The Tiger's Whisker - an inspirational story
Once upon a time a young wife named yonok was at her wits end her husband had always been a tender and loving soulmate before he had left for the wars [Music] but ever since he returned home he was cross angry and unpredictable she was almost afraid to live with her own husband only in glancing moments did she catch a shadow of the husband she used to know and love when one ailment or another bothered people in her village they would often rush for a cure to a hermit who lived deep in the mountains not januk she always prided herself that she could heal her own troubles but this time was different she was desperate as janok approached the hermit's hut she saw the door was open the old man said without turning around i hear you what's your problem she explained the situation his back's still to her he said ah yes it's often that way when soldiers return from the war what do you expect me to do about it make a potion cried the young wife or an amulet a drink whatever it takes to get my husband back the way he used to be the old man turned around young woman your request doesn't exactly fall into the same category as a broken bone or ear infection i know she said it will take three days before i can even look into it come back then three days later janok returned to the hermit hut jannok he greeted her with a smile i have good news there is a potion that will restore your husband to the way he used to be but you should know that it requires an unusual ingredient you must bring me a whisker from a live tiger what she gasped such a thing is impossible i cannot make the potion without it he shouted startling her he turned his back there is nothing more to say as you can see i'm very busy that night janok tossed and turned how could she get a whisker from a live tiger [Music] the next day before dawn she crept out of the house with a bowl of rice covered with meat sauce she went to a cave on the mountainside where a tiger was known to live she clicked her tongue very softly as she crept up her heart pounding and carefully set the bowl on the grass then trying to make as little noise as she could she backed away the next day before dawn she took another bowl of rice covered with meat sauce to the cave she approached the same spot clicking softly with her tongue she saw that the ball was empty replaced the empty one with a fresh one and again left clicking softly and trying not to break twigs or rustle leaves or do anything else to startle and unsettle the wild beast so it went day after day for several months she never saw the tiger thank goodness for that she thought though she knew from footprints on the ground that the tiger and not a smaller mountain creature had been eating her food then one day as she approached she noticed the tiger's head poking out of its cave glancing downward she stepped very carefully to the same spot and with as little noise as she could set down the fresh bowl and her heart pounding picked up the one that was empty after a few weeks she noticed that tiger would come out of its cave as it heard her footsteps though it stayed at the distance away again thank goodness she thought though she knew that someday in order to get the whisker she'd have to come closer to it another month went by then the tiger would wait by the empty football as it heard her approaching as she picked up the old bowl and replaced it with a fresh one she could smell its scent as it could surely smell hers actually she thought remembering its almost kittenish look as she set down a fresh pole it is rather a friendly creature when you get to know it the next time she visited she glanced up at the tiger briefly and noticed with a lovely downturn of reddish fur it had from over one of its eyebrows to the next not a week later the tiger allowed her to gently rub its head and it purred and stretched like a house cut then she knew the time had come the next morning very early she brought with her a small knife after she set down the fresh bowl and the tiger allowed her to pet its head she said in a low voice oh my tiger may i please have just one of your whiskers while petting the tiger with one hand she held one whisker at its base and with the other hand in one quick stroke she carved the whisker off she stood up speaking softly her thanks and left for the last time the next morning seemed endless at last her husband left for the rice fields she ran to the hermit's hut clutching the precious whisker in her fist bursting in she cried to the hermit i have it i have the tiger's whisker you don't say he said turning around from a live tiger yes she said tell me said the hermit interested how did you do it janok told the hermit howe for the last six months she had earned the trust of the creature and it had finally permitted her to cut off one of its whiskers with pride she handed him the whisker the hermit examined it satisfied himself that it was indeed a whisker from a live tiger then flicked it into the fire where it sizzled and burned in an instant janok the hermit set softly you no longer need the whisker tell me is a man more vicious than a tiger if a dangerous wild beast will respond to your gradual and patient care do you think a man will respond any less willingly janox stood speechless then she turned and stepped down the trail turning over in her mind images of the tiger and of her husband back and forth now she knew what she could do [Music] you see in life in your life sometimes challenges seem impossible sometimes problems seem bigger than the world start approaching your problems like januk approached the tiger with love with care and every day try to go a step further. This is their to do motivation stories thank you so much for watching and stay blessed you.

The production of carpets worth $60 million annually for American retailers is a significant aspect of big business, as reported by Insider Business.
It can take nearly a complete year to produce a single carpet of this kind, with a thorough washing being one of the final stages in the process. OBT, India's largest manufacturer of handmade carpets, produces approximately 350,000 carpets annually, with the majority being supplied to brands such as William Sonoma and West Elm in the United States. The cost of a single carpet can exceed $12,000 due to the fact that most of them are crafted by hand. However, OBT has the ability to reject a carpet for even the slightest imperfection, which can result in a year's worth of work being ruined.

India's Largest Carpet Producer
For India's new Parliament building, 900 weavers worked 1 million hours each to create hand-knotted carpets. The company dies all its yarn in-house and its workers load up machines that can hold up to 880 pounds of yarn. the batch first goes through a chemical wash then they prepare the dyes which are made from chemicals and natural ingredients, like fruits and bark. obti takes a sample to the lab and runs a series of tests to make sure the color won't rub off. weavers can't get started until they have the map or naksha, which they have to follow in granular detail. each square represents a knot and a specific yarn color. the company has its own weaving center with 224 artisans, who use a drum to build the carpet's foundation or warp. but some build it by hand, which can take a full day. honey OBT works with over 25,000 local weavers like ramlal, who've been working with the company for about 50 years. once the warp is done, he starts laying down the design thread by thread, some of which have over 2 million knots. foreign company officials inspect the work on each one of obt's 5,000 looms every 15 days. once each carpet is finished and approved, weavers deliver it to the factory. foreign workers use a blowtorch to burn off loose fibers; teams of washers give the carpet a scrub; everything starts with water dowsing; a chemical treatment gets rid of dust; right here; foreign carpets shrink during washing phase so they have to be stretched back out; once they're dry; they clip and shear carpet's surface to a specific height; machines help but they mostly have to do this by hand; they also straighten and bind edges and trim or not any fringes after two more rounds of inspection; the carpets are ready for delivery; it takes hundreds of workers to keep this operation going; but the company has struggled to find new weavers. uttar Pradesh is one of India's poorest states and young people are moving away to find better paying jobs. many of obesity's weavers are also farmers. OBT has been trying to boost its workforce by recruiting more women, but so far that's not been successful: only about 25 percent of working age women in India are part of the labor force. veteran weavers like ramlal have trained almost 2,000 women since 2015.,and they're keeping standards high.
