This day, that is July 17th 2007, is an auspicious day because the new Tamil month called "Aadi" is starting. From this month to end of the Tamil month namely "Panguni" is jam packed with full of festivals.
Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, I am having indirect tax classes in early morning hours. Today i slept off, and didn't realise that i missed the class. My mother and father didn't knew that i missed my class today.
I could have concealed this matter by simply not talking about it. But later at one point of time they would surely come to know that i had missed the class and I didn't inform them. So, when they come to know this, I thought, i could deal with this issue by telling some lies. The other alternative I had was to lie this very morning itself that the class was called off, and by doing this I could avoid all the unnecessary arguments later on.
But, I didn't want to lie on such an auspicious day. (and i don't wish to lie on other days too). So,
I went to my mother and father and told that, I missed today's class and I shall update my notes in the next class. Initially my mother got bit angry, but later excused and father didn't say anything. Later on, I realised that instead of lying hundred times, telling the truth only once will be better. And, if I had lied, my conscious would have pricked me to death.
So, friends you might think that this is such a trivial matter. But just think for a minute before lying if the situation and circumstance makes you to do so and think about the aftermath of your lies. I'm sure that none of you will do that mistake. That one minute of thinking will save you from lots of unwanted troubles, which most of us fail to do so.
JUST Think, Think and Think .....
