HUMAN BEINGS
Things I wish they taught us in school.
It happened last winter, a tiny little bird enjoyed the fall time a little too much and didn't start its journey south early enough. It started a little late in winter and tried to fly out, and it just froze and fell.
A cow was passing that way and it dropped a heap of dung. The dung fell right over the bird and covered it. The warmth of the dung slowly defrosted the bird and he started feeling good and started tweeting happily.
A cat was passing that way. It heard the tweet, looked around, and saw that the tweet was coming from inside the dung. He pushed the dung off, pulled the bird out of the dung, and ate him up.
So, whoever heaps you up in shit need not necessarily be your enemy. Whoever pulls you out of shit need not necessarily be your friend. And above all, when you are in a heap of shit, learn to keep your mouth shut.
A true friend who has the courage to tell you what shit you are, and still be loving and nice to you- that is friendship- Sadhguru.

An Envelope Full of Memories
I’m back with more writing adventures from my youth! It feels light and crisp in my hands. The paper is slightly wrinkled and yellowed with age… and there’s a weird stain in the top left corner. Inside it is a little window to a younger me.
