Story 7: The Dove and the Hunter | Corporate Panchatantra

📚 Kahani (The Story)

Ek jungle mein... ek kabootaron ka jhund (flock of doves) rehta tha. 🕊️🕊️🕊️ Unki leader thi ek bahut hi samajhdaar aur brave kabootar jiska naam tha Chitragriva.

Chitragriva bahut acchi leader thi. Woh apne poore team ko sambhalti thi, sab ka khayal rakhti thi, aur sabko sahi guidance deti thi. 👑

Usi jungle mein ek shikaari (hunter) bhi rehta tha. 🏹 Woh roz kabootaron ka shikar karne ki koshish karta tha. Ek din, usne ek chaal chali:

Usne zameen par bahut saare daane (grains) bichha diye aur uske upar ek invisible jaal (net) rakh diya! 🍚🪤

Dophar ke time, Chitragriva apne poore jhund ke saath udti hui aa rahi thi. Sabko 😋 bhookh lagi thi.

Achanak, ek chhote kabootar ne dekha - "Dekho dekho! Kitne saare daane! Chalo jaldi khate hain!" 🤩

Chitragriva ne rok ne ki koshish ki - "Ruko! Yeh suspicious lag raha hai! Aise hi achanak itne daane kyun honge?" ⚠️

Par sabko bhookh lagi thi, aur woh excited the. Unhone Chitragriva ki baat nahi suni aur neeche utar aaye!

PHASS! 😱

Saare kabootar jaal mein fas gaye! Chitragriva bhi unke saath thi, woh bhi fas gayi! Everyone was trapped! 🪤💔

Shikaari chhupta hua dekh raha tha. Woh bahut khush hua - "Hahahaha! Aaj toh poori feast hai!" Woh apna jaal uthane ke liye aage badhne laga. 🏃

Par Chitragriva ne himmaat nahi haari! 💪 Usne apne saare team members ko kaha:

"Sabko suno! Hum sab ek saath hain! Agar hum TOGETHER kaam karein, toh hum bach sakte hain!

Meri awaaz par, sab ek saath, ek hi direction mein, ek hi time par udna start karo! 3... 2... 1... UDO!" 🚀

Aur kya! Saare kabootaron ne ek saath apni poori takat lagayi, aur woh jaal ko le kar hi UD GAYE! 🕊️💨

Yes! The whole net went up in the air with all the doves! Shikaari neeche reh gaya, haath malte hue! 😂

Par abhi problem solve nahi hui thi... Woh jaal mein abhi bhi fanse the. Chitragriva ne socha - "Ab humein kisi aisi jagah jaana hoga jahan yeh jaal cut ho sake." 🤔

Tabhi Chitragriva ko yaad aaya - "Mere ek purane dost Hiranyaka hain - ek chuha (mouse)! Woh bahut hi expert hai cutting mein! Chalo uske paas chalte hain!" 🐭

Saare kabootar jaal ke saath udkar Hiranyaka ke bil (burrow) par pahunche. 🏠

"Hiranyaka! Hiranyaka! Mere dost, please bahar aao! Humein tumhari help chahiye!" - Chitragriva ne pukaara.

Hiranyaka (chuha) bahar aaya aur dekha ki uski purani dost musibat mein hai! 😮

"Chitragriva! Tum? Yeh kya ho gaya?"

Aur phir... Hiranyaka ne kuch amazing kiya! Usne apne tez daanton se jaal ko kaatna start kar diya! ✂️🦷

Chitragriva ne kaha - "Pehle mere team members ko azaad karo!"

Par Hiranyaka bola - "Nahi dost! Pehle tumhe azaad karun, kyunki tum leader ho! Agar tumhe kuch ho gaya, toh yeh sab kya karenge?" 👑

Chitragriva ko bahut proud feel hua apne team par aur apne dost par. ❤️

Jaldi-jaldi, Hiranyaka ne ek-ek karke sabko azaad kar diya! Saare kabootar free ho gaye! 🎉🕊️

Moral: Agar woh akele hote, toh koi bach nahi pata. Lekin teamwork aur dosti ki madad se sabne apni jaan bacha li! 🤝✨

📜 Kahani Ki Seekh (Moral of the Story)

"Akele mein hum kamzor hain,
Saath mein hum mazboot hain!
Teamwork aur collaboration se koi bhi mushkil aasan ho jaati hai."

🕊️+🕊️+🕊️+🐭 = 💪🎉

💼 Corporate Lessons

🎯 Business Mein Yeh Lesson Kaise Apply Hota Hai:

1️⃣ Power of Teamwork: Ek akela kabootar jaal ko nahi uthata sakta tha, par jab sabne milkar effort kiya, toh impossible bhi possible ho gaya! Corporate mein bhi, team collaboration se badi se badi challenges solve hoti hain.
2️⃣ Leadership in Crisis: Chitragriva ne panic nahi kiya. Crisis mein leader ko calm rehna chahiye aur team ko guide karna chahiye. Good leaders never give up!
3️⃣ United We Stand, Divided We Fall: Agar har kabootar alag-alag direction mein udta, toh kuch nahi hota. Same direction, same goal - yeh corporate success ka formula hai!
4️⃣ Network Ka Importance: Chitragriva ka network (Hiranyaka) time par kaam aaya. Business mein bhi, good professional network bahut valuable hai!
5️⃣ Cross-functional Collaboration: Kabootar aur chuha - completely different, par ek-dusre ki help ki. Different departments ya companies bhi collaborate kar sakte hain!
6️⃣ Leader Should Care for Team First: Chitragriva ne kaha - "Pehle team ko bachao". Par Hiranyaka ne kaha - "Pehle leader ko". Dono perspectives important hain!
7️⃣ Warning Signs Ko Ignore Mat Karo: Chitragriva ne warning di thi par team ne ignore kar di. Business mein bhi, risk warnings ko seriously lo!
