Interesting Read for today!!!!





The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and girls. Near the window, was seated an old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside…



’See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful'



This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son. ‘This guy seems to be a freak...' newly married Anup whispered to his wife.



Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy ' see dad, how beautiful the rain is ...'



Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.



Anup,' cant you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum...and don’t disturb public henceforth'





The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied ' we are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning, he was blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes.... Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused...'





The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.

Awesome!!!!!!!!! I Really agree to it. It is very true that sometimes we react very badly without knowing the truth

very true and touching story...
we often prefer to look from 1 persperctive and that is our's perspective.. we never think about others and when we come to know the fact we regret for our behaivor so better think twice before speaking and analyse others behavior in our mind to know why the person is behaving in this manner and u will notice that you will be able to understand others perspective also....

regards,
