Dushera is not simply an annual ritual or a few days of fun & frolic, but a reminder to destroy our bad feelings and habits, to follow the right path – even when most difficult. Always!
Hello
I went to the Tree House Resort at Nature Farms for two days during the Dushera holidays. It is near Jaipur. We stayed in the Crested Eagle Nest – a room on the tree! We had three big tree branches going through the room!
I found many rabbits there. I had great fun playing with rabbits. They became my friends and ate leaves from my hand.
Nana wrote a poem for me. Enjoy with me.

One night, Emperor Akbar had a bad dream. He dreamt that he had lost all his teeth, except one.
On waking up, he was relieved that it was just a dream, but still he invited all the astrologers in his kingdom to interpret his dream.
There was a big debate on various interpretations of the dream and how it influenced the emperor’s life. They finally came to a common conclusion and shared their interpretation.
“Your Majesty, all your family and relative will die before you,” they said.
Akbar was very disturbed to hear the prophecy and sent the astrologers away without any gifts.
Later in the day, Akbar met Birbal and said, “Birbal, I am the most unfortunate person on earth. I will see all my close ones pass away before my own eyes.”
Birbal was silent for a few minutes. He did not like to see Akbar in such a sorrowful state. He said, “Your Majesty, I will like to read your dream differently.”
“Oh! How can you look at it differently?” asked Akbar.
Birbal replied, “Your Majesty, I believe that your will live a longer and a more fulfilled life than any of your relatives.”
Akbar was immediately relieved to hear Birbal’s words. He appreciated Birbal’s positive approach and rewarded him.
We should all remember that we cannot change many situations, but it is in our hands to change our approach and response to them.
The exchange between Akbar The Great (Mogul emperor) and Birbal (his minister) have become folk stories in Indian tradition and illustrate day-to-day questions through for wisdom, wit and subtle humour.
