Some days ago, I read on WhatsApp about female scorpion, that  she gives birth to 6- 7 baby scorpions at one time. After birth, when these babies become hungry and as their mother has nothing to give them, the baby scorpions start to bite and eat their mother. And that mother allows them and to feed her babies,she accepts her death. What an extreme type of mother's love!What an example of mother's sacrifice for her babies! At the same time, I remembered that I have heard about a cat that she also gives birth to 3- 4 kittens at a time. And after giving birth to her kittens, that mother cat eats a kitten. It is said that it is necessary for her health. It is the only medicine and tonic for that mother cat. So the cat feels nothing odd for her such behaviour. Both these animals behave according to their natural instincts. The mother monkey's example is again different. We all know the story of a mother monkey, that she tried to save her baby from sinking in the water, but wh...

Now, there is summer. So, naturally, there is shortage of water. Municipal corporation is supplying water after two day’s gap. So,at the time of water supply, there is rush on public tap. Many times there are quarrels, which sometimes turn into fighting. In summer, in every city, town and village, this picture is common. But whenever I see such quarrel, I remember a real incident. In a summer, we all family members were out of station. So there was lock to our house. On our terrace, there was a lotus plant in a big  pot. In that pot, there was much water. On that day, a group of six monkeys came on our terrace by jumping from one terrace to another. They were thirsty. They saw the water in that lotus pot. They drank that water. But to drink that water , they made pairs and at a time only two monkeys drank water and others waited silently for their turn. And they all drank the water in a way that not a single monkey even touched or harmed the lotus plant.  Though we weren't a...

Two days ago,I met our one relative. She is 85 years old lady. I have been looking her since 40 years. Till her age of 80 year, she was very active lady, doing her all duties in family, as well as in society. She, regularly exercised for an hour every day. She put in to practice all tips for health. So overall, she was very fit person and ideal person in society. But now, because of age factor, she is unable to stand, to walk and she suffers from gasping. Now she is very weak. So really it is very painful to see her present condition. The more painful thing is that she herself is aware about her past and present condition.             I know another old lady. She has crossed her 90 years age. For the whole life, she was a lady of calm and quiet nature and always taking precautions that there should be no nuisance to others because of her. But now, because of age factor,she has lost her control on her brain. So, now, for every m...

Near my house, there is a temple. There are 5-6 stairs to the temple. Some days ago, I saw an insane lady, clapping and jumping on the stairs of the temple. I know that lady from 8 years. She had a son suffering from polio and other diseases. From eight years, that lady was carrying the son every day in the temple and praying the God to cure him. At the same time, medical treatment was also going on. Yet , before a month, that son died and that lady lost her control on her brain. Now she forgot everything about her son, and was behaving like a child. When I saw her clapping and jumping and enjoying like an innocent child,for a moment, I was glad for her. Because, in those eight years, for first time, she was without tension. I had seen her intense struggle to cure her son. So now looking her so relax was giving me good feel. I know that such life of insane, isn't better for her. Now she and her family will have to face many other problems because of her insanity. But in this stag...
