Scientific reason behind applying mahendi(henna):

Besides lending color to the hands, mehendi is a very powerful medicinal herb. Weddings are stressful, and often, the stress causes headaches and fevers. As the wedding day approaches, the excitement mixed with nervous anticipation can take its toll on the bride and groom. Application of mehendi can prevent too much stress because it cools the body and keeps the nerves from becoming tense. This is the reason why mehendi is applied on the hands and feet, which house nerve endings in the body. Also, being a highly antiseptic agent, mehendi can protect the couple from viral diseases. Such diseases are totally undesirable just before the wedding and this medicinal herb can lend a strong shield. Any small cuts, burns or scratches that the couple might sustain during the course of so many rituals and customs can be healed easily with the application of mehendi. It improves blood circulation in the body and enhances general health. The initial practice of applying mehendi in ancient times began in order to protect the couple and keep them healthy.
Not only during weddings normal days also it cools body.Dont avoid my dear sisters.

Story2

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult.r. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.”
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. .
That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family.

Moral: You reap what you sow. Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. Always Respect, Care for and Love them.

When the cat had gone away, the mice came out of their hole.
"I am going," cried the country-mouse, "I like my simple fare in safety than this grand feast in such a danger."

AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY :
This is the story of two frogs. One frog was fat and the other skinny. One day, while searching for food, they jumped into a vat of milk. They couldn't get out, as the sides were too slippery, so they were
just swimming around. The fat frog said to the skinny frog, "Brother frog, there's no use paddling any longer. We're just going to drown, so we might
as well give up." The skinny frog replied, "Hold on brother, keep paddling. Somebody will get us out." And they continued paddling for hours. After a while, the fat frog said, "Brother frog, there's no use. I'm becoming very tired now. I'm just going to stop paddling and drown. We're doomed. There's no possible way out of here." But the skinny frog said, "Keep trying. Keep paddling. Something
will happen, keep paddling said the skinny frog. He fat frog gave up drowned in the milk. But the skinny frog kept on
paddling. Ten minutes later, the skinny frog felt something solid beneath his feet. He had churned the milk into butter and he hopped out of
the vat and it came out.
MORAL:- Never give up on your dream… perseverance is all important. If you don't have the desire and the belief in yourself to keep trying after you've been told you should quit, you'll never
make it If at first you don't succeed, try,
try again..... !!
