How did Birbal identified the real king ?

 Once Birbal was assigned the job of going to neighbouring kingdom as an ambassador . Birbal never had been to that kingdom earlier nor he had met with the king of that kingdom .

The king of neighbouring kingdom had heard many stories of wisdom of Birbal and how Birbal manages to find a solution for each and every problem

King wanted to test Birbal . He asked all his ministers to dress up like him . The challenge for Birbal is to find out who is the real king amongst them .

Birbal was unaware of all these . He entered the court . He was surprised by watching all the persons present in the court room to be dressed as king .

He watched everyone closely . Finally went near a person and greeted him as the king . That person himself was the original king !!

The king was very curious to know how Birbal had managed to identify him ?

Birbal explained , " Only your face was beaming with confidence which is the unique character of a king . Leaving that behind , other men were looking at your face for further instructions and that made my inspection easy ! 

Neighbour king was speechless after hearing the inspection story of Birbal .

You are slave of my slaves !!

We know about Alexander , the great . He was very ambitious . He wanted to win whole world and be the invincible man .

Likewise he started from his place , Greece . He went on winning the countries in the eastern direction . Finally he came to India .


Alexander had learnt about sages of India . He believed that they have special powers . He wants to take one sage along with him to his country .


As soon as he entered ancient India , he came to know that in the neighbourhood there lives a sage . Alexander instructed a soldier to bring the sage to his court .


Soldier went near the sage and informed him that Alexander  , the great wants him to come to court . But the sage refused to do so .

Soldier returned to court and informed Alexander about the same . Alexander got angry by the indecency of sage and went near him with all of his force .


Alexander entered the hut of the sage . Sage had noticed the arrival of Alexander with all of his force . But he didn't move .


Alexander got furious at sage . He held his sword pointing to sage and asked the sage does he  know who is Alexander , the great ?


Sage replied with smile , " YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF MY SLAVES " . 

Alexander didn't know what to say . But now he has little calmed down and asked the sage to explain his saying . Then sage replied " I have gained control over my feelings . Hence they are my slaves . But you didn't conquer them . You easily get captured by them . That's why you are the slave of my slaves . "

Cyclone Tauktae leaves ....

 Cyclone Tauktae after doing lot of damage in coastal areas of our state finally left in the direction of Maharashtra and Gujarat States. It is expected to do landfall in Gujarat .

That means all this time , it was roaming over Arabian sea . But the cyclonic clouds has covered the sky of our area completely since 2 days .

Since 2 days , it was almost total darkness in our area . Whatever people say about the damage caused by cyclone , I am thankful to cyclone Tauktae .

It is the middle of the month of May . Only the people live in coastal areas know the heat of scorching sun along with humidity . Result is unbearable sweating .

Now since 2 days , climate of our place has suddenly changed . Now it is very cool outside . 

Our place has become ANOTHER OOTY !!!       all thanks to the cyclone .

Why we don't use copper vessels for cooking ?

 In ancient India , people were using copper utensils for cooking . But nowadays we don't use . Why ?

There is an interesting story behind this . During last century , Indians were using copper utensils for cooking . Children who had food often fell ill . Nobody came to know about the cause .

Finally we discovered that this illness was due to consumption of copper . The copper particles found in more than usual amount getting accumulated in liver .

What actually happened was Indian mothers used to heat the milk in copper utensils . When milk was boiled for the first time , small amount of copper got mixed with milk .

All Indian mothers have the habit of using the same milk which was bought from the shop in the morning through out the day . So in the above said case also , milk was heated again and again and was given to children for drinking .

Though small amount of copper got mixed with milk whenever milk was heated , these copper particles started to get accumulated in human liver .

It is bad to have anything in excess . The accumulated copper in liver was the cause of illness children were facing . But it was not the food poisoning .

That's why nowadays we don't use copper vessels for cooking .

Anjanaparvan , grandson of Bhima

Anjanaparvan was the grandson of Bhima and his asura wife Hidimbi . Meaning he is the son of Ghatotkach .


As he is an asura , meaning demon by birth , Anjanaparvan was very good at performing war with the help of illusions .


He came to the Kurukshetra battle ground when it was almost sunset . He was confronted with Ashwatthama who was heading the Kourava army .


At first , he threw a mace towards Ashwatthama . By illusion  , it became 1000 maces when it reached Ashwatthama . But Ashwatthama was able to escape that one .


Then Ashwattama aimed at Anjanaparvan's chest and threw some arrows . But they didn't pierce his chest . Anjanapurvan's chest was very hard that no weapon could piece it .


Finally , Ashwatthama beheaded him .

The 3 curses that resulted in Karna's death in battle ground

Karna , a tragic hero of Mahabharata , was a self made person . Though he is the son of Kunti , he was not awarded the prestige he was worth of .


Here are the 3 curses that Karna got and they went against him in the Kurukshetra war thus responsible for his death .


1. Curse of mother Earth

Once Karna had tried to help a small girl who has split the ghee on ground . She was crying fearing that her mother will scold her . That time , Karna tried to help the girl by trying to retrieve the lost ghee from squeezing and twisting the ground . The pain originated because of this twisting was unbearable and mother Earth cursed Karna for this act .


She cursed him saying that in an important situation like battle , she will not assist him . As a result , in kurukshetra war , the wheel of chariot of Karna got stuck in the mud . His efforts to free the wheel went in vain .

2 . Curse of the teacher

Karna was the student of Parashurama . When joining the ashram ,Karna lied to his teacher saying that he is a brahmin . Actually he is a kshatriya . Parashuram came to know of this and he cursed Karna that whatever he has learned from him , will not come to his help when he needs it the most .



3 . Curse of an oldman


Once Karna had shot and killed a cow mistaking it as a wild animal . The caretaker of the animal , an oldman ,  cursed Karna in grief saying that he will be killed by his enemy when his attention was diverted .


Same way , Karna got killed by his enemy Arjuna when all of his attention was at lifting the wheel of the chariot which got stuck in mud . He could not remember how to use the weapons at that time . 

Everyone is fond of giving free advice .......

There was a famous painter living in Italy . His drawings were very famous . He was appreciated for his drawings throughout the world .



One day he had drawn a new drawing . He asked his colleagues to pinpoint the mistakes , if there are any , to him .



Everyone who saw the painting were of the opinion that it is the master piece . How can there would be a mistake in a famous painter's work ?



But the painter didn't agree . He put the painting in the exhibition with a small note saying that  if the onlooker find any mistake , they are free to mark the mistake in the painting itself !



As soon as he gave this message to the public , everyone turned masters of drawing . Now everyone started to see one or the other mistakes in the painting !!


That time the painter realised that everyone is good at giving free advice on others work .
