There was a content on think positive be happy on 27th number.
There a cook called Girija who came from a poor family.She never spoke about her personal life, she was always careful and neatly rest in a cotton saree and war flowers in her well combed hair. She looks smart and contented. While working in the kitchen she would Hum song and comply to our request with a smile. The only thing the family members new about her was that her husband had abandoned her and their son. With very little formal education the opportunities in a small town where limited so she opted to be a cook. Vasant, a family friend of that house, was an executive with a multinational company and he used to visit them often. He was always complaining about something or the other and the after each visit of his the world atmosphere would become gloomy. My son is not studying well in his 12th class he complained. They new that his son was a very bright and hard working boy why was his father complining about him?
I want my son to get into IIT he said. In today's competitive world there are legs of children trying to get admission into one of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology. If a child losses even 5 marks in the entrance examination because of stress his rank comes down considerably. They can tell our children to study hard but we should not put a pressure on them to get ranks head of others. Then extra time a Vasant visited them he was unhappy for a different reason. I purchased a plot about 5 years ago no that I vended to sell it the prices drasticically lower he grambled. This was a country wide phenomenon.The housing market was a going through a recession and all those who had a invested in it had lost money. There was so many complaints and worries from Vasanth. When Girija and the author alone at home, she asked casually,'tell me girija, where is your husband? Do you meet him'
She looked at me in Silence and said,' he is with the another woman and works for your neighbour as a driver '
The Other was taken Aback.she saw her husband everyday and that too with another woman.
'Are you not mad at him?' I asked
her ' initially I used to be ' but now,I think I am lucky because I have only one child it to support.
My son is bright and obedient. Because his father deserted user my son is a more concerned about me. If I was all alone or if I had a many children or if my child was a responsible then I would have had serious problems. God has been kind enough to me that I don't have any such problems. She said she was not worried she said:- your mother has given as a quarter to stay. I work sincerely. All of you are happy. If I need anything I can always ask you people. For that matter demands are never ending. When my son grie was supper he will not be like his father because he has seen me suffer. This content taught me a good lesson. I was really melted to the word of the Girija. This book is a wonder. I like the stories and the other who written this.
