much tired. At that time there were mobiles but not with common people. The Internet had started its influence and was capturing human beings like the British had captured India in history. Being an engineer, now I think you waste half of your youth life just thinking of job search, job change over, and its frustration. Unknowingly I started my journey on the same path.  Having tired though, I went to café… no..no not café coffee day. I went to an internet cafe to search and apply for jobs. This had become my daily routine to go to a cyber café and search for a job.  One fortunate day, I got a call for an interview. It was in some area in Pimpri Chinchwad. I was needed to go by city bus. As usual, I lied to my boss and got leave for health reasons. I went for the interview and it was good. But they told me that they will inform me results in one or two days. I was hopeful. With lots of th...

Forgiveness is happiness

I came back from the office at 11 pm. I was very tired and wanted rest. Today only I had salary and cash was there in my wallet. After freshen up, I just had dinner and slept.  Morning, the doorbell was ringing continuously. I opened the door.   “Good Morning, please pay the milk bill for the month.” Milk Man was on the door.  “ Ok, How much I need to pay,” I replied.  “500,” he said.  I went to bring money. I just counted the money in my wallet, I observed that 100 less in my wallet.  Anyway, I paid the cash and closed the door.  I immediately asked my younger brother, “ Hey Sam, have you taken money from my wallet?”  He replied “ no,”  I thought “ Ok, I might have lost somewhere.”  But, I doubted Sam as I found his eyes were telling a different story. I decided to watch him. The next day, I found that again Cash is less. Now my suspect became stronger and I just decided to keep watch on him. As it was a holiday, we sta...

Truth is stranger than fiction.

My boss, Anant, was of mid-thirty. He was a good guy and a jolly person. We were three in the office.  Myself Karan, working as a trainee engineer. And an assistant named Vaibhav. Whatever work was there, we used to distribute and do the work. But many times, we used to go to customer or vendor sites; there would be nobody in the office. So, Anant decided to have a receptionist for the office. He explained to us, “She will handle office documents and call management.” He told me to give an advertisement in a local newspaper in Pune. I and Vaibhav immediately completed the job. Boys will be boys. Both of us were very happy with the idea that one girl would be there with us for the next few days in the office.  Finally, the day of interviews came and one by one girls started entering for interviews. Anant had selected few girls for the interview. Vaibhav and I, both were so excited that we told Anant that there is no appointment with any customer as well as vendor. W...
