The Crow and the Fox in the famous 'vadai' story also has relevance to real life characters!![]()
Fox is not a friend of Crow but says that the crow has the most beautiful voice in the whole world and requests it to sing!
The proud crow believes this and starts cawing, only to lose its favorite dish stolen from a granny!! :sad:
I saw a rare flower today.
It had five small white petals surrounded
by hundreds of thin long hair-like violet petals.
The five white petals are the PANdavAs
and the hundred thil violet petals KouravAs!
Amazing to see them live in peace in harmony
in a small flower after all they did while alive!
The thin tall stigma must have been Lord Krishna
driving in good sense to the components of the flower!
The name of the flower is PANdava pushpam and not
Kourava pushpam - in spite of the 100 violet petals!
Dear Jayashree,
The Chinese version of the Fox and the Crow story would have been better if the battalion of crows had just driven away the fox! :whip:
I have seen crows attacking live owl but only to drive it away!
This owl which took shelter in our garden was driven away very soon by a dozen crows!!

Great post, Visalakshi ji!
As and when people rise to prominence, their entire personality opens up like a book before us. We should be careful to overlook minor flaws (if they are without a consequence on anybody else) of good people and not brand them names! Even pure milk is boiled to remove harmful insects from it. But that does not mean milk is not good! The wise say, "Just as small misgivings of the good should be ignored, so also small goodness within the wicked should be ignored too". Calling the good as same as the wicked because the good had some minor bad traits is a flaw. :wave:
Dear JR!
Won't it make them 100% wicked if we do this? :decision:
Why :wave: already???
OK if you want it that way why not? Sure!![]()
Wow! You are an amazing photographer, Raji ji!
Sometime back, inside my house, there was a cricket (or it could even be a grasshopper, I don't know). It was jumping here and there in the kitchen. I was cooking. I was so terrified its going to fall into my food while its still cooking in the stove, so at an opportune moment I killed it. Then I looked up on the internet and everywhere it said one should never, ever kill a cricket when it enters the house 'cause it supposedly brings good luck and killing means bad luck. How on earth will people be peaceful with a jumping cricket within the house? What if it jumps on their head in the middle of the night? I can't see a better solution than killing it...
Ahimsa is a predominant trait of a vaishnavite.
Vaagmi ji! It is better I gave it an 'instant death' -- for it might have fallen on the hot, boiling Sambar and underwent a more horrifying death!
Ha ha! That's a good one, Vaagmi ji!
