The Crystal Ball

In the south of Spain, there was a small village whose people were very joyful and lucky. The children played under the shade of trees in the gardens of their home. A shepherd boy whose name was Nasir stayed near the village with his father, mother and grandmother.


Early morning each day, he takes his herd of goats up the hills to find a suitable place for them to graze.In the afternoon he would return with them to the village. At night his grandmother would tell him a story. The story of stars. This story really interested Nasir. As usual, on one of these days, as Nasir was watching his herd and playing his flute he suddenly saw a wonderful light behind the flower bush. When he came towards the branches he saw a transparent and most beautiful crystal ball.


The crystal ball was glittering like a colorful rainbow. Nasir carefully took it in his hand and turned it around. With surprise suddenly he heard a weak voice coming from the crystal ball. It said, “You can make a wish that your heart desires and I will fulfill it."


Nasir could not believe that he had actually heard a voice. But he became so engrossed in his thoughts for he had so many wishes but he must wish for something which was impossible like the wish to be able to fly. He said to himself, “if I wait till tomorrow I will remember many things."


He put the crystal ball in a bag and gathered the herd, happily returned back to the village. He decided that he would not tell anyone about the crystal ball.


On the following day also, Nasir could not decide what to wish for, because he really had everything he needed. The days passed as usual and Nasir appeared to be very cheerful that the people around him were amazed to see his cheerful disposition.


One day a boy followed Nasir and his herd and hid behind a tree. Nasir as usual sat in one corner, took out the crystal ball and for a few moments looked at it. The boy waited for the moment when Nasir would go to sleep. Then he took the crystal ball and ran away. When he arrived in the village, he called all the people and showed them the crystal ball. The citizens of that tillage took the crystal ball in their hand and turned it around with surprise.


Suddenly they heard a voice from inside the crystal ball, which says, 'I can fulfill YOUR wish."


One person took the ball and screamed, "I want one bag full of gold." Another took the ball and said loudly, 1 want two chest full of jewelry."


Some of them wished that they would have their own palace with grand door made from pure gold instead of their old houses. Some also wished for bags full of jewelry, but nobody asked for gardens in their palaces. All their wishes were fulfilled but still the citizens of the village were not happy.


They were jealous because the person that had a palace had no gold and the person that had the gold had no palace. For this reason, the citizens of the village were angry and were not speaking to each other. There was not even one garden which existed in the village where the children could play. The patience of the children was running out and they were uncomfortable.


Nasir and his family were happy and pleased. Every morning and afternoon he would play the flute. The children could not wait anymore and decided to return the crystal ball to Nasir. The parents and neighbors went to him.


The children said to Nasir, "When we had a small village we all were happy and joyful." The parent also spoke. In one way or another nobody is happy. The expensive palaces and jewelry only bring us pain. When Nasir saw that the people were really regretful, he said I have not wished till now, if you really want everything to return to its own place, then I will wish for it. Everyone happily agreed. Nasir took the crystal ball in his hand turned around and wished that the village become the same as it was before. Everyone quickly turned towards the village and saw it became the same old village with gardens full of trees and fruits.


Once again the people started to live happily and the children played under the shade of trees. From the next day and everyday at sunset the sound of Nasir's flute could be heard in the village.


This story teaches us that we should be happy with whatever we have and not to be greedy. 

IT'S COMPLICATED !

You make me quiver,

As you near,

I cannot explain the way I feel, 

It makes me weak.

You say you need me, 

But can't see why, that feeds,

The inner fantasies of my soul,

That needs to be free !

We know that we can not have a chance,

But that seems like a stance,

For time that we never got,

 To prove how we lock.

I do not know what this is,

But is definitely a bliss,

For i skip a beat,

Every time we meet !

We care,

But never dare,

To face the reality,

As it might lead to calamity.

Let's be how we are,

And not loose this hour,

As we do not want to complicate.

That seems like a clean slate.

MOOD DISORDERS IN TEENS

   

"LISTENING TO PROBLEMS IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO COUNTER THESE ISSUES"

"Brain scans show that there are differences in the way girls and boys process emotional stimuli" -  Research

Anxiety and depression occur in both genders, but by the teenage years, girls are much more at risk than boys. Before puberty, the prevalence of mood disorders is about the same in boys and girls—3 to 5 percent. But by mid-adolescence girls are more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with a mood disorder as boys, with the prevalence at adult levels, 14 to 20 percent.

Why such a big disparity in mood disorders? We know from looking at brain scans that there are differences in the way girls and boys process emotional stimuli. Girls mature, in terms of their emotional recognition, faster than boys—and that sensitivity could make them more vulnerable to depression and anxiety.

It’s plausible that these gender differences around the time of puberty can be traced to evolutionary advantages: Girls may be wired to tune in earlier to emotional stimuli because it was advantageous for nurturing babies; for young men, given their roles as hunters and tribe protectors, emotional responsiveness might have been an important attribute not to have.

The argument that the differences in emotional sensitivity are hard-wired is underscored by the fact that even as women’s lives have clearly changed—with many more women living professional, competitive, Type-A lives—the rate of depression hasn’t dropped. Even the participation of far more girls in sports and other intense physical activities hasn’t reduced the rate of depression, though physical activity is important to emotional well-being, and one effective way to help jumpstart recovery in someone who’s depressed.

REMEDIES:-

Fortunately, early involvement of health care professionals can shorten the period of illness and increase the likelihood of her not missing important life lessons.

The most common treatment a mental health professional is apt to use is some form of cognitive behavioral therapy, and depending on how young the child is, it may involve teaching the parents as well. Cognitive behavioral therapy is based on the idea that a person suffering from a mood disorder is trapped in a negative pattern of thought. Depressed kids tend to evaluate themselves negatively, interpret the actions of others in a negative way, and assume the darkest possible outcome of events. Similarly, a child suffering from anxiety is overwhelmed by fears of negative outcomes long before events occur. In CBT, we teach sufferers to challenge those negative thoughts, to recognize the pattern and train themselves to think outside it. And in many cases, we see real improvement in teenagers with depression and anxiety.

If the anxiety or depression is moderate to severe, treatment may involve medications such as antidepressants. For both anxiety and depression, a combination of psychotherapy and medication usually works better than either alone.

THEM RULES

What feels like a cakewalk,

Is not what we thought,

We want to feel the Bliss,

All they do is Squish.

They want the best from us,

And squeeze us with a push,

It makes us all weak,

And Oh! so Bleak.

Rules they say, are for good,

That will make our lives cool,

They don't get the fact,

That they are making themselves a big Fool.

All demotivated

With all the Rules just promoted,

Makes me wanna Throw up,

When they are announced one by one.

Life is to live freely,

And to enjoy every moment happily,

Not to make it miserable,

What they say is unavoidable.

We are their Children they say,

Is that how you treat Them, If I may,

Ask them how it works,

They simply say, It Does.

We request you to alter the rules,

To something that might kick out the Blues,

For, we are a group of Fellows,

Ready, To not to Follow.
