Story
Ram and Shyam are childhood friends. After their basic education, Shyam went on to become a
doctor and through his hard work and commitment he became a very famous surgeon. Ram on the
other hand got into the company of bad elements and became a drunkard. Because of his drinking
habit, his liver got damaged and he was admitted in the same hospital where Shyam was practicing.
What I saw in the picture was Ram’s mother and Dr. Shyam discussing about Ram’s condition and
how to cure him and get him out of the drinking habit. Ram is in an unconscious state. Dr. Shyam
pacifies Ram’s mother, and later performs a surgery and cures Ram. Thereafter, he counsels him
regularly and listening to his childhood friend’s advice Ram quits his bad habit and becomes a
counselor for alcoholic patients in Shyam’s hospital itself. Thus, he becomes a useful citizen of the
society. Ram’s mother feels very happy about the change in Ram and the way both friends are working
together to serve the society.
Note: The above story has three parts. The past: where Ram and Shyam were friends and were
studying together. Ram went into the wrong direction and Shyam maintained the correct
course. Ram due to his wrong deeds became a drunkard. The present: where he is
hospitalized in Shyam’s hospital and the mother of Ram is explaining the condition to Shyam.
Shyam helps Ram being his childhood friend. The future: Ram becomes a good person in life
and helps others. In this story almost all qualities are projected through the character of Shyam
and a message that wrong deeds will lead us to failure which is a reflection of your values.
