She was teaching English to her daughter who's in class seven.
Daughter: Amma... Today, our English miss taught about proverbs and they are really good but I can't understand this one proverb...
She: Nice Kanna... Good to hear... What proverb is that ??
Daughter: It's "Many a slip between the cup and the lip"
She: Oh... That one ah... Amma will explain you with an example...
Daughter: Okay Amma...
She: (looking at her husband) See kanna... There're two things. One is that we don't have people to shower affection upon us. Second is that we've affectionate people around us but we don't know how to value and celebrate them.
Daughter: Oh ho... So, how does this proverb apply here ??
She: (with a smile behind pain) If you don't know how to value and celebrate the affectionate people around you, then there's no point in having them, they feel useless and that's the slip between the cup and the lip...
Daughter: Wah ... I understand that clearly & I won't forget that...

"An arrow has to be pulled backwards for it to march forward effectively. So, don't worry if you have setbacks. They are preparing you for you to march forward effectively", people say. Irony is that the setbacks shouldn't be too much that it leads to a throwback rather than a comeback just like a bowstring getting cut when the arrow is pulled backward beyond a limit.

The ones who had dreamt your dreams along with you and have stayed by your side during your toughest times are the ones who deserve to be with you when you've achieved your dreams. The irony is that our situations have something different in store for us. If we put effort which is atleast half the effort that we put for achieving our dreams, we can keep those precious ones by our side till eternity...

It was a free period for the class - 11 and the substitute teacher wanted to have an interaction with the students... So, she asked everyone of them about their ambition. And one by one answered. She also asked the reason behind their ambition as well to understand their perspective... And finally his turn came...
Teacher: You're the last... What's your ambition, young man ??
He: Miss... I want to be an Astronaut...
She: Oh wow... That's gr8. May I know the reason ??
He: People say, "I'll go to the moon and come back for you...". I just want to mean it...
This perspective was a bit unusual for the teacher.
Her girl, who was hearing all these, subtly blushed.-
We need to have a solid foundation about our roots and traditions. If not so, the ones who have a brief idea about that would raise questions and confuse our beliefs. That's an alarm indicating that we need to strengthen our knowledge about our traditions...

They were at the cafeteria during the break...
His friend: Hey... Newly committed boy... What did she gift you on this birthday ??
He: (looks around & with smile) It's actually peck on the cheek...
His friend: What ?? She gifted you a bird and it pecked on your cheek ??? That's bad... But your cheeks look normal...
He: (controlling his laughter) She was the bird that pecked man...
His friend: What ?? I didn't get it...
He: (blushing) Google it man...
After googling, both burst into laughter...-
Learn to embrace yourself during untold setbacks. Only then, you can let happiness hug you...

They were at the cafeteria during evening break...
She: Hey... Tomorrow, being Friday, casuals day, let's do dress twinning...
He: Okay... Seems interesting... Let's do... What's the colour ??
She: I'll let you know by tonight... "Pinky promise ??"
He: (a bit confused) Yep... Pinky promise...
Next day, he came with a pink polo with blue jeans...
She: (with laughter) Sorry... I was having severe headache last night. Couldn't tell you the colour... Didn't expect that you'll take "pinky promise" literally...
Her friend: That's okay... He kept his promise. That's what matters...
Those words hit her hard...-
The teddy...
He: Hey... Wishing you a very happy birthday...
And he handed over her bday gift which was a fluffy teddy...
She: Thanks man... This means a lot... How do you know that I love teddy bear ??
He: (with a smile) Your sister told me...
She: (with a smile) What if I chose this teddy over you ??? Will you regret getting me one ???
He: (with a smile) Your happiness is what matters... As long as this teddy is my competitor, there're no regrets...
And he winked... She laughed and said, "Don't worry..."-
The Chocolate...
He: Hey !!! Here's your chocolate... And handed over the balance amount...
She: Thank you... But I had asked you for the heart pop one and not this 70% dark chocolate...
He: (with a smile) Yeah... You're right... It was available at the store as well...
She: Then why didn't you buy it ??
He: (with a subtle smile) See... Popped heart makes you happy but your pumping heart makes me happy and keeps you healthy as well... So, that's the priority...
Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing this...-
