Unity In Diversity!
Hey Guys, It’s me. Maybe by now, you all must have already known my topic, so let’s get started. But before that, I have one quick question. How do u think our culture is different from other states? (Hint: I am talking about the Indian States!)
Well, Of Course, we differ in our religion, clothing, language, festivals, etc. We may be different in many ways but we are ultimately humans. You must have heard that India is called a Diverse Country. Let me tell what is the reason behind this through a story –
Once upon a time, there lived two neighbors in a happy cheerful kingdom. Their names were Raafta and Ram. One neighbor was Muslim and the other was Hindu. There were not just neighbors but also very close friends. They would go to work together, eat together in short, they did everything together. Many days passed in happiness, but one evening on EID raaftar was sad because he did not have anyone celebrate this time. His old parents lived far away and even his sister. While in deep thought, a small boy came and said that his neighbor is invited u to dinner. He was puzzled and thought why he has called me on a such day? When he reached, to his surprise. Wait, I won’t tell you further I want u all to guess what could have happened there that made raaftar shocked?
Well yes, He was shocked because in that room there was a variety of food laid on the table and along with that his parents and his sister were there! Raaftar was in tears after so long he was meeting his parents and his sister, after all. He thanked ram for bringing his parents and his sister. After a heartful dinner, He asked ram, why did he do this for him? Ram said He wanted to do something good so people from outside counties can understand “We may be different in culture but we are born by the same god, same land we are united in diversity.”
So, you see, we may be different in religion, but we can still be friends if we remove our religion aside for one day at least, we can see the true colors of the rainbow. Rainbow of Unity in Diversity.

Do Not Judge A Book By Its Cover
The English idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover” is a phrase that means one should not judge the worth or value of something by its appearance alone.
Let me tell you a story:
A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the fox’s mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.
The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again, he tried but in vain.
Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.
“What a fool I am,” he said. “Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for.”
And off he walked very, very scornfully.
This is why we should not judge a book by its cover. If the fox tried a bit more to reach the grapes then he could have gotten them instead he gave up and thought the grapes were sour. If the fox would have tasted them then he could have judged if it was sour or sweet.
