FuFaji Lalit Vashishta | | WET PANTS STORY...
Come with me to a third grade classroom....
There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet.
He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it.
And more importantly, when the girls find out,they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop, he puts his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered. As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water.
Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out.
All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.
The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie. She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. "You've done enough, you klutz!"
Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."
May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.
Going to church, temple or a Mosque doesn't make you a Hindu, Christian or a Muslim any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
A good reminder to all of us, not to lose direction, and continue to do our share of good deeds in the world, and it will become a better place to live in.
Lage Raho

Basab Ghosh | | Now when I see a girl with a glodfish bowl in her hand, I'll know it's you Anisha! :)
Someone said self love here. Now self love would have prevented Suzie from tipping the goldfish bowl. Ponder on it.
We spend too much time on self love and being Hindus, Muslims, Christians etc. etc. and don't spend enough time on being a human being. One would expect that we would be breaking barriers and boundaries set by the less enlightened past generations. Unfortunately, we seem to be drawing tighter and more exclusive boundaries around ourselves!Private Reply to Basab Ghosh |

Vibha Shah | | basabda- self love in the healthy sense..doesnt draw boundaries..of caste,creed,nationality..u have misunderstood me..a healthy self love reaches out to people and erases boundaries..think abt it.If u can love yrself..u can love others more wholelly
in this story..self love wudnt have given suzie a chance to do her act of kindness..but self love wud have given the poor lil boy the courage not to feel embarased abt the situation..self love frees u a great deal... Private Reply to Vibha Shah |

FuFaji Lalit Vashishta | | I will add that it was after going through an experience which was emabrrassing, Suzie did not want her friend to pass through the same, where in the story we see
"Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."
Learning from ones mistakes and also trying to help others not to make the same, is what sharing your experiences is all about.
I have learnt a lot from sharing on this very board and have many friends, confidantes, mentors who have guided me and helped me whenever I have made mistakes. Thankyou all.
Never Mind.....
