Children loved visiting Gandhi. A little boy who was there one day, was greatly distressed to see the way Gandhiji was dressed. Such a great man yet he doesn't even wear a shirt, he wondered.
"Why don't you wear a kurta, Gandhi?" the little boy couldn't help asking finally.
"Where's the money, son?" Gandhi asked gently. "I am very poor. I can't afford a kurta."
The boy's heart was filled with pity.
"My mother sews well", he said. "She makes all my clothes. I'll ask her to sew a Kurta for you."
"How many Kurtas can your mother make?" Gandhiji asked.
"How many do you need?" asked the boy. "One, two, three.... she'll make as many as you want."
Gandhi thought for a moment. Then he said, "But I am not alone, son. It wouldn't be right for me to be the only one to wear a kurta."
"How many Kurtas do you need?" the boy persisted. "I'll ask my mother to make as many as you want. Just tell me how many you need."
"I have a very large family, son. I have forty crore brothers and sisters," Gandhiji explained.
"Till every one of them has a kurta, how can I wear one? Tell me, can your mother make kurtas for all of them?
At this question the boy became very thoughtful. Forty crore brothers and sisters! Gandhiji was right.
Till every one of them had a kurta to wear how could he wear one himself? After all the whole nation was Gandhi's family, and he was the head of that family. He was their friend, their companion. What use would one kurta be to him?

SEE THE PLIGHT OF BIRDS BIRDS DUE TO OUR KITE FLYING.....

25/12/2012

Kite fighting may be a nonviolent sport, but it was deadly to 18,000 birds and injured 4000 more at the Makar Sankranti kite flying festival in India on January 14,2011 , according to The Hindu. Kite fighting involves deliberately tangling two kites in order to sever their strings; the kite that stays intact is the victor. To sever an opponent's string, the kites use manja, a special string coated with ground glass shards.

When that string, either from the losing kites or surplus string, is allowed to remain in trees and bushes or on terraces, it becomes hazardous to birds that become tangled in it. The glass coating can cut birds' legs, wings and throats as they struggle to get free. Even non-coated string can be deadly if birds become entangled.

Kite flyers, whether they enjoy kites for fun or sport, are urged to meticulously collect all discarded string to prevent this deadly hazard.

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer God’s Heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.
