A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train's window shouted: "Dad, look the trees are going behind!" Dad smiled & a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old's childish behaviour with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed: "Dad, look the clouds are running with us!" The couple couldn't resist & said to the old man:
"Why don't you take your son to a good doctor?" The old man smiled & said: "I did & we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today."

hI JAI,
I am reminded of one incident that happened while I was working in a bank. One Monday a colleague of mine by name Mr. Acharya had come earlier and was working in his desk On that he was head-shaven. A lady staff came and saw Mr Acharya working in a desk next to her. She noticed that his head was shaven and in jocular way, she shouted at him, "Hi, Acharya, hi,hi, your head is shaven, Had been to Tirupathi?" Acharya did not expect this but in his characteristic style cooly said, "No, Madam, My father expired on Saturday night. That's the reason why I am like this" That lady never expected this, but immediately approached him and said "Sorry, Sorry, many times!!" very apologetically.
From that day I also learnt a lesson that we should be careful in our communication and should not judge people by mere appearance.

Dear Jai,
Your story of fact took me to 18 years back when I doubted my younger brother, who was then 15 year old, obedient and silent in his behaviour, for taking a note of Rs 500/- which I could not find in my wallet. My brother's extra expenditure of buying small things of his likes etc. and some other false circumstantial evidences, and his utter silence made my mind along with other members to become judgmental that he had misappropriated the money. I reprimanded him verbally but he did not speak a single word in his favour. Later on when everything was calm & cool, I found the the Rs. 500/- note somewhere in my suitcase which I only had kept and forgotten. One con just imagine what would my condition at that time. My brother never lost his respect for me. But this incident taught me a lesson for whole of my life - I am no one to judge. We learn from our mistakes and proceed ahead. I respect the reminder from Shri Subramanayam that we must be careful in our communication. A word spoken can not be taken back.
Thank you for your post for revitalizing the values of life.

This is story every HR should remember - there is always another side to all the stories. Do not make a decision without hearing the otherside. AVS Thanks.

One should not comment on any one unless he knows the person. Even otherwise no one has any right to pass remarks on an unknown person. It reminds me of a journey where father and son were talking as if they are unknown to each other. A co-passenger intervened in the talks where father and son disclosed their identity and said we were just talking to pass the time.

Hi Sanjeev,
I think if your younger brother had retorted you, the impact of his silecne would not have been felt by you. That he was silent and did not react to your complaint, made you realise later on that you should not have spoken harshly to him without verifying the facts! That is why they say, 'Silence is Golden'. To create an impact on others it is better to keep our mouth shut. When people realise that they feel the gravity of their uttrances unable to bear!
I have learnt to be silent like your brother!
