STORY OF THE DIRTY LAUNDRY

STORY OF THE DIRTY LAUNDRY
👚🎽👖

A young couple moved into a new neighborhood.

The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the washed laundry outside.

"That laundry is not very clean", she said, "she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap."

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband:

"Look! She has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this."

The husband said: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows!"

And so it is with life:

"What we see when we are watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge."

What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our Life of tomorrow.

Our life is a creation of our mind.

Stress means the gap between expectations & reality. More the gap, more the stress.

Don't believe in Tit for Tat rule...

because you can't bite a dog who has bitten you...

so don't spoil your level just to teach others...

moral......

"Think twice, Act wise."

Learn to "LET GO". Because You cannot even have the next breath until you let go the existing one.

waning moon or the dark fortnight).

Hindu women. On this day the women pray for the welfare and long life
of their husbands. The festival is followed mainly in the northern parts
of the country.

Married women eat food early
in the morning, before sunrise. They are
not supposed to eat or even drink water during the day. In the evening
the ladies listen to the Karwa Chauth
Katha (the legend). The fast is
over after the moonrise.

buy the shringar or the traditional adornments and the other
pooja items like the karwa, matthi, heena etc.

Early in the morning they prepare food and have it before sunrise. The
morning passes by in other festive activities like decorating hand and
feet with heena, decorating the pooja thali and
meeting friends and relatives.

In the late afternoon women gather at a common place like temple or a
garden or someones’ place who has arranged the pooja. An elderly lady
or the pujarin narrates the legend of Karwa Chouth.

Karwa chauth story , a special mud pot, that is considered a symbol of lord Ganesha, a metal urn filled with water, flowers, idols of Ambika Gaur Mata, Goddess Parwati and some fruits, mathi and food grains. A part of this is offered to the deities and the storyteller.

Earlier an idol of Gaur Mata was made using earth and cowdung. Now just
an idol of Goddess Parwati is kept. Every one lights an earthen lamp in
their thalis while listening to the Karwa story. Sindoor, incense
sticks and rice are also kept in the thali.

At this time the women wear heavy saris or chunries in red , pink or
other bridal colors, and adorn themselves with all other symbols of a
married women like, nose pin, tika, bindi, chonp, bangles, earrings etc.

Once the moon rises, the women see its reflection in a thali of water,
or through a dupatta or a sieve. They offer water to the moon and seek

husbands. This marks the end of the day long fast.
