HOSTILE.....?

The whole day Charu was unnecessarily blabbering for the sake of talking to Sri.She knew that Shalu often passed side glances at her and her heart jumped with joy.But this was tiring for Sri and she even wondered if Charu was sane .One time Charu even asked her if she washed and ironed her ribbons and whether lice would bite them off...!!

Then atlast without any patience she cried out..."Please stop this nonsense..!I can't stand it any longer." So saying she dashed off as soon as the bell rang at the end of the day. Charu was hurt at this, she felt sad and thought that Sri was rude and mean ."No wonder Shalu hated her" she thought. She looked around to see if Shalu had seen any of these humiliating moments.
But alas..! Shalu was watching her but Charu could see that Shalu was sad and her heart pounded at the thought that she had fought with her. They saw each other and started walking in the same direction. They walked close as they held their hands together without saying a word. Suddenly Shalu shouted " You passed...!! You passed ...I went again and saw your answer paper..". Charu was filled to the brim with happiness and she decided she would give her friend a new gift as soon as they reached home...

crystal-4....Hey Lunch Break...Yumm...

"Where have you been?..Lunch is going to be over." asked Charu to Shalu.She replied "I went after Mam carrying her books to the teacher's room" replied Shalu."Since when did you change into a ... never mind...leave it" snapped Charu. Shalini sneered"You wont guess..I just sneaked into our answer papers kept on the table..without her permission "
"No way ..really?", asked Charu. Shalini said "I got pass marks and Valli as usual didn't pass .., Oh yes and Vidya, Gayatri..they passed but...".Shalu was interrupted urgently by Charu. "What about mine?..Did I pass? ,I wish I did",queried Charu feverishly praying at the same time.

"Oh I forgot about your's,I think you failed...but Wait...What is your roll number?",asked Shalu.

"Its 25".
"You failed"
"What?"
"I think so"
"Tell the truth Shalu otherwise I will complain to your mom that you pulled my hair.."
"Wait ,Wait I think you passed..."

Charu irresolutely glanced at Shalu. She couldn't bear her anger and she bit her nails.

The bell rang and they all gathered under the huge tree but when Shalu looked around for Charu she wasn't near her. She searched around, and atlast found her near her enemy...Sri.
Charu tried not to peak at Shalu but she couldn't wait to see the look on Shalu's face when she found out that she wasn't sitting near her.

A day at the school....

crystal-3 ....A day at the school....

"Coming coming..........oye...", her friend shouted and finally she came ..after what seemed to be a whole day for Charu.They hurriedly went to their school.It was a very beautiful place..they had the huge banyan tree's shade all to themselves.They went and sat at the corner of the group of students, where they hoped the teacher would not pry on them.
It sounded like a huge market place where all the boys and girls chatted the events of the day before.Charu was telling her friends very exitedly about the miracle which happened the other day. "I had kept a huge peacock feather in my notebook....my mother told me that it will give small babies..if I behaved well.You know what...I found two small babies..yesterday...they were so beautiful."."Then why didn't you bring them today?" ,asked the nosy Valli. "Well, don't you know you are not supposed to take new borns out..otherwise bad people will curse them". Shalu shouted "Liar Liar...your cheating ...mine didn't give babies...". Charu replied,"Ohh...I think you have kept them in the wrong notebook,your supposed to keep them in the notebook which you read regularly..".Shalu was silenced ...she had nothing to say,because everyone knew that Shalu would not study even if goddess Saraswathi tutored her."SHHHHH.........SILENCE EVERYONE.....",yelled Mr.Govindan, their maths teacher as he posed before them."Ohh boy........"

Rushing off...

crystal-2 Rushing off...

She quickly got ready, and sat down to eat. Mother offered steaming breakfast and she finished it with relish. She took her bag and scrutinized if it had all the things needed for the day. ‘Hmm slate, pencil, rubber, notebook….something is missing’ she thought. It was troubling her, but she was late so she ran off waving to her mom and saying goodbye to her dog, a few yellow chicks and she couldn’t forget the hen, after all it was her favorite animal.

On the way she was thinking what had been left out, she used all her concentration and finally she discovered that her friend had borrowed her scale the day before and didn’t return it. “ Oh what if she is on leave today or worse still what if she had lost it”, she dreaded the fact that her father wouldn’t buy her a new one till the final exams, as it was customary to buy new stationery for the important exams.

As she passed her friend’s house she cried out “Shalu come out, we are late ,we cannot beg that teacher to excuse us today… again”.

CRYSTAL CLEAR....Charu Dear

crystal 1- Charu

She could feel the soft, yet mystifying morning breeze….it was her custom to sleep by the window. Oh, how cozy it was when the warmth of the sun slowly enveloped her, bringing with it the happiness of yet another day. She could hear her mother’s bangles clutter as she was preparing breakfast.

Charu was a girl of twelve, tan, pretty and oh yes, her long silky black hair was the cause of the envy of her classmates, or so she thought.

The aroma of fresh butter spread on chapatti (An Indian dish), with sugar sprinkled, not too little, not too much, was engulfing the house. She quickly picked up her straw mat and pillows and placing them upon an old almirah, wondered what she should wear to school today.

Hmm, would it be the violet with pink flowers or the yellow with green dots, she thought. She always had a fancy for the skirt with large leaves though. But today her friend Shalu would be wearing a new dress, so she thought she would get along with the pink one, as it was the prettiest.

Mother asked “Are you going to spend the whole day, trying to choose a dress? Get ready fast or you will get into trouble with father, for being late.”

Your subconscious mind is an incredible power that you have yet to develop and use to it's full potential.

In order to truly understand just how powerful your subconscious mind is you must first understand and accept that there is no such thing as coincidence. Nothing happens by chance. That means nothing is predetermined or meant to be.Your subconscious mind creates everything in your life based on the messages and information you send to it. You are constantly sending messages and information to your subconscious mind and 90% of those messages are useless or are working against you. Then you wonder why things never get better no matter how hard you try.

Your messages to your subconscious mind are your thoughts, beliefs and actions. So if you constantly worry about not having enough money -- you'll never have enough money. It's that simple. If you don't think you're capable of accomplishing your goals -- you'll never accomplish any of them. If you don't think there are enough opportunities for you -- you'll never find the right opportunity.If you don't think you can -- then you never will. Why? Because your subconscious mind is always working on the information you send it -- and if that information is negative then you will only have a negative reality.

How does it do this? Once your subconscious mind gets your message it then connects with the people and events that will help create the situation based on your message. So if you think it is difficult to make money then your subconscious mind will go out and draw you to people and events to you that will make it difficult for you to make money.

Understand that your subconscious mind does not have a moral clause. It does not distinguish between what is good for you and what is bad for you. It will only go out and create your reality based on the message you send.

Now it's important to understand that your messages to your subconscious mind are not just your thoughts! Everything you do, say and believe is picked up by your subconscious mind. So just because you start thinking you can -- that doesn't mean that things will miraculously change overnight.

Finally,in order to get your subconscious mind to create the changes you want, then you need to create a new way of living. And the first thing you have to do is get your mind working for you.
