Stories section
Complex problems have simple solutions
Many years ago in a small Zezuru village, a

farmer had the misfortune of owing a large
sum of money to a village moneylender. The
moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied
the farmer’s young beautiful daughter. So the
moneylender proposed a bargain. He said he
would forgo the farmer’s debt if he could
marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his
daughter were horrified by the proposal.
So the cunning money-lender suggested that

they let providence decide the matter. He told
them that he would put a black pebble and a
white pebble into An empty money bag. Then
the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1. If she picked the black pebble, she would
become his wife and her father’s debt would be forgiven. 2. If she picked the white pebble she
need not marry him and her father’s debt would still be forgiven. 3. But if she refused to pick
a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in
the farmer’s field.
As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the
sharp-eyed damsel/girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into
the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. Now, imagine that you were
standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise
her, what would you have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities: 1. The
girl should refuse to take a pebble. 2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles
in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat. 3. The girl should pick a black pebble and
sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment. Take a moment
to ponder over the story.
The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between
lateral and logical thinking. The girl’s dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical
thinking.
Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers. What would you
recommend to the girl do?
Please see the solution after you come up with your own solution.
What the girl really did:
6|Page
Well, here is what she did…The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew
out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-
strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles. “Oh, how clumsy
of me,” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be
able to tell which pebble I picked.” Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed
that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his
dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely
advantageous one.
𝙼𝙾𝚁𝙰𝙻: Most complex problems may have a simple solution; just change the way you think
about them.

A short story about Do not judge by appearance
Judging someone does not helpful for

everyone.Some people hurt with judge.I don't
know why they judging on us.
Some of people judge because of their
appearance doesn't look good.Not look good
doesn't mean they are bad.
For example,my friends had ever judge my
brother.They said ''eww,your brother look so bad
.I don't want to be friend with you neither your
brother and I don't want to come over to your
house again'. In reality my brother does have a good job and salaries to bear us.My brother
don't want to show his appearance that he is a good man because he think that the most
important is us not other people.
Until now they don't know that my brother is a good man.I don't want to tell them because
they already said that they don't want to become my friends.So I just let it go and move on.
There many people out there want to becomes my friend.
MORAL OF THE STORY DON'T EVER JUDGE
SOMEONE BY THEIR APPEARANCE WE DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THEIR LIFE.WE DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHY THEY LOOK LIKE THAT.BE GOOD
TO PERSON THAT SURROUNDING WITH US.

Don’t procrastinate do your work sincerely

“Once upon a time there lived a farmer Hari Singh.
People found him peculiar. He did not want to hang
out with his friends, sit idle or chat or smoke with
them. You would never find him loitering in the
bazaar or playing cards with the good for nothing
work shirkers. Every village has a number of them,
you know. Otherwise, he was caring, sensitive,
supportive, a great listener and a loyal person.
Hari was a very hard-working person. He kept to
himself and his fields. In today’s parlance you can
say he was an introvert. He listened to everyone but
kept aloof. He was highly focused. He loved his farming work and was not afraid of working
hard. Naturally nature favoured him – his fields had the best yield.
The Oracle announced that there would be a famine; there would be no rains for a long time.
People were very upset. People discussed and planned. They tried to appease Gods. Special
yagnas were performed. Animals were sacrificed, while everyone knew one should be kind to
animals. Everything possible was being done. The fields became neglected, abandoned. Even
the weeds stopped growing.
Hari as usual kept to himself. He told his wife to give contribution asked for all the collective
activities. He would go to his fields in the morning and plough them. Others regarded him mad
and made fun of him. Hari’s wife felt insulted and tried to stop him, but he told her not to pay
attention to them. The soil called to him – he was the soil’s true son.
One day a small cloud was watching Hari till the soil. The small cloud had also heard the
comments, sniggers and snickers behind Hari’s back in the village. He was curious. He looked
down from the sky and asked Hari, ‘Don’t you know there are going to be no rains for a long
time? Why are you working in your fields?’ Hari looked up and realized it was a small cloud
and not somebody from his village teasing him. He was an innately polite person. So he made
an effort to explain, 'Son, I am a farmer and am doing my work. It’s my habit to work in the
fields daily. I know about no rains… if I won’t do my work for a long time I might even forget
to do it. If rains decide to come then my field, my furrows will be ready for them.’
The power of suggestion is very strong. The little cloud was impressed by Hari’s logic. He got
worried, ‘What? Hey, this can happen to me also. If I do not rain for a long time, I also may
forget to drop my rain.” So he decided to get to work. It rained in Hari’s fields.
Other villagers and clouds also decided to get back to business.”
If we do not procrastinate, do our allotted work – we live happily. Why should we be frightened
of things that happen, might happen, might not happen? Always
– always do your best. Form good work habits. Push yourself and
don’t waste your time in day-dreaming. Success is the result of
preparation, hard work and learning from failures.

