"The Crying Lady."

Once Upon a time their was an old lady who cried all the time. Her elder daughter was married to a noodle vendor while her younger daughter was wife of an umbrella merchant. On Sunny day's she worried for her younger daughter "Oh No, the weather is so nice and sunny, no one will buy any umbrella's! What will happen if the shop is closed ?". These worries mad her sad and she couldn't help herself and cried. When it used to rain she used to cry for her elder daughter "Oh no, My elder daughter is married to noodle vendor and without sun noodles cannot be dried and their will be no noodles to sell. What will she do?" As a result the old lady used be in sorrow everyday and out of grief used to cry all along. Her Neighbour's couldn't console her and jokingly called her "The Crying Lady". 

One day she met a monk. The monk was very curious to know the reason for her sorrow. The Old lady sluggishly and in a very dull tone explained her the problem. The monk listened her problem with very keen. After her explaination the monk smiled kindly and said "Oh Lady, your problem has a very simple solution without any arduious effort's." The Old lady lifted her head up with hope in her eye's. 

The Monk said "Madam, You need not worry, I will guide you through the path of happiness. And there after you need not grieve anymore. On the sunny don't think of your younger daughter not able to sell her umbrella but of elder daughter of selling her Noodles. And on rainy days think of your younger daughter being able to sell Umbrella's bringing prosperity." The Old Lady got the light in the monk word's. She started to do as the monk advised. Soon it turned out that the Old Lady started to be jovial an happy everday with a bright smile on her nice. The Neighbour's too acknowledged this and started calling her "The Smiling Lady".
 
In reality nothing changed except her perspective. In life it happens everytime when we encounter crisis, challenges and difficulties. We start getting inclined  towards the negative side wandering all the consequences which hampers our vision's and be an hindrance to a happy life. We should start finding the opportunites and emphsises on the learning.

Changing our perspectives enable us to see the clear vision of opportunity which lays its path to prosperity and a happy life.

"In the midst o Crisis their lies an great opportunity" - Albert Einstien.

"In Chinese word, Crisis has two characteristics one stands for danger and another for opportunity"   - John F Kennedy.   

I hope you take a leaf from the monk words and walk forwards in this journey of life.

One More Black Day

Today I have learned about an incident that took place in Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, India. An innocent girl who was just to explore this world and started seeing dreams, like we all do in our 20's is no more with us. When she was to dream her life and make a wish list about what she would like to buy, like all the girls, have in her 20's she met some Inhumans which tarnished her life to death. They tortured her, made her soul cry, and broke her backbone. Her father who was wishing like all fathers would do that one day she will make him proud. But who knew that man wouldn't even get a chance to give last rites to her daughter.  I can't take the pain from her but just can give her pain a few words. A game of lust they played, ruining her night's and day's today she is no more with us was she a sinner? for which she paid? humanity's tower was shaken from inside! hearing to this heinous crime. Her soul was in agony and pain, when they were looting her insane. T...

Feeding a Hungry World: Why We’re Falling Behind and What It Means for Our Future

Imagine waking up each morning with a gnawing pain in your stomach. Not just the mild hunger we all know, but a deep, empty ache. Imagine that feeling isn’t relieved by breakfast or lunch. Imagine it’s there all day. Now, imagine it’s there for your child, your brother, your mother—every single day. This is reality for millions around the world. It’s a silent crisis unfolding in plain sight. And despite the technological and agricultural advancements of the 21st century, the situation is getting worse. Global hunger is on the rise again. We had once been on the path to eliminating it, but something changed. So how did we get here? Why, with all our resources and knowledge, are more people hungry now than just a few years ago? And, more importantly, what are we going to do about it? A Setback in the Fight Against Hunger In 2015, the world seemed to be making steady progress. Hunger levels had been declining for years. It felt like we were on the brink of achieving what seemed impossible...

The Null Pointer Nightmare: How a Simple Mistake Can Halt The World

A global IT outage, described as “the largest IT outage in history” by Microsoft Regional Director Troy Hunt, occurred on July 19, 2024, affecting millions of Windows-based systems worldwide. Imagine you’re driving on a highway, and suddenly, your GPS starts pointing to a nonexistent road. You keep driving, and before you know it, you're in a ditch because there was no road where your GPS pointed. Something similar happened with a recent CrowdStrike outage, but instead of a car, it involved lines of code, and instead of a ditch, it resulted in a system crash also called Blue screen of Death (BSOD). Let’s dive into what happened, why it happened, and how we can avoid such nightmares in the future. The Culprit: A Null Pointer In the world of programming, a "pointer" is like a GPS for data. It points to a specific location in the computer’s memory where information is stored. In this case, a CrowdStrike developer wrote a piece of code that created a pointer. This pointer was...
