All Written Words Have A Message Worth Preserving.

Quite a nice anecdote.We get lifes lessons fro unknown sources and unforeseen incidents.. Reading certainly widens our horizon and makes us thinking when confronted with problems.Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

 

Dear Brother @HariLakhera,
Super jotting and tad nostalgic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it but also at the same time, I was sad about that slip over bananna peel on the street and a lesson from it.

Wnen she upon her return from shopping, commanded that I must unpack the groceries and display vegetables left on the small table in a single room flat. As I unpacked unwrapped one of the groceries item, the words in block letters UPSC struck her eyes. She grabbed it at once gone through and said, “ look. Here is a job that befits your specialisation and exp. apply today”. It was. I attended the interview and selected and served till retirement!

From that time onwards, I made it as a habit to read the text available on package materials which could be news paper or carton or print on al foil cum plastic coated. With packed items many times found inferior in some respect, it has become routine to see in prints first date of packing date of expiry or use by Date.

The Hollywood humorous movie Herby Goes Banana cross the mind. It reminds me of my dad scraping the inner underneath the skin white layer from ripe bananas telling me it is all vitamins. He said - cows like the peel because it contains vital nutrients including vitamin. But humans can’t digest.

My colleague taught me not to throw to bin the banana blackened in fridge storage and that inner stuff would be intact and not over ripe.

The volume of written printed visual messages in the present world are so huge that it requires several life times to merely glance or read. But then, we choose to read what is beneficial or gives us pleasant feeling. Even erotica at times gives hints.

But for written materials, the civilisation progression won’t have been possible to reach the present stage thanks to hieroglyphics, palm leaves, manuscripts and scribes and also to China man Johann Gutenberg . He did invent was a machine that greatly improved the process of printing with movable type. He may have gotten the idea for his press from a winepress, a machine used to press the juice out of grapes. Gutenberg's printing press worked in a similar way.

The theme of the post is nothing can be ignored because of its shape or and size and profound thinking would lead to good moral or life lessons.

 

For readers here, I must tell the response from OP to my FL is hidden in the high lighted part in his reply box.

 

Dear Hari Sir,

It is not only books but I believe even experiences that happen to us is there for a reason to tell us something. Many times messages come from people when we need that message. The life unfolds exactly what we need to know if we care to look at it carefully.
