Hello my dear friends,

Hope all well and safe in there respective places.I want to share a small story.

This story remains my favorite of all times

It has helped me umpteen times in my life and has helped shape my credo in this journey called Life

Potatoes, Eggs, and Coffee Beans

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot.

He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing.

After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl.

He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”

“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily replied.

Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

“Father, what does this mean?” she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the boiling water.

However, each one reacted differently.

The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.

The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.

However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “

Moral:In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.

Which one are you?

With Covid-19 caseS increasing . People think if they are infected once they are precluded from getting again. It is not proven yet but possibly he or she can get infected again. Just like flu even though u get vaccinated. You can still get flu with a different strain where them symptoms can be mild. I have seen People getting flu second time around with in 2 to 3 weeks. Since covid is also a virus You are not immune to it ( not Proven) possibility you can be infected.

Take care everyone. My love to you all and stay safe.

I am a traveller in this Universe,

I want to know the depth of the sea and width of the sky,

Be the fish in deep sea and a colorful kite in the clouds,

I am a traveller in the universe,

I wish to be a Butterfly hoping from one flower to another,

Colorful flowers mesmerize me and i forget myself ,

I am a traveller in this Universe

Dew drops on the flowers remind me,

Me getting drenched in the rain,

I am a traveller in the Universe,

I visualize i am healed and walking through the streets of ………

I am a traveller in the Universe,

I am healthy and enjoy every minute that is given by God to enjoy this life,

I am a traveller in the Universe,

I qd and he will take care of everything!

I am traveller in the Universe,

I will love myself and take care of my family

I am a traveller in the Universe ,

I will motivate myself and be positive,
