Tutu’s Birthday Bash

By Shareena

Tutu is a little girl who is studying in her Grade 3. Her Birthday was on July 27th . She was thinking a lot about how to celebrate her B’day.

She always nags her mom “Ma, tell me how many days more for my Birthday and what are you going to gift me? Shall I call my friends for the B’day party or not? Will you buy me that delicious creamy strawberry cake with my favorite character printed on the top of the cake?

Ma said Tutu there are 4 weeks for your B’day to come. You should patiently wait and we can plan it slowly.  

Ma was little worried as Tutu keeps on repeating the same questions every day morning. Ma also thought that when I was small I didn’t receive any cake or gifts from my parents. I didn’t even know or remember when my Birthday was.

One morning Tutu again came to her Ma with the same set of questions. Ma made Tutu sit on her lap and explained her, Baby! Do you know what would be the cost of the cake or the gifts you asked for?  

Me and Pappa are happy to buy anything for you but, do you think that materialistic happiness stays in your mind for a long? 

Tutu said ..hmmmm….I don’t know.

Ma told Tutu, may be you remember this B’day celebration for a week or a month..Later you will completely forget it and start planning for your next B’day and how to celebrate it.

If you are interested, Shall I give you an idea to make this B’day a memorable one?

With a sad face Tutu said..Okkkayyy…

Do you remember Meena amma and her daughter Kutty? They need a small help from us. As online classes are going on in the school, Kutty cannot attend the classes because she is not having a Tab or a computer, Ma continued.

Now tell me, can we buy a Tab as a gift for Kutty on your B’day?. She will be very happy and can continue with her classes too, Ma asked Tutu.

Tutu brightened up said Ma..it is a good idea. We can buy a Tab for Kutty and I will also feel happier in sharing my B’day with her. 

But one more thing, will you buy me at least one slice of that creamy strawberry cake pleasssseeeeee……

Ma smiled and hugged Tutu.

    Nice story ... We can teach our kids instead of spending money un-wantedly we can share it with needy PPL and enjoy the bday.

Mira drank Sweet corn soup

It was April 14 th , Tamil New year. Mira’s mom woke her and asked her to get ready to send wishes and distribute sweets and savories to their neighbors Kumar family. Mira was too tired. Mira said to her mom that she still feel sleepy and doesn’t have the mood to dress up and go out. And more over Uncle Kumar’s son Thiyash never shares any of his things with Mira. Mira told her mom, “Thiyash is mean and selfish too. Why do we need to share him sweets made in our home, Ma” Mom replied “Today is new year. I want you to forget all the old arguments and start to be nice from today or you will get bad luck, remember!” Mira wore a beautiful blue lehenga which had golden lotus and pink flowers embroidered on it.   She wore pink chanbali earrings and was all ready to meet her neighbors. Mira’s mom handed her a plate with 3 laddus, 3 murkkus, 3 vada and a small bowl of kheer. Mira walked carrying this plate to her neighbors’ home. She knocked at the door. No one answered.

Goldy, a Friendly Fish

Nagapattnam, a place in Tamil Nadu is a coastal area. Most people do fishing for their survival. Early morning, fishermen get ready with their fishing rod, big wired nets, baskets, and other accessories which are needed for fishing. They also pack some food and drinking water as they don’t know when they will be back to home. In a small village in Nagapattam, there lived a fisherman named Mattu. Mattu was a tall, strong and dark man with short curly hair. He wears colorful dhoti and a white vest with a munda (a piece of cloth) tied as a turban to his head. By 3.00 am, he packed his things and left for fishing in deep sea. That day, the sea was very violent and stormy. Big waves raised up the yatch. His yatch was almost about to drown. He shouted for help, being in the middle of the sea. None could hear him in that strong wind. Mattu’s Yatch drowned. He held a piece of wood from the yatch and was floating. Back in the village, Liloo, Mattu’s daughter was worried that her father

Save every drop of water

It was a bright sunny morning. Golu woke up and stretched his hands with a slow “…yaaaahh….”. He got up from his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Without turning off the water tap, he was brushing his teeth for a long time and emptied the whole water tank in his house. When he was about to wash his mouth and brush he found that no water came from the tap. He tapped the tap’s top and turned the value from left to right and right to left. He was confused “I saw the water  coming a minute back, now what happened??” he thought scratching his head. He called his Grandfather “Grandpa! Grandpa! Please come here!” Golu’s grandfather hurriedly came to Golu’s room. He thought Golu  is  in trouble. Golu: “Grandpa, I was brushing my teeth and there is no water coming out of this tap. Is there a mistake with the tap?? Please check Grandpa” Grandfather thoroughly inspected the tap. The tap was perfect. He checked the water line pipes for leakage. It was good and in working