Ramanathaswamy Temple, Rameswaram – Third Corridor (Third Prakaram):
There are three corridors in the Temple named as "kovil prakarams".
The third corridor is the largest temple corridor in
the world. The specifications of its dimensions are
really massive. The outer set of corridors is reputed
to be the longest in the world being about 6.9 m
height, 400 feet in each in the east and west and
about 640 feet in north and south and inner
corridors are about 224 feet in east and west and
about 352 feet each in north and south. Their width
varies from 15.5 feet to 17 feet in the east and west
about 172 feet on the north and south with width
varying 14.5 feet to 17 feet.
The total length of those corridors is thus 3850 feet. There are about 1212 pillars in the outer
corridor. Their height is about 30 feet from the floor to the center of the roof. The main tower
or Rajagopuram is 53 m tall. Most pillars are carved with individual composition. Most of the
brilliantly carved pillars feature individual themes and are aligned in a special way. The carved
granite pillars are mounted on a raised platform and its uniqueness lies in the fact that the
rock is not indigenous to the island, but was brought in from other parts of Tamilnadu across
the sea.
The third prakaram ceiling has paintings of 12 Rasis with their
devadhais in 32 squares. Vahana rooms, Sudhai Sirpam of
Sethupathi and Veerapathirar are located in third corridor.
Kothandarama Sannadhi is like a separate temple with
Karuvarai, Artha mandapam and vimanam, Sudhai Sirpam of Sri
Ramalinga Pradistai, Ramar, Seetha and Lakshmana, Sukrivan,
Vibeesnar are located in the third prakaram.
Natarajar Sannadhi is on the third corridor with sanctum,
Ardhamandapam & mahamandapam. On the east Anuppu
mandapam, has sudhai sirpangal and paintings of Shiva’s
dances. Mahalakshmi Sannadhi, Anjaneyar Sannadhi,
Sethupathi mandapam, Kalyana mandapam is located in this
prakaram.
The East Rajagopuram (45) is of 126 feet with 9 tiers & 9
kalasams. This construction was started during 1629 by Thalavai
Sethupathi and completed in 1904 by Nattukkottai Nagarathar A.L.A.R family. The West
Rajagopuram is of very old construction with full of stone during 1434 and the height is 78 feet
with 5 tiers. Vinayagar and Sri Subramaniyar Sannadhi are located in the front of this
prakaram.
The year-long painting works in the third corridor of the temple had been completed at a cost
of Rs.54 lakh. And water jet washing was performed to restore the granite structure in the
inner and outer prakarams of Swami and Ambal Sannathis. It had been taken up at a cost of
Rs.75 lakh. The stone wall pillars in the prakarams had given preservative coatings.

outermost third corridor of the Ramanathaswamy temple, the
work later carried out by Chella muthu Vijaya Ragunatha

Quotations Corner
Famous quotes from Kalam Sir
“The trouble is that we often merely analyse life
instead of dealing with it. People dissect their
failures for causes and effects, but seldom deal
with them and gain experience to master them
and thereby avoid their recurrence. This is my
belief: that through difficulties and problems
God gives us the opportunity to grow. So when
your hopes and dreams and goals are dashed,
search among the wreckage, you may find a
golden opportunity hidden in the ruins.”
“Why be afraid of difficulties, sufferings and
problems? When troubles come, try to understand the relevance of your sufferings. Adversity
always presents opportunities for introspection.”
“The sides of the mountain sustain life, not the peak. This is where things grow, experience is
gained, and technologies are mastered. The importance of the peak lies only in the fact that it
defines the sides.”
“Within the mind are all the resources required for successful living. Ideas are present in the
consciousness, which when released and given scope to grow and take shape, can lead to
successful events.”
“My story—the story of the son of Jainulabdeen, who lived for over a hundred years on Mosque
Street in Rameswaram island and died there; the story of a lad who sold newspapers to help
his brother; the story of a pupil reared by Sivasubramania Iyer and Iyadurai Solomon; the
story of a student taught by teachers like Pandalai; the story of an engineer spotted by MGK
Menon and groomed by the legendary Prof. Sarabhai; the story of a scientist tested by failures
and setbacks; the story of a leader supported by a large team of brilliant and dedicated
professionals. This story will end with me, for I have no belongings in the worldly sense. I have
acquired nothing, built nothing, possess nothing—no family, sons, daughters.”
15 | P a g e
“To succeed in life and achieve results, you must understand and master three
mighty forces— desire, belief, and expectation.”
We are all born with a divine fire in us. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill
the world with the glow of its goodness.”
