๐Ÿ–ŒMoral story of the day ๐Ÿ–Œ
๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿฆฑ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐ŸปOld Man and his Son:

Once an old man living who used to live in small village who was invited by his son to visit Mumbai who was a successful businessman living with wife and son there.

Old man was bit scared to go to city as he had spent most of his life at his birthplace in village. He only knew his local language and wouldnโ€™t understand Hindi or English much. Also Old man was habitual to wearing traditional clothes like dhoti kurta.

Yet he was happy that he would get to spend few days with his son and family. He thought to himself, โ€œItโ€™s OK. I will spend best time with my son.โ€

On decided day old man came to Mumbai. His son received him and was very much excited about his father visit. Son and his wife wanted to show him around city. His son would take him out to nearest place and there they would have their favorite drinks. Son would take his father to visit various places and all had lots of fun.

Old man had very good time with family and was very happy. In last week of old manโ€™s visit, son said to his father, โ€œLetโ€™s go to best hotel here.โ€

Son and father went to hotel. They ordered their drinks and some snacks as accompaniments with their drinks. Old man wasnโ€™t feeling like eating with drinks at that time so when they got up to leave, old man simply took a handful of chana and stuffed it in fold of his dhoti to eat them on his way.

While their way back in the lobby, old man stumbled and down went all the chana on the plush carpet. As father was going to fall, son supported him and saved him from falling.

Gently he helped his father to get back on his feet and instead of feeling irritated he was amused and laughed with his father about what happened and on their way back they decided to come back at that hotel as father liked it there.

A few days later he went to his friends party and shared this incident and they all laughed it off.

One of friends asked, โ€œWerenโ€™t you embarrassed?โ€

Son replied, โ€œWhy should i be embarrassed?? He is my father. He is a person who loves to talk in his native language and prefer to wear dhoti to posh hotel and takes chana to eat laterโ€ฆ so what?โ€

He continued, โ€œShould i feel embarrassed because of his nature and habits?? He should be allowed to do what ever he feels comfortable with as long as he is not harming others.

At that time i didnโ€™t cared about what people there would think about me or what hotel staff thought about that but only concern then was my fatherโ€™s happiness.โ€

Moral: We should understand and have respect for otherโ€™s person life style. We shouldnโ€™t we embarrassed of our elderโ€™s ways to do work.

โœ…Gold is one of the most valuable commodities on our planet.Gold is often mixed with other metals and chemicals to alter its properties and suit them to the respective task.

๐Ÿ“ŒAlloy metals are added to gold to increase the hardness and durability of coins and jewelry made from it. Gold in itself is very soft, and you can expect alloyed gold to be much harder than the pure sample in itself. Alloys are also added to alter its colors, decrease the cost per weight, or avoid the cost of high-purity refinement.For example, 18K gold contains 75% gold and 25% other metals, while 14K gold contains 58,3% gold and 41.7% other metals.

In 16th century, there was nurse name Panna dai who was in service to Maharana Sangram Singh. She was responsible for taking care of son of Raja. She used to take care of him along with her own son Chandan who was of similar age as Young Udai. Both kids used to play together.

After defeating enemy Vikarmaditya came back to continue his reign but because of short temper of Vikramaditya, no one in his court liked him and one day because of this all nobles decided to rebel and orders were placed to arrest Vikramaditya.

Now Udai singh was the only heir-elect to the throne but he was young so Kingโ€™s court appointed Vikramaditya distant brother to act as Regent. Distant brother felt that he is rightful heir to throne so he planned and assassinated Vikramaditya in prison and sent assassin to kill young Udai.

Just in few moments Assassins burst into room with sword in hand to kill prince and asked Panna about where about of young Udai. She pointed toward prince bed and watched in horror assassins killing her own son brutally. Distant brother informed court about Udai death and claimed throne.

Grief stricken Panna dai packed some clothes and other things and left for spot near river where servant was waiting for her with young Udai. After many years struggle royal nursemaid and Udai returned to kingdom and after ensuring safety of Udai she told whole story of deception and escape.
