Few of our founders have experienced the miracle of reading good stuff in their lives. They feel that it was their reading habit only that taught them so many good things in life. And, also in their adverse times, some inspirational and motivational good short stories gave them courage to survive the difficult times. They say that those small stories are like treasure for them for their entire life. So, they suggested the idea to share good short readings to Panchtatva readers. They feel that definitely these readings will help lots of people in different shades of life.

So Friends, we are sharing here these treasures with you all. And, we will be happy, if some reading helps you in any way. Your comments are always welcome.

I am because we are

An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in an African tribe.
He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the kids that who ever got there first won the sweet fruits.
When he told them to run they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.
When he asked them why they had run like that as one could have had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?''

'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am because we are"
The message is straight.. "Have Heart, Will care"

    Very very nice post.
    We should all believe in UBUNTU!
    The world is about we, us & all.
    I doesn't makes sense alone without the presence of you after any adjective :)
