THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
99 Cups milk and one cup water 



Once a Sanyasi was taking class to his sishyas in his ashram. He was explaining about friendship. He said, “IF A GOOD PERSON MINGLES WITH A GROUP OF BAD PERSONS, SOON HE WILL ALSO BECOME A BAD PERSON. 

HOWEVER, IF A BAD PERSON JOINS A GROUP OF GOOD PERSONS, SOON HE WILL ALSO BECOME A GOOD PERSON. SUCH IS THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP, HENCE, WE SHOULD ALWAYS BEEN IN THE GROUP OF GOOD PERSONS.”

Immediately a sishiya stood up and asked, “Guru, why dont a good person join a group of bad persons and try to correct them?”

 In order to prove his point, the Sanyasi asked a person to bring a pot and a small cup.

“This pot will get full only if your pour 100 cups of water inside it. Assume that we pour 99 cups of milk inside it and one cup of water. Now I want you to answer my question – What happens to the one cup of water poured inside the pot?”

 For this the sishya answered, “That one cup of water also turned into milk, Guru”. The Sanyashi agreed and continued, “Yes you are right. But suppose you do vice versa i.e. you pour 99 cups of water and one cup of milk inside, then what will happen?”

 For this the sishya said, “The milk will also turn into water.”

“Yes, you are again right and I hope it clears your doubt.

So now you would have understood the power of friendship. He insisted that we should always mingle with good people.

My Chennai working Experience and other working experiences -2005

 My working experiences  Part [1] -   Teaching in a Village School (Near Uthamasolapuram) A few years ago, I happen to work as a Senior Teacher in a village school in Salem. It was an unique experience for me in life. The school management had in fact cheated me. But I digested that injustice and took classes to the young buds with great involvement and self motivation.  The school Principal, Mr.Muthukmar was a terrific gentleman. He gave me a free hand to explore and experiment in many areas in education. I was “almost” working as an Assistant Headmaster. In fact, today I can challenge that the students to whom I took classes can hardly meet another motivating teacher as me in their lifetime. I had worked with so much dedication and devotion.  The school was exactly 8 kms. from my house. Daily I went in a moped. I will have to travel 4 kms in town traffic and another 4 kms in National Highway traffic. Hence, I will have to follow two different styles in my driv...
