Lessons from a Snail

 




  A motivational story

 

The crimson sun was high, and the season of blossom and fruits was just a few days away. In the gardens of nature, there lived a snail. Slowest of them all, but carried a shell of wisdom. As summer was fading and the grand season of spring was arriving in a few days, the snail marked an apple tree; the large apple tree was going to be a challenging climb for the slow creature, but the juicy apples at the top would certainly be worth the hassle.

The snail dragged itself to the bottom of the tree, and diligently started its climb; across the apple tree, stood a tall and dark oak tree. The oak tree was home to a pair of grey owls; the snail had caught their attention. The owls mocked the snail, “look at that slow-poke, barely moving an inch in an hour. The poor fellow has no idea that there are no apples in the tree.” The snail did not mind and kept itself on the track to the top, and the owls went back about minding their business.

As the last light of the day dissolved, the owls set their sight back on the snail. The slow-poke had hardly made any progress; it was just a few inches ahead from where it had started. The pair of birds felt a sense of sadness and sympathy. They decided to fly down to the snail, “ Mr. Snail, there are no fruits at the top of the tree yet, your hard work of climbing up the tree is in vain.” The owls spoke. Without a pause, the snail climbed on and answered, “ Dear Owls, it will take me a long time to reach the top of the tree, and spring is just a few days away. By the time I reach the top, the apples will be there.” The owls understood and left the snail alone on its quest to reach the top.

In life, the very same happens. The road to your goals in far fetched, and not everyone can see your dreams. Avoid the owls in your life and stay disciplined in your path towards reaching your goals.

Cigar between her lips

The cigar between her lips When her fingers with red nails, Places a cigarette between her lips, Why is she shameless and a bitch? When a man smokes, Cigar after cigar,  it's a just a boys thing! Then what stops the same to be a girl's thing? Why do you judge the cigarette between her lips? From the organ between her legs. She breathes the same air, And speaks the same words, And remember, She and he are just  genders. #judge a woman like you judge a man

TEENAGE-SPIRITUALITY

TEENAGE-SPIRITUALITY Would you call me crazy? If I’d say many teenagers or probably most of them are spiritual. No! I’m not talking about enlightenment or teen-yogis, but a very different kind of spirituality. Spirituality isn’t the fanciest among teenagers and the two words of my title Teenage and Spirituality is less found together and more often found away from each other. Typically, for one to find flavor in spirituality he/she must be aged, retired, or have a life-threatening issue with spirituality being the last place of help. This may be the common thought in the air but isn’t always the truth, people of all kinds, all ages, and even problem-free adopt spirituality. Simply because spirituality comes to find you. When the world believes spirituality is connecting to a higher self or finding peace within, the young adults define spirituality in their very own way. Pop music and its funky beats seem to be their mantra of peace. They journey along the groves and rhythm to...

The Covid-19 Playlist

The Covid-19 Playlist If you’d turn all that’s happening around you into a playlist, what would be on repeat? With no surprise its “corona”. My playlist was ruined, and I’m sure your playlist was too. The pandemic is truly a killer but what could be more painful, corona as a disease or the mouths that won’t stop talking about it?    Being locked in our homes we find freedom through the internet, but Corona isn’t just spreading across us humans but also has captured the internet. Like a song that goes viral, first, it takes over the internet, then slips into the TV and finally, the popular song is a frequently heard caller-tune. Tipping into the 6th month of 2020 we still are flushed out of our normal lives, with the Covid-19 pandemic bossing us and the digital world. Over 90% of the data around us has transformed into something related to Corona. By the time you read the end of this sentence, I’m sure the word “coronavirus” would have made its way for the billionth t...
