Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face. Unaware of this significant reality, he and two others continued swimming. This  goes on regularly but sudd...

Fruits of patience are always sweet


Asking for the wrong fare has become a habit of the auto rickshaw carriers. They only try to read the faces of helpless passengers, who more often do not oppose their terrible unacceptable or unreasonable fare at the instant. Sometimes the passengers decide to accept their demand in urgency.  

Particularly the battery-driven auto carrier wallahs are not good with the passengers in any manner. The traveller has to submit to the stubbornness of these auto-rickshaw carrier drivers. But as we fully well know the fruits of patience are always sweet. 

Exuding an air of ease, one tired passenger steps into the carrier to go to the destination, thinking about the bloated fare raised by the auto-rickshaw driver. Just as he reaches the desired place, he starts to pay the fare. Still, the driver, in a fit to get enough fare, inadvertently returns the amount by deducting the fare earlier suggested by the weary passenger. 

This incident also provides a rare glimpse into daily life where dishonesty does not always win by allowing people to pay unnecessarily more fare. 

It seems that the Almighty above the blue sky is undoubtedly monitoring how – and when – honest ones are compellingly tricked by the worldly insincere or flawed people. 

What was the need to ask for more fare than a fixed amount for that short distance?  Despite his acute cleverness, the cunning auto rickshaw man does not succeed in his optimistic objective to secure a bit of an extra amount. He gets the amount he needs at that critical time. 

The passenger saved himself without so much exercise as a flyaway fluttering in the breeze. The news emphasizes strictly individual and financial issues that might be matched with fraudulent activities.

The idea of a deceitful act proved a dream but it had revealed the driver's conceit. He might have spent most of his day pressing through such unfaithful efforts, exploring every stake to accomplish his hypocritical aim. He could expect his due success but could not be secure before his wrong thoughts.
