Proud Tansen became humble

                                 Proud Tansen became humble

Tansen was the vocalist of King Akbar's court. He was very famous for his voice and the songs he sings. It was believed that he could light a lamp by just singing " deepak " raga of hindustani music. Everyone was praising his ability. This made him little proud.

Once a rich man had invited him to his house for an orchestra. Tansen went and gave the orchestra. After finishing the orchestra, rich man had offered him 500 gold coins.

But on top of gold coins he had placed a small black stone , which was not at all matching with gold coins. Tansen was furious by seeing this.

He felt insulted. Everyone were laughing. Tansen finally asked the rich man to explain the incident. Rich man said " I know you are a royal vocalist. Hence I offered you 500 gold coins for accepting my invitation. Black stone is for your singing !".

Tansen thought rich man must be joking. He challenged the rich man to show another man who can sing better than him. Rich man said he, himself can sing!

He started singing. It was so good that Tansen himself accepted the defeat and returned the gold coins to rich man.

Tansen learnt a lesson not to be proud of his talent.

What is helicopter sibling / parenting ?

The term helicopter sibling or helicopter parenting is a widely used word nowadays.

Helicopter parents are the parents who are paying too much attention to their children's problems .

Helicopter siblings are the sisters/brothers who are over protective about their siblings in schools or in other places.

The term came in use since they ( either parents or siblings )  hover overhead always like a helicopter.

Modern day parents are too conservative about their children . If elder child thinks his / her's sibling is not cared enough by parents , he / she may turn into a helicopter sibling. 

My speciality

I always think myself as a " special girl " . Even neurologist and physiotherapist agree with me.

Reason ?

? ? ?

I walk with 4 legs !

Don't  think me as an alien . I have 2 of my own legs and the remaining 2 are my crutches .

Walking with crutches consists of a simple science.

It is the science of equilibrium !

Whenever I want to walk  holding crutches , these are the basic steps ----

1 . Left crutch , right foot forward
2 . Right crutch , left foot forward

Now the question arises , what if we miss the steps ? I mean to say what happens if we keep left crutch and left foot forward?

It will not do any difference until we can stand on our legs. But if the leg is injured  or weak , then missing the steps can result in a fall .

 This special knowledge was came into my mind when I was staring at the wall . ( Usually I do ).
