  Helping Others Once, in a small village, lived a boy named Shankar. Coming from a humble background, he knew the value of every little thing his family possessed. One day, as he traversed through the dense forest, burdened with a bundle of firewood, he stumbled upon an old man, his face etched with hunger. Despite his own scarcity, Shankar wished to help him.

  The Reckless Squanderer It is a story of a man who all through his life lived a complicated life since being born and brought up into a wealthy family was his birth right which no one could deprive him of.    Having no value for money, he spent a good amount on shopping, gifting, clubbing, etc. Therefore, he faced many mood swings as sometimes he would be happy, and sometimes he would sadden down. Besides all this, he never bothered about his family or relatives. All he cared about was just a group of selected friends he had chosen. He believed that it was his right to choose a life partner and friends since the body structure, complexion, family, and relatives are all destined and given by God.  Because of his unnatural thinking, he used to cheat his parents, grandparents and sometimes even steal from them and spend it on his friends. Moreover, he also managed to save a substantial amount into his bank account. His friends continuously boosted his spirits h...
