| I had to write a cover story and somehow no
intriguing story was coming to my mind. Tired
of thinking, I went to bed. In my dreams, I saw
that the five fingers of my hand, which normally
shared a warm friendship, got into a serious
argument. Of course, the subject is the same
old one that has been plaguing all living things
since the dawn of time -who is the biggest of them all. The
thumb responded first with a contemptuous look on its face
and with a perceptible sneer wondering why there should be
an argument at all about it. “Without me”, the thumb said,
“you all are powerless. Try doing anything without my support
and you will know!” The middle finger laughed out loud at this
statement and said, “I am the tallest here and strategically
placed at the middle. Haven’t you seen that in any group photo,
the most important person occupies the middle seat? Do I
need to say anything more?”

| A duck and a porcupine, no one knows how,
(Contrary to grammar) are a duckupine now.
The stork told the tortoise, ‘Isn’t this fun!
As the stortoise, we’re second to none!’
The parrot-faced lizard felt rather silly-
Must he give up insects and start eating chilli?
The goat charged the scorpion at a rapid run
Jumped on his back, now head and tail are one.
The giraffe lost his taste for roaming far and wide,
Like a grasshopper he’d rather jump and glide.
The cow said, ‘Am I sick, too, from this disease?
Or why should the rooster chase me, if you please?’ And oh the poor elewhale—that was a bungle, While Whale yearns for the sea, Eli wants the jungle. The hornbill was desperate as it had no horns, Merged with a deer now, it no longer mourns.

| Saint Thiruvalluvar, a famous saint from South India, used to make his ends meet by weaving saris meticulously. He once
took a sari woven by him to the market. There was a young
man who had doubts about the saintly nature of Thiruvalluvar.
The young man asked him what the price of the sari was. The
saint replied- “Four rupees!” To provoke the saint, the boy tore
the sari into two halves. He then picked up a half and again,
asked its price.

| The recent 28th shodhyatra in
Mizoram has been quite
cathartic for me personally. I*
had been aware of the need to
conserve water and proper
practices we should follow in our
daily life. But I must confess
when I washed my hands with
soap in the morning, the tap used
to remain open while scrubbing
soap. It is difficult to do so now. I
want to share the experience,
which has made me feel
embarrassed about my own
behaviour and has transformed
me from just a feeling of guilt to
an ability to correct myself.

| Inventa, a young girl of twelve years was always at odds with her friends and family members. She was tired of hearing, \\\"What is your problem? Why should you be responsible for setting right all the problems of the world? Why can’t you focus on your own studies and work? But her proposition was, \\\"It is this argument of you elders which has kept our country backward, I don’t want to be indifferent to the problems just because these are not my problem, or I cannot solve them given my limited skill sets\\\".
