Quotes by Chitralekha Paul

Marriage can be made to work if both the partners can see beyond themselves and understand the limitations,needs and abilities of the other person and are willing to embrace the positive and negative aspects of each other in their understanding.But it never happens that way. We expect others to understand and comply with us while we fail to do the same.Thus marriage loses all its sheen by the time the couple reaches middle age.

So on a sunday,thelady with an iron willtook over fromthe soft and kind hearted mother.she did not give her anything to eat and waited for the golden moment,expecting a hungry Smriti to beg for food.But the much awaited moment never came.Smriti was not at all bothered about her meal and kept playing happily. The day turned into evening and still there was no trace of hunger in her.Arent you feeling hungry? now a worried mother had no option but to eat the humble pie and ask the daughter.No Maa. My friend Pinky had brought wafers and chocolates. Those were so yummy that I ate them all......And that was the end of herstarve-to -know-the-worth-of-food-mission.

Which story do you want to hear my child?he picked him up and made him sit on his lap.Tell us the story of that fairy who lived in a house of wafers,had a garden of chocolate trees and a pond full of goldfishes,the child wrapped his arms around his shoulder.
