Blessing in Disguise

Things happen in our life beyond our thinking. We think about one thing but the other happens.

Today my friends and I was recalling our old days that how the parents were particular to discipline their children.  They would have never tolerated any kind of nuisance from their children.  We had to come back to our house early and could never go anywhere without their knowledge. 

One of my friends was telling that one day his brother had to go with his friend for some important work but could not inform his parents well in time.  But he was quite terrified about not telling his whereabouts to them.  She told that when he came back, he fould that his father is very angry.  He hurridly hides himself in the bathroom.  His father went in the bathroom and wanted to punish him.  Her brother found that some expensive crockery was lying there. Perhaps mother had put it there to wash it separately so it could not be broken. When father came near to him to punish him, he instantly picked the expensive crockery in his hands to protect himself.  Father could not go near him so that the crockery might not be broken into pieces. The "Crockery became CAVACH" for him. Father laughed at his presence of mind.  He hugged him and was very happy on his prompt action.  So the crockery lying there proved Blessing in Disguise.
