The story of 3 Dolls - Keep curiosity alive

 Rewritten by memory & Tweaking to add my flavour to it.


A man called Jigyasu visited a shop and saw some Dolls.

He asked what is the price of the doll. 

The shopkeeper shared the price 10₹ for doll 1, 100₹ per doll 2 and 10,000₹ for doll 3..

The man was surprised about the price variation, he asked what's special about this doll why so high price for doll 3 when they look identical. The shopkeeper said if you promise to purchase, I will show the rahasyam. These are a set and to be purchased at ₹10110..

Now our Jigyasu was highly curious man and he had enough money, he decided to purchase these dolls..

The shopkeeper said, these are from the city of Dharanagari of Maharaja Bhoj..

They are not just dolls but they indicate human behaviour

The shopkeeper brought a set of colourful straws,

He started inserting it in the first doll.. Whichever straw he entered went in from one ear and came out from another.. This was of ₹10


Now the same thing he did for the second doll, some colours went in,  stayed in for sometimes and only a few colours came out from the mouth .this doll costs ₹100

Now the third one some colours went in and stayed in.. Some colours went in but came out from other ear, some colours came out from the mouth after entering a few more of the same colour, some never came out.  This was for ₹10,000


Now the shopkeeper explained. The first doll represents the non learner .  He hears and forgets everything, doesn't do anything. 

The second one for ₹100, this doll is a choice maker it takes some thing in and prefers to keep something in and shelves others 

The third one of ₹10,000 is an aspect of an efficient leader/ minister of the king. He has to decide which news to leave as it is or ignore, which is take in mind, what to keep secret, which one to tell and which are to be told after going in details.. 

Hence these dolls are very special. 

Learning the lesson Jigyasu left the place with the dolls. You can see the dolls with  Jigyasu as he never sold them.. 

But where is he, that's Jigyasa that I am left it

Jigyasa means curiosity in some languages while in some it means question. Whatever it means you question when you are curious to know, hence a person should be curious to know but also absorb the learning..
