The other side of the coin...

 Most of my colleagues asking me “how u can be smiling always (internally they feel that “this guy don’t have any problems???)”…the answer from me is  “again a simple smile only”... 


Once if I look back into my life, which I spent until 3 years back is really a different world...so many sleepless nights…no money to take food twice in a day. Thinking hundreds of  times before spending one rupee....oh my god …no ending to the list…  


Like many of the Indians me also come from a poor family who are living under below poverty line…parents don’t have a single cent of land and house to live. They only depends up on their hard work …they will go for daily wages in the field. If they work through out the day they’ll get 25 Rs only….friends I’m not talking about the life before independence..i’m talking about the life which I spent until 3 years back..


But my parents having one strong desire  ...”at least they should give better life to their son”..


Up to 10th standard I never think about our situation…may be bocoz of my age factor or may be not mature enough to think about family situations.. After that I’ve started thinking ..”how they r working hard..”..can any body believe that “until 3 years back we didn’t have our own house..tv…at least power in the house where we r staying…the house we were staying is a shed where owners usually tied their cattle(buffalos, cows, oxes..etc)..there was no proper roof. if there was raining, we all will move to one corner and wait until rain stops.. In the rainy season it was really like a mess. The dung which the catle releases and the grass which crushed under the legs produce un-bearable smell.. but we are not in a position to afford  rent for a better hosue, that’s why we spent there only..

 

Once I realized these situations, I started concentrating more on studies…I got a rank in engineering. Few people helped me financially in those four years…finally I got job in a big MNC with a good salary..  


After getting job..in these 3 years i’ve given one beautiful house to my parents, arranged all kinds of home appliances….and even they r not in a position to believe how the life changed with in these three years… 


Now I’m well settled and getting more than 40K per month..but for me, those 25 Rs which my father was getting for his daily wage really valuable than which I’m getting right now… 


What I learnt from my life is “after every sunset there is a sunrise”.. Hope for the future…that hope gives u more energy to move towards your destination... 


Sorry friends…it is somuch boring na... ???????
