Story- Greed Plays An Important Part?


“There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.” 

- Mahatma Gandhi.



It is quite sad and strange but is a reality too; people kill tigers, without realizing the consequences they’ll face. They definitely know the fact that, if they take a life of the tigers, they will straight away be behind bars for a lifetime as killing a tiger is banned. Yet, they tend to do so. Why, why are they performing such an act? What’s the reason behind it?

Poaching is one of the most immediate threats to wild tigers. Tigers are illegally killed or poached because their pelts are valuable in the black market.

They are killed for their meat too. The demand for tiger skins and tiger bone wine is booming as wealthy businessmen buy these goods to prove their wealth.

A man named Karan lived a life of peace and made a decent living. He lived in the capital city of India- New Delhi. He was wealthy and father of two cute children. However, desire to earn more turned him towards poaching and he joined a sophisticated and well-armed criminal gang.

Karan used various techniques to trap tigers, he used steel traps, poisoned carcasses of a tiger's prey to murder it and in the hot season, he used to dig shallow pools and fill them with poisoned water.

However, the sad part is, even the forest department members gave him a hand to perform this. How could they do this? They definitely knew the fact, that there are chances of these species getting extinct. Yet, he supported him. 

Karan gave the forest department, a huge sum of money. Greed and money meant everything even more than their precious life.

Karan not only sold parts of tigers but, also designed clothes out of its fur. He knew that, Tibetans wear clothes of the tiger’s skin. Was he successful in it? Thankfully not as His Holiness - Dalai Lama issued a decree against it.

How long can he do this? Surely, if someone is committing offense he will be punished. It’s about how early you get it. He continued his business for several years, but nobody knew about his business. His neighbors were also clueless regarding it.

Once, there was a wedding in his colony and his aunts and uncles came to his home to invite him. As soon as they stepped in, all they could notice was tiger related things, be it fur, bones, body parts and lot more! They were shocked at realizing this. Soon, they rushed towards the nearby police station and registered a case.

 Karan was put behind bars. All the business he did so far was in vain. He had a huge amount of loss and most importantly, lost his good impression. He fell in the eyes of his children.

Out of this, he certainly realized, greed leads to self- destruction. Do hard work, be determined, dedicated and satisfied with honest earning.

Have to be ODD to be ‘THE NUMBER ONE!’

Have to be ODD to be ‘THE NUMBER ONE!’ Think Outside the Box… I’ve always known that I was different ever since I was a child. I couldn’t help but to effortlessly be the odd one out. Growing up, this made me upset. I wanted to be cool and fit in like the other kids. But as I grew older, I realized how much I love being different. I embrace my individuality now! I love it and it’s what makes me, well, me! The invention of the wheel was a miraculous invention, along with the airplane, and the telephone. All the inventions that have ever been created weren't just something that was already drawn out on a piece of paper for the inventors. They had to think. They had to imagine the masterpiece before it was even a physical object. These people weren't just thinkers or inventors. These people "Thought Outside the Box." Many people who try to invent something are not successful because they are afraid to break the confines of the outline. What I mean by this is that th...

Tasting Indiscipline

Tasting Indiscipline “Health is like money; we never have a true idea of its value until we lose it.” ~ Josh Billings We all have those cravings or thoughts that go regularly in our mind of junk food, we talk to ourselves at several occasions that, ‘Yeh Khaliya Toh Kya Hoga? I’m toh just having a bite and for a change na, nothing will happen. And eventually, I feel this is where the problem originates from. The urge of trying what is not suitable for our health but our tongues’ favorite, what to do? I totally understand this game being a teenager. I’m aware that often taste buds in our tongue overpower our brain and eventually we have a bite of it and oh boy, it is all over with a satisfaction which comes after a great job is done well. We often have a smile after consuming it. I am sure you can relate to it. Where to stop, when to have that kind of self- discipline, saying, now I have had my share (maybe more than my share) and now I’ve to stop otherwise it will be troubleso...

Enjoy the Beats of Music! Embrace the Fun! @21 st June 2020- Fête de la Musique ! ( World Music Day!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-27Fkcn6jI   Have you ever put on your headphones, hit play on an upbeat tune, and waltzed down the street as if you were in a movie? You’re not alone, everybody has done it (they’re just too afraid to admit it!). Music has the ability to lift your spirits even when you don’t feel like getting out of bed that day. Why shouldn’t there be an entire day to celebrate the wonders of music? World Music Day needs to be celebrated far and wide without a doubt! Who doesn’t like the beats of music? Who doesn’t like to listen to soulful music at times and when no one is around, the best companion with us is music right? Music truly is a way to get people along! Music for me touches hearts of people and brings out the true emotions within them! Sometimes, I do feel that music is a great reflection for us to self- reflect and self- realize ourse...
