Rebirth of MAGNUM OPUS

'The story of a pencil'- Very profound unlike its caption.Thought why should'nt i give the same atricle to start my blog as well,and here it is for you to njoyyyyyyyyy...

A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter , at one point he asked:'Are you writing a story about what we've done or is it a story about me?'His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson:'I am writing about you actually,but more important than the words is the pencil am using.I hope you'll be like this pencil when you grow up'.Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil . It did not seem very special.'But its just like any other pencil that i've ever seen!'That depends on how you look at things.It has five qualities which , if you manage to hang on to them , will make you a person who is always at peace with the world.

'First quality: You are capable of great things,but you must never forget that theres a hand guiding your steps.We call that hand 'GOD' and he alwayz guides us according to his will.

Second Quality: Now and then, i've to stop writing and use a sharpener.That makes the pencil suffer a little but afterwards , he's much sharper.So you too, must learn to bear certain pains and sorrows, because they'll make you a better person.

ThirdQuality: The pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did, is not necessarily a bad thing;It helps to keep us on the road to justice.

Fourth quality: What really matters for the pencil is not its wooden exterior but its graphite inside.So always pay attention to what is happening inside you.

Finally, the pencils fifth quality:It always leave a mark. In just the same way, you should know that every thing you do in life will leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action.

Now one might wonder thinking that this is a stale bread,very profound, boring may be for some,but what we forget here is that we'd been a pencil at every stage of our life sometimes by choice ,sometimes by accident but certainly not consciously - well this article which i flicked from paulo coelho's short stories is based on my inclination to sharpen oneself ,consciously so that we dont forget to leave a mark in every action we do....thought i would leave a mark about this in your minds too ..--- Cheers Sindhuathreya.
