Criticism

A famous dancer  went to her guru, touched her feet and burst into tears. The guru asked her to wipe her tears and tell what happened. The dancer said, ''I am facing too much criticism these days. I can not  concentrate on my dance.'' Her guru  told her,''It is very easy to discontinue dancing. It will not affect anyone else except you. Child, whatever you do, you will not always get bouquets, you will also get brats. Don't run away from criticism. It is a lesson for you to work hard.''
                       This is a  lesson which is applicable to every one. We must always do our best. The best way to avoid  criticism is to do nothing. Only those who do something will  be critizised. Non performers will not get any criticism. Don't run away, if you are facing criticism. Learn to live constructively.Criticism can be positive without the intention of  causing harm to other person. Take it in the same spirit in which it is given. You cannot stop working for fear of being critisized. Take any criticsm  in a positive manner .Continue to perform your job full heartedly. Only cowards run away from fear of criticism.  I quote the famous words of Dale Carnegie,'Any fool can criticize,condemn and  complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.' Infact criticism , if taken in a posititive spirit, makes a person strong,firm  and determined. Discarding your hobby or your presentation due to adverse  criticism is simply unreasonable. Buck up, leave  all negative feelings behind, success is at your doorstep!!

Love for all seasons

Neeru,  and Jatin, were childhood friends.They were separated when  Neeru was eight and Jatin twelve.Neeru's one leg was shorter and therefore she limped while walking. All  the children used to bully her and made fun of her. Neeru did not mix with others and remained aloof. She always missed Jatin. Time passed. Neeru was in college studying in second year of B.Com. She had a photograph of Jatin and herself,which was kept hidden beneath the cover of her text books. She saw it occasionally and remembered the days,  she and Jatin played together. How nice were those days! One day after she reached home, her father's words gave her a shock. He said,''From tomorrow you are not going to college. Your marriage has been fixed for Sunday.'' Neeru wept but no one was there to console her. Within a week Neeru was married. At night she was sitting on the bridal bed. Her thoughts were in the past. Oh God, she wondered, why was she thinking of her past.Tears were flowing from her eyes. She heard  the sound  of someone's  footsteps.  She heard the sound of the closing of the door latch. Her heart was thumping  hard. She hid her face with her palms. The groom came and stood by her side. The perfume of his shaving cream and scent filled the whole room. Without a word, he held her hands and tried to remove them away from her eyes. He did not succeed. He sat beside her  and whispered in her ears,''Neer.'' The  word acted as  magic! She looked at him and uttered softly, 'Jatin!'. ''Yes my dear. I am your Jatin. I am a lecturer in your college. You did not recognise me.'' She was about to say something, but Jatin did not allow her to speak. He spread his arms around her and locked his lips with hers, which seemed like eternity.
                             It was Valentines Day, a symbol of Love for all seasons!!
