A Happy Life Is A Life Without Four Dreadful Things


Firstly, I eat vegetarian food. I don't like certain things. They are tomatoes, onions, garlic and capsicums. Tomatoes tastes bland and it looks like meat, for me. Onions smell dreadful. I don't like garlic since they have very strong smell. If onions smell dreadful 250 times, garlic smells 2500 times more dreadful. I don't eat these at home or outside. My mother does not prepare food that contains tomatoes, onion, garlic and capsicum. She also says that she grew up in a family where people never used to buy garlic. 

Now, I will share with you a variety of vegetables that I like in my food.

What Brings Smile On My Face?

Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna brings smile on my face. His pastimes bring sparkle in my eyes. I recently watched a video episode from Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Mahabharat. When I read stories or watch videos about Lord Krishna's pastimes, I become like a happy elephant who entered into a forest which is filled with fresh juicy sugar canes. Krishna makes Shakuni get into trouble often. And, Shakuni is a used up battery. He always makes machines work improperly. 

During the Kurukshetra war, the day arrived when Karna breathed his last. The Kauravas sensed that almost all the legs in their chair were broken. Shakuni had to naturally come up yet again with another conspiracy. So, he approached Krishna and invited him to play dice with him. Shakuni said, "Vasudeva Krishna, if I loose in this game, then consider Duryodhana looses. If you loose in this game, then consider Yudhistra looses and he has to surrender to Duryodhana". After hearing this, the smart Krishna said, "Mamaji, I have a different rule and condition for this game. How about this? If I loose, I will do Agni Snana (get into fire), if you loose, why don't you do the Agni Snana?" The next moment, Shakuni got scared like a chicken in the cage. This is how Krishna plays tricks and pushes Shakuni into a deep ocean of fear. 

Shakuni is a cunning fox who gives soup to Krishna in a shallow bowl. But every time Shakuni thinks he is too smart, Lord Krishna knows how to offer back a very tasty soup for him,

in a jar with a long narrow neck. 

Keep Smiling

Why Do I Like To Acquire Knowledge?

In the past, I had a desire behind wanting to study and learn. I like to learn a lot. I keep learning all the time. But there was a desire, there was an attachment. And that desire was to be the smartest. To be the smartest of all. But that desire made me cry all the time. I was anxious and scared. Wanting to be the smartest came in to my mind because I used to go out and meet other children a lot, in the past. Nowadays, I spend my time being at home and studying at peace.
