Do Read This Small Story

Two friends, Tingu and Mingu, eat lunch together at work every day. Tingu prays each day, asking God for something other than poha in his lunchbox. However, when he opens it, he always finds poha and complains. This goes on for days until Mingu asks why Tingu doesn't ask someone else to pack his lunch, like his mother or wife. But Tingu replies that he doesn't live with his mother and isn't married. When Mingu asks who cooks for him, Tingu replies that he cooks for himself. The moral is that whatever we complain about in our lives, we are usually the ones who created or cooked it ourselves through our own mind.

Do read this small story..... Nyc one..

Two very close friends Tingu-Mingu used to eat lunch together at their workplace. While Mingu
started eating, Tingu joined his hands together and started praying aloud, “Oh God ! Please bless
me with something other than poha today in my lunch”. Finishing his prayers, with all hopes and
expectations he opened his lunchbox and painfully complained, “Oh no! POHA again!”

Next day too, the same episode was repeated, Tingu would pray and open his tiffin and eat poha
with all the complains in order. This continued for days.

Finally, Mingu broke his silence and asked Tingu, “Why don’t you ask your mother to cook
something else for you”.

“I don’t live with my mother” replied Tingu.

Mingu again asserted “Than ask your wife to cook something other than poha”.

“I’m not married” Tingu swiftly replied.

Mingu queries “Than who cooks for you?” Ask your cook to do it.

“I cook for myself!” replied Tingu.


Moral of the Story - Whatever we complain about or don’t want to have in the menu of our life is
actually our own dish, having been cooked by us only! It’s all the manifestation of our mind, so why
grumble??

Only YOU can change it because YOU only are the COOK !!!

Here I remember the small incident of MahaBharata.........

In Mahabharat, Krsna asked Yudhistir to get him an Evil person & Duryodhana, a good person. After
few days, both of them came back dejected as nobody cud find the person they were looking
for........... Duryodhan saw all bad people around him & Yudhistir failed to find an evil person
So...ppl... stop complainin,cribblin, nd throwin your ego here n there...!!!
