First after exam

Well I have just finished with my exams now have to study for the next one in May. So decided to take a break and put up a few things over here starting with a story I just heard from Bawa (well not directly but on TV, check out ETV Marathi on Saturday morning at 9:30 Yuva Bharat. Don't worry the programs in English). Well here it is then.

Jai Gurudeva!

A grandfather used to make his grandson read the Bhagwat Gita every single day. The boy understood neither head nor tail of it, yet his grandfather forced him to read it every day. One day the boy got frustrated and told his grandfather " I won't read any further until you tell me why I should read this.". The grandfather said Ok I will tell you. He took a bucket of coal, emptied it and told the boy to fetch water in it. Now this bucket had holes in it and by the time the boy got back from the nearby river, the water was nearly gone. The grandfather said " This much water is not enough, fetch more." So again the boy went and returned with similar results. Again the grandfather sent him to fetch water and this kept repeating 5 to 6 times until the boy got tired and said he had enough again he asked " Whats the point in all this? The bucket has holes, it can never carry more water than this." At this point the Grandfather pointed at the bucket and said " Despite what you say,the bucket is now clean even though it was filled with coal before."

The End.
