Life can be lived in any whichever way. We think, "I know" and act foolishly only to face misery and failure.
The theme is, "Living by Value Systems " The objective is Living with fewer failures.
There are several simple truth that we are unaware of. Most middle class homes in India, tell the young children had several generations of people living under one roof. The Grandma, tell the children several small stories and explain the moral in the story.
They become successful professionals, as they grow, because the story and the moral there are become their guiding principles in their life.
I tell my students, the graduate engineers, whom I trained for making them fit for employment, some of those stories.
I have picked some of those stories and made into two short story collections with title - My Dear Son - One., My Dear Son Two.
I have found that even grownup appreciate and benefit reading these books.
